"Medical Mission Auxiliary, Church Missionary House, Salisbury Square, London, E. C.", "Medical mission itinerating work on the river Nile. Many villages are reached by means of this Dispensary Boat, and as the sick are being relieved, the Gospel finds an entrance. Such pioneer work is of the first importance. Particulars of work in Egypt and elsewhere can be gathered from Mercy and Truth, 1d. monthly, through any bookseller." A riverboat dispensary is moored to a riverbank. Two men stand on the long, narrow dock that connects it to the bank. The back of the postcard has a name indistinctly handwritten.
