PENNILESS PETS HAVE A FREE CLINIC
WIDE RANGE OF PATIENTS AT NEW YORK INSTITUTION
(CERTAIN destitute New Yorkers may find some measure of comfort in a stroll up Seventh Avenue around Thirteenth Street these days. Here, across the windows of a small room with cheerful yellow walls, a sign reads “Free Clinics on Wednesdays and Saturdays.” The clinics are run by the Humane Society of
New York for cats, canaries and dogs whose masters are out of work (says an American exchange). Clinic hours find the small waiting room crowded with 30 to 40 patients, who have been brought in clothes baskets, shoe boxes and old valises by their worried friends. Dr William H. Dohm, veterinarian, aided by a white-clad nurse, prescribes for “mutts,” alley cats, birds, monkeys and squirrels with equal felicity, and a pedigreed wolfhound will get neither more nor less attention than a dachshund with the profile of a chow.
