ABSTRACT
Association, at Stafford House, on J u1y 25, Mr. Chamber1ain, speaking in his official capacity, quoted a letter from the officer in command of tbe West African Frontier Forces on the Niger. Captain Wilcox. paid a most flattering tribute to the virtues of the ladies who had undertaken service with the forces under his command, and declared his belief that tbe recovery of some of the young officers, who had been struck down by that most deadly enemy of the white man, the blackwater fever, was due to the attention and care of the nurses sent out by tbe AS80ciation. "It is," said Mr. Chamberlain, "a testimony to the courage and devotion of British women, that we fiq.d any number of them are willing and even eager to take posts even in the climates reputed to be most unhealthy." .
