No. 1 66. LILY LYTLE BROADWELL HOSPITAL FATEHPUR, INDIA UNDER Woman’s Union Missionary Society of America This is the picture of our new Hospital, the gift of Air. Samuel J. Broadwell of Cincinnati, to be used as a memorial for his wife, a \hce-President of our Society, and a promi- nent founder of our Cincinnati Branch. In 1907 our Missions in India were increased by opening a new station in Fatehpur, a district where 1,408 villages with a population of 686,391 surrounding the city of 19,000 inhabitants, formed a vast field where as yet no Christian teaching had been inaugurated for its myriad of zenanas. The year 1909 saw the successful erection of a Memorial Dispensary, given by a generous friend, where medical work was carried on by a physician, a graduate nurse, and native assistants. This department developing rapidly, the necessity pressed for the erection of a Hospital, as patients came hundreds of miles for relief from suffering. This then, seemed the providential opportunity for the LILY LYTLE BROADW H consecrated memorial gift of Mr. Broadwell. Ten acres of land with "beautiful mango groves uixrn it” was secured, and the corner-stone of the Lily Lytle Broadzvell Memorial Hospital was laid November 25th, 1909. From our missionary, Miss Alice Wishart, we have this little pen-picture of the Hospital. “The road is a wide smooth track, lined with magnificent pepul trees which almost meet overhead, and Ixrrdered on both sides hv green fields and groves. I felt a thrill of pride as we crossed HOSPITAL AT FATEHPUR the wide space between the new wire fence and the build- ing, which gives promise of what is yet to come. When I saw the crowd at the little Memorial Dispensary and heard of the numbers they were having daily, it did not require a stretch of imagination to see the new Hospital filled to overflowing after it is opened to patients.” The adjoining grounds are rapidly developing in beauty, and lOO chrysan- themum plants were donated as the nucleus of a garden. Here in attractive surroundings, with a throng of the sufifering women of India waiting for admission, the Lily Lytic Broadzccll Memorial Hospital was opened in 1910, our Jubilee year. A gifted young physician, Dr. Grace Spencer, is associated with Dr. IMina INIcKenzie, and our Graduate Nurse, who has a corps of native assistants under training. Many beds are already furnished for occupation, and en- dowments for several at $600 each, have been given. WAuld you not feel it a priceless privilege to perpetuate in that far-ofif land where women have been doomed to priva- tion and suffering for countless ages, the memory of some loved one? If this be not possible, will you not send twenty-five dollars, which will support a bed for one year. Smaller sums would provide medicines or other necessaries in the Hospital. The support of a native nurse is fifty dollars annually, and in assuming this a double benefit is secured, to a patient and to the young native girl who is training for a life of usefulness. How many who have known the untold value of trained nurses in cases of serious illness, would be will- ing to pass on this benefit to suffering women in India? We need the help of every f^-iend.
