To the Editor of the onrH-CHINA Dam News"
Sm,—With the coming of the summer months the fly and mosquito menace is with us again. We have in our Tuberculosis Hospital, at 37B Brenan Road, 220 beds for refugee patients, The disease from which the patients suffer compels them to rest in bed day and night, rendering them easy victims of the merciless attacks by these public health pests, which are specially numerous in that section of the city. For these unfortunate sufferers we urgently appeal to your readers for gifts of mos-quite incense or old mosquito nets, in order to ensure more rest so necessary for the recovery of our pa-fients, towards which the Shanghai public has already contributed so generously.
We are also greatly in need of an electric fan for our operating room.
Our hospital depends entirely on voluntary contributions. At the present moment our resources do not permit us to go to the expense of buying 220 mosquito nets, hence this appeal.
