Description
Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Gentlemen, - The time has now arrived when, in accordance with the promise originally made by us, it becomes our duty to report to you upon the results of the method of treatment recently carried into execution by Dr. Fell and ourselves, in the Cancer Wards of the Hospital.
We think it well, first of all, to remind the Governors generally, that the existence of a special endowment for the maintenance of patients afflicted with Cancer forms a feature by which the Middlesex is distinguished from all other general hospitals. Patients with cancerous disease are indeed temporarily received into other establishments, but there nowhere else exists a fund applicable to the permanent support of that unhappy class of sufferers.
