The welfare department of this mammoth industrial concern, one of the largest in the world, is under homœopathic medical direction.

There is no actual hospital connected with the establishment, but there are 13 beds in the rest room for women, and two for men for emergency use only. All the sick and injured are sent by ambulance to Hahnemann Hospital, where all operating is done and all sickness cared for.

The amount of work done is enormous, thus, there were treated in the medical offices during 1915, 49,034 employees, which averages over 160 cases a day. There was a total of 1,095 accident cases, and the physicians of the staff made 1,767 calls. This does not include the work done by the matron or the nurses, house and visiting.

The medical staff comprises the director and three assistants, all graduates in homœopathic medicine and four nurses. The specialists, including the X-rayist, are also homœopaths.

The saving to the firm in the matter of drugs alone has been enormous, to say nothing of the great lessening of days of illness that always obtains when homœopathic treatment is followed.
