About this work

Description

The film covers aspects of the medical care of children at the Association's Child Welfare Centre at Copperas Hill, Liverpool, and the Baby Hospital and Crippled Children's Section at Leasowe Hospital, Wallasey - "happy children who, thanks to the generosity of the patrons, are completely recovering their health". It offers a strong endorsement of the therapeutic efficacy of hospital treatment for sick children, of interest to social historians of medicine and philanthropy.
