The scheme also provides for dental, pathological, pharmaceutical and ambulance services, the estab- lishment of Home-Hospitals," where patients could be treated by their own doctors while in hospital, and a maternity service scheme.
The estimated cost of the scheme is £13,000,000 a year.

"In spite of the fagrant" paganja, which assaults the eyes and earg at every turn, young peo ple, on the whole, are cleanin thought and mind," he continues.
Young people, however, do not, as a rule, realise the frailty of h
