A mint green card with black writing which reads "Eggs and Fruit may be brought in for Patients by permission of the Sister of the Ward, but will only be given to the Patients if sanctioned by the Medical Officer. No other article of food or drink will be permitted to be brought to patients. Any person discovered attempting to infringe this Rule will not be allowed to enter the Hospital, and his or her Ticket will be detained or cancelled."
Visitors are an important part of hospitals - bringing provisions and much needed company for patients. This ticket from c.1933, permitted Mrs Edwards family to visit her in hospital. Don't forget, only fruit and eggs permitted!
