Excerpt from Small-Pox HospitalThe construction and equipment of hospitals is the province of a branch of sanitary science, and of this branch I have selected a por tion, viz., that of small, or as they are now commonly termed, cottage hospitals, having special reference in the treatment of the subject, to the use of these small hospitals as small-pox hospitals or pest-houses, or, avoiding those old-fashioned and apparently objectionable names, and adopting a recently recommended euphemism, hospitals for the the treatment of contagious and infectious diseases.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
