-{{anchor:​s40}}ST. JAMES'​S HOSPITAL, DONCASTER — During the past eleven years the little Hospital of St. James, at Doncaster, has flourished under the care of its founder, our talented and warm-hearted colleague Dr. Dunn, who, during the whole of that period, has never once asked for a single subscription towards the maintenance of the charity. {{anchor:​s41}}Indeed he has had no occasion so to do; for the benefits of the hospital have been so apparent, that there has been no lack of support. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s42}}Dr. Dunn is the only homoeopathic practitioner in Doncaster; — while in the town itself, and its neighborhood,​ allopathic medical men are found in dozens: — a brave and noble battle for truth has our colleague, therefore, had to fight. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s43}}The numerous workmen in the manufacturing establishment of the Great Northern Railway, at Doncaster, have been ever found among the earnest supporters of Dr. Dunn. {{anchor:​s44}}These hard headed mechanics — men of thought and intelligence — men who are not likely to suffer from the imaginary ailments which the opponents of Homoeopathy are wont to ascribe to its aristocratic patrons, have felt the substantial benefits of the homoeopathic treatment; and rally round their medical officer with more than the common seal of grateful patients. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s45}}The town at large, and the public press, also, gladly recognize the petition and services of the doctor, who was, a short time since, Mayor of Doncaster. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s46}}The allopathic medical men of the place have recently entertained the idea of building an Infirmary, to contain twenty-five beds, so as to extend the benefits of their present Dispensary. {{anchor:​s47}}To this end the town-council has been asked for a grant of ?1000. {{anchor:​s48}}The general feeling of the town and neighborhood,​ with the exception of course of the medical men and their immediate adherents, may be seen in the following remarks of the editor of the <span grade2>Doncaster Herald,</span> of February 12th. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s49}}"​Is the thing asked for wanted? {{anchor:​s50}}If so, have we the means at command to grant it. {{anchor:​s51}}The answer to both these questions given by the town-council may be taken in the negative; but we believe the facts of the case will furnish ​positive and unequivocal denial. {{anchor:s52}}We have already in the town an hospital containing twenty-four beds, unexceptionable in its general accommodation and arrangement,​ and accessible to all. {{anchor:​s53}}Its benefits are within the reach of the poorest, and its internal economy is commensurate with the known requirements of such an institution. {{anchor:​s54}}Ample room for all emergencies is always at the disposal of Dr. Dunn, and many have been the grateful recipients of relief promptly provided in accordance with the exigency of the case."​ +
- +
-{{anchor:​s55}}Again,​ on the following week, the <span grade2>​Herald<​/span> resumes the subject in the following terms: +
- +
-{{anchor:​s56}}"​We have seen what difference of opinion prevails in the council as to the extent of additional accommodation actually required; and we have seen that a large majority is in favor of trying the effect of a small addition to the dispensary{{anchor:​s57}}Now,​ when this is the case, we think that common prudence — not to say a fair share of deference for the opinion of others — should suggest an experiment of the modified nature here recommended;​ and that under these circumstances the council are not justified in rushing into a large expenditure in the face of the strong opinion which is held against it. {{anchor:​s58}}Let them condescend, in a case of so much doubt as this, to feel their way. {{anchor:​s59}}There is the St. James'​s Hospital, with twenty beds at the service of the Corporation. {{anchor:​s60}}Why cannot this idea be entertained by the prime movers of the Infirmary question? {{anchor:​s61}}If we are tempted to answer the query we must say that professional prejudice against the hospital is the true cause. {{anchor:​s62}}But surely in a work which lays its foundation in charity and goodness all such feelings as jealousies and antipathies ought to be cast away — especially as the building itself, which lies open to the Corporation,​ is entirely innocent of all and every objection which may be taken to certain new principles in the treatment of disease. {{anchor:​s63}}But in whatever way an addition to the existing means and appliances for the curing of disease may be pointed out, the advocates for an expenditure of £5,000 have utterly failed to show that disease, requiring treatment such as would be provided by the Infirmary, does exist in the proportion, or anything like it, which calls for such an outlay. {{anchor:​s64}}Until they have shown this — whatever the Corporation may be prevailed upon to do — we may depend upon it that the public at large will not feel called upon to second the acts of the Corporation with any liberal or appreciable amount of sacrifice on their part, notwithstanding the peculiar pressure which is brought to bear upon the case from without."​ +
- +
-{{anchor:​s65}}The editor here alludes to the offer which Dr. Dunn has, more than once, made, to the effect that he would place at the disposal of his allopathic brethren a certain portion of St. James'​s Hospital, so that the two systems of treatment might be fairly tested side by side. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s66}}The Allopathists,​ however, do not see things in that light. +
- +
-{{anchor:​s67}}Our colleague has just issued the following address; and, we learn, that if the town council be induced by pressure — for there is the appearance of very heavy pressure from one quarter — to grant a sum for the proposed Infirmary, he will, in turn, urge upon that body the claims of St. James'​s Hospital to a like grant: +
- +
-{{anchor:​s68}}"<​span grade2>​St. James'​s Hospital<​/span— This day is the eleventh anniversary of the opening of St. James'​s Hospital for the reception and treatment of serious accident?, and cases of acute or contagious disease; during this time it has been in a great measure self-supporting:​ its doors have ever been open to those whose misfortune it has been to meet with grave accidents; all cases, whether of accident or acute diseases, admitted within its walls, have, with a single exception, recovered; in that instance the injury was so serious, that the patient died a few hours after his admission. {{anchor:​s69}}These facts giving, as they do, abundant testimony to the utility of the institution to the town and neighborhood,​ will, it is believed, prove eminently gratifying to its numerous well wishers, as well also those, whose occupations are such as to render then liable at any moment to suffer from the very injuries, for the relief of which it has been established. {{anchor:​s70}}That the hospital (amply large enough for the requirements of the locality) has not been more generally availed of, is no fault of the founder; for, whilst treating the oases admitted under his own own on the homoeopathic principle, he has never refilled to those whose practice differs from his own, the accommodation they may have required; and until those who believing they need other arrangements have completed them, the opportunities hitherto at their disposal will continue to be presented to them. {{anchor:​s71}}The friends of Homoeopathy (whose name is legion) might have justly hoped to have seen the curative capabilities of the rival systems of medicine, so fraught with good or evil to the entire human race, tested side by side and this, most certainly would have been done if <span grade2>​truth</span> were the sole object sought for. {{anchor:​s72}}The founder'​s thanks are due, and are hereby gratefully tendered, to the Lords, Ladies, and Gentlemen, who, unsolicited,​ have kindly subscribed to the hospital, also to the six thousand one hundred and fifty out-patients,​ who have come, and come again, for medicine, advice, or surgical aid; more especially are they due to the enlightened men of the Great Northern Railway who have, ever since the opening of the hospital, appreciated its advantages, and have been its most constant, undeviating steady, and liberal supporters; and the founder assures these his friends, and the public at large, that no exertion he is capable of, no sacrifice he ought to make, and no skill of which be may be master, shall be wanting to merit continuance of such confidence and liberality. {{anchor:​s73}}The founder cannot close this anniversary report without holding in grateful remembrance the munificent bequests of the late Mrs. Bower and Mrs. Sandars. {{anchor:​s74}}— <span grade2>Monthly Homoeopathic Review,</​span>​ London, March, 1864. +
