139
THE GLASGOW CANCER AND SKIN
INSTITUTION.
409 St. Vincent Street (neai- Charing Cross).
Corp. Telephone No. 4158.
Receiving Hour, 1 to 2 p.m.
Consulting Hour, 2 p.m.
" The Institution has now entered on its eighteenth
ear of usefulness. During the last Seventeen years
019 patients were treated for Cancer (188 males
land 153 L females), and 16,208 patients suffering
from Diseaies of the Skli.'"
The outstanding features of the Institution con-
Itinue to be : — (1) The advancement of medical and
surgical science in relation to the treatment of Cancer
and allied diseases, by preserving thecontinui;y of ac-
credited remedies hitherto in use, and adopting such
others as increasing knowledge and experience prove
worthy of confidence — withtheviewof obviating, if not
altogether superseding, the use of the knife. In other
1 words, the Therapeutic treatment of Cancer as dis-
iagaished from operMive. (2) Affording isolation,
and privacy to patients — particularly to women —
whose aversion to any exposure or publicity in their
treatment not only accounts for much of the delay
and suffering endured by them before seeking relief,
but is answerable for the large number of hopeless
patients that have to be dealt with from day to day.
As hitherto, the Institution is conducted and main-
tained on the pruiciple that all patients pay according
to their circumstances.
