![OF THE SOCIETY OF THE LYING-IN HOSPITAL 1934 The Roard of Governors of The Society of the Lying-In Hospital submits herewith its report for the 136th fiscal year of the Society ending December 31, 1934. On February 14th, 1934 the Society suffered a great loss in the death of Edward W. Sheldon, its President,, from 1928. Through his inspiration and leadership the present Lying-In Hospital became possible. As a^ result of his efforts the work of the Society has greatly increased. To meet the increasing demand it became necessary to enlarge the capacity of the hospital by 26 private and 20 semi-private beds. Again this past year the death rate has been low. On July 1st Dr. Oscar M. Schloss, the Pediatrician- in-Chief, gave up his full time work at the Hospital and became a Consultant. He has cheerfully and kindly lent his aid and assistance since then for which we are grateful. [5]](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b31710979_0009.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
