Excerpt from History and Description of the Philippine General Hospital: Manila, Philippine Islands, 1900 to 1911As a result of ten years of hard work and persistent effort on the part of Government officials and laity, Manila possesses a hospital which compares favorably with the best hospitals of the world and which is already proving a veritable godsend to the people of the Islands. Although it has been in operation only a short time it is apparent that more space will be required in the near future. Applicants for admission have to be turned away almost daily. The fact that the Filipinos are clamoring for more room clearly indicates that the right note has been struck, and that the hospital is going to prove of incalculable and lasting benefit to the Philippines.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
