‘Thelibararian (Brighton) rooted around in her card file, and found a record book for the Sussex Country Homeopathic  Dispensary, covering dates 1910 - 1927, containing 133 hardwritten pages.  I scanned some of it; the Dispensary was at 29 Richmond Place in 1913.  Chairman was always a W A Hounsom.  Last meeting, at 4 Pavilion Buildings, seemed to be winding up the organisation.  28-29 Richmond Place had been sold for £2314.15.2, (or perhaps that sum less liabilities) sent to treasurer of the London Homeopathic Hospital.
