Rowlandson, in another sketch, shows the physician taking his fee from the trousers of a patient who is no longer able to look after his monetary obligations. Still another satirical sketch on the matter of fee collecting by physicians is one by H. Daumier, reproduced here. It shows the physicians chalking up fees on the wall, so that there can be no mistake as to what the patient owes. Friday 25 September. Met with Acacia at home of Mary Wilson.

Starvation, Disease Take Lives Of 110,000 Greek Children Copyright, Chicago Tribune Service LONDON, Sept. 24 Of the 300,000 children in Athens and Piraeus when Greece was invaded, 110,000 are dead from starvation, malnutrition and epidemics, Dr. A. W. Cawadias, chairman of the Greek Red Cross society in London, said here Thursday. In two months alone, nine out of every 10 newborn children in Athens have died of starvation, he added. All the cattle, according to Dr. Cawadias, have been slaughtered by occupying armies and apart from small supplies of dried or condensed milk sent from Switzerland and Turkey, none has reached Greece and there is not a drop of milk for babies or children. In mentioning this, he urged that the British lift the economic blockade. The Greeks, he said, have thousands of parcels of dried and condensed milk in Argentina ready to ship to Greece but navicerts are not available. The ministry of economic warfare. he declared, is not prepared to issue navicerts for milk to Greece. One of the ministry officials was quoted as saying that no requests had been received from the Greeks but added, even if made, they would not be accepted. Under the present arrangement, he explained, only wheat is being sent to Greece and the ministry now is awaiting a report on conditions from a neutral commission on the spot. |
