LONDON. Sept. 6. Andrew Carne
gie recent gift of 1500,000 to the
hospital of London has come as
a veritable godsend to those vast
but needy Institution!, which are
the biggest and perhaps also the moat
remarkable of their kind In the world.
Most Americans, no doubt, are under
the Impression that Ixindon great
palaces of pain'' which yearly treat
millions of patients and are famous
among the medical fraternity the world
over. are. like most similar institutions,
a home, cither endowed by wealthy
founders or In receipt of atate funds.
As a matter of fsct, however, London's
hospitals are entirely "supported by
voluntary contributions" and were It
not for the donations of private per
sons and the general public, whose pen
nies oven are acceptable, these institu
tions would have to close up.
It Is owing to the fact that "the peo-
fle" run the great London hospitals that
he latter are operated on whuti from
ths American point of view, must be
regarded as rather astonishing lines. In
tha first place, no one but a genuinely
poor patient Is supposed to hnve access
to any hospital In the metropolis. Of
course, this rule Is not adhered to rig
idly; but exceptions to It are compara

orate explanations. The hospitals, In
fact, are regarded as strictly charitable
Institutions; and It Is for this reason
that they are able to boast among their

Considering that money la always "urg
ently needed" by each of the two great
London hospitals, It Is a wonder that
the nubile does not weary of subscribing
to funds which are practically a per
petual drain on their pockets. Occa
sionally one sees notices on tha outside
of certain hospitals that wards nave
been closed for lack of operating ex-
f enses. Appeals of this kind are qulck
y responded to and wards are not al
lowed to be closed for any great length
of time. If the general publlo does not
come to the rescue, some private lndl
vodual Is found who by a single check
manages (o open up the much-needed
ward.
Great Institution..
It is difficult for tha American read
er to conceive of the extant of some of
these great London homes of suffering.
St. Bartholomew's hospital, for instance,
forms almost a small village Itself. It
Is situated In one ofyie densest por
tions of London, between the general
postofflce and Smlthfield market It
r back as A. D. 1123
It require 1441,009 a year. Ths nu ca
ber of oases treated a year is 110,004,
Another of London's great Institu
tions for tha sick, known tha world over,
la Out's, tha treat hospital for tha poor,
founded In 1714 by Thomaa Our. The
upkeep of Ouy's requires $606,000 a
rear, and tha hospital treats annually
$$,000 patlenta.
Tha London hospital In Whiteehapel
treats every year 162,100 out-patlenta
and about 11,000 in-patients, and lta or
dinary Income la $160,000 a year. To
keep Ouy's. Bartholomew and tha Lon
don hospital alone going requires $1,
1(0.000 a year; and as tha King Edward
fund only aupplies $664,776, distributed
among all tha London hospitals. It will
be seen that tha hospitals depend entire
ly on the publlo and tba bequests left by
private individuals.
Many Patients.
, There are several other great hospi
tals In London, such as Bt Thomas',
Charing Cross, Middlesex, which treat
almost aa many patients as tha first
three mentioned and require vast sums
for their operation. St. Thomas',
though founded especially for tba poor
who cannot pay, has adopted tha Ameri
can system of receiving some "paying
patients," and certain rooms ara given
up to these special eases. Tha charges
are extremely moderate as compared to
American hospitals of tha same class.
Ona can be taken Into Bt Thomas hos
pital at 76 cents a day and receive
treatment from tha very best physicians
In Europe. Bt. Thomas' Is situated aa
the river Immediately facing the houses
of parliament. It consists of an Impos--Ing
cluster of seven or eight five-story
buildings and resembles a great univer
sity. This great hospital was founded
aa far back aa 1100, and wa rafoundad
in 166$.
Many of tha rreat London hospitals
received their grants of land from early
Norman and even Danish, kings. Tha
plots on which they rest ara usually
eiemnu, from taxation, or If they pay
any ground rent at all It la usually of
a nominal description, such aa five
horsesnoe nails or three grains of cor
per annum. Tha antiquity of tha land
? rants and the noble purposes to whloa
hey are devoted make these vast hos
pitals among London's most Venerated
Institutions.
Attached to nearly all the great Lon
don hospitals are medical schools which
present exceptional opportunities to tha
student. It may well be imagined that
every possible case treated bv medical
science may be seen by a student at
tached to a hospital that handles from
50.000 to 100,000 cases or more a year.
Some of the great hospitals, such aa
Ouy's, Issue weekly and monthly jour
nals which are read by medical men all
over the world. All the great physi
cians who attend these hospitals give
lectures free to the students and re-

Also Treat Animals.
While most London hospitals are de
voted to the care of human beings,
there ara many which treat only ani
mals. There is scarcely a form of ani
mal suffering which Is not cared for on
a grand scale in London. There are
hospitals for dogs, horses, birds, cats,
white mice and other peta. There Is
even a "Home of Rest for Horses."
Now that tha motor-bus and other
forms of mechanical traction are com
ing in and dispensing with the use of
horses, the charitably disposed in Eng
land have "got together" to provide
resting homes for worn-out equlnes.
Homes for lost and starving dogs,
drLnklng fountains for animals, antl
vlvliectlon hospitals for animals and
other benevolent institutions speak well
for the kindliness of the Londoner. It
is for these reasons that the English
capital has Justly achieved the reputa
tion of being; tha world's most cnarl
table city.
'It has been roughly estlmsted that
London hospitals require an annual
fund of something like $5,000,000 to
keep them going, and that upward of
2,600,000 receive the benefit of the treat
ment they afford.
