ALEXANDER MARSDEN,
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report,
expressed his gratification at its extremely satisfactory
nature, and referred at some length to the inestimable
qualities of the institution. Some time back, if a case of
cancer was found at any one of our hospitals, the poor
sufferer was told his case was incurable, and, conse-
quently, not admitted, but when this institution was
founded it was proved that by the constant application
of the skill of the medical officers the disease was to be
reached, and not only that, but it .was to be cured. It
had also been asserted that the disease could not be
treated in a separate hosiAal with success, but he thought
that was controverted by the facts which were shown
every year in the reports of the Cancer Hospital. He was
happy that the committee c f management had agreed to
increase the accommodation of the hospital for in-patients,
and with that view they had bought a piece of. freehold
land well adapted for the purpose of erecting a new hos-
pital. Plans had been drawn up, and the new building
would accommodate 53 patients. They were not going
to stop there, but intended to go on until the building
would hold 300 ; and he wished to live to seethe day
when their institution, which, as it were, had started
from a grain of mustard seed, had reached that prowl.
cent position. That it would be carried out there is no
doubt. The first part of the new hospital would cost
about 6,000/,, and through the kindness of Miss Bur-
,ffett Coutts they had 3,0001., so that a similar amount
was all that would be required to set the works going,
and when that desirable of was considered be thought
there would be no difficulty in getting that amount. In
conclusion, he begged to thank the whole of the medical
staff and other officers for their assiduous attention to
promote the welfare of the institution.
Mr. HALSWIDLL seconded the motion, which was car-

Thanks were then voted to the committee of manage'
ment and the medical officers. In reply to the latter,
Dr. MARSDEN assured the meeting that his colleagues
and himself would do a'l in their power to carry out the
intention of the subscribers and the committee of
management. They had found that some of the diffi -
culties that formerly attended their pursuits were begin-
ning to diminish, and their task was now more easy.
There was a time when cancer was hardly known except
by name, but since this institution had been founded the
attention of the whole of the profession had been drawn
to it, and if the profession had been induced to take the
matter up, then, if they did nothing else, they might con'
gratulate themselves on having done that much.
ne /cr could understand how it could be said that any
disease was incurable. He did not believe there was any
malady for which our Creator bad not provided a remedy'.
His opinion wa3 that they were in the right path, and that
ere long this dreadful riffliction would be better under'
stood and the majority of cases treated successfully.
The various officers were elected, with thanks for their
past services, and the usual compliment to the chairman
brought the proceedings to a close, several subscriptions
having been previously announced to the building fund.

iug been for a long time a great sufferer from piles and severe
constipation of the bowels, I commenced taking, about three
weeks ago, Du Barry's " Revalenta Arabica" twice a dal*
The result induces me herewith t) express my unbounded
gratitude. My bowels and stomach begin to remind me of
what I was years ago ; in fact,, I am fast approaching Wu'

life is but a painful burden. No medicine has ever done nie
the good I have derived from the " Revalenta." Digestion
has, in my case, began anew. With thanks, &c., WM. PATCUING.
