Animal Hospital .
There are many dispensaries and clinics for sick animals in Britain, but the Blue Cross animal Hospital at No.1 Hugh Street, behind London's Victoria station, is the only real, fully-equipped hospital in the country. It has most of the aids enjoyed by hospitals for humans, including an x-ray unit, an operating theatre, ambulances and trained nurses. Last year over 23,000 animals visited a doctor for treatment : of these18,000 were given surgical or other help by the staff and the other 5,000 were found homes, painlessly destroyed or otherwise dealt with. There is no charge for treatment. Each owner is asked to make a donation to the funds, but last year the cost of maintaining the hospital amounted to 9,000 pounds more than the donations. The balance is made up by the mother organisation, the Blue Cross, which has branches in clinics in most of Britain's largest towns. The Blue Cross itself has an income entirely derived from donations.
