An Uncertain Disease.

There is no disease more uncertain in its
nature than dyspepsia. Physicians say that
the symptoms of no two cases agree. It is
therefore most difficult to make a correct
diagnosis. No matter how severe, or under
what disguise dyspepsia attacks you, Browns
Iron Bitters will cure it. Invaluable in all
diseases of the stomach, blood and nerves.

/ What New Haven really needs Is a
hospital in which all diseases to which
humanity is subject can be treated I'M
der proper conditions, and a law res
curing the examination and fOrcible
detention Of persons liable to communi-
cate loathsome diseases of a syphilitic
nature would properly provide patients
for one department. We have much to
learn and much to accomplish. When
we outgrow our amishness the law
that requires placard to be placed on
house which happens to harbor case
Of measles will be supplemented BY one
which will require more prominent
placard on house occupied by people
who do not keep clean, and who BY their
filth jeopardize the health and peace Of
mind Of other people
I cannot see why little child suffer-
ing with diphtheria should not have as
much consideration as man with III
broken leg. If in the latter case 1T were
necessary to send the sufferer to-
Springsde for treatment many would
consider such an arrangement very
brutal, no matter how brutal the pa
tient. Yet the danger Of death result
ing from the ride and the exposure
would be nothing while in the case of
the child would certainly be very great.
The fact that the most miserable speci-
men of humanity suffering from deliri-
UNI tremens, or other results Of living
worse than beastial, can be taken to our
local hospitals, given the best possible
treatment and tenderly nursed to re-
coyery, in many cases only to return
to his former way of living, and the
advantages Of the same institutions are
refused to the very best of people, citi-s
zens or strangers within our gates who
without fault of their own are afflicted
with scarlet fever, furnishes us food
for reflection.
Referring to the unwarranted fear Of
the proximity of an isolation hospital
to the homes Of the people, / beg to call
| your attention to the fact that on the
grounds of the New Haven orphan asy-
lum, an institution of which we have
reason to be proud, there is, very prop
erly, an isolation hospital, to which any
of the inmates of the asylum who may
be attacked by contagious disease are
| taken and treated. I doubt if any one
residing in the neighbofhood Of this in
| stitution has the least fear or dread on
| account of the lives Cottage" as the
isolation hospital is called. The only

AS basis for my opinion on this

agitation in 1898, including petitions,
remonstrances, communications from
the board of health and citizens, reports
of committees, and the various actions
taken by your honorable body.
For further information l have adj
dressed letter to the physicians Of
the city requesting an expression Of
opinion on the Springside farm site.

have taken the liberty to quote freely
and at considerable length, feeling jus
titled in so doing by the great import

for paupers alone, because persons who
are not paupers will not willingly go to
a hospital connected with a poorhouse
or town farm, even If the connection is
only one of locality.
So great an immediate expenditure,
and one involving also a subsequent
large annual expenditure, should not
be made until it can be made in suoh a
way as will be advantageous for the
patients who are to be treated in the
hospital. 1t would, in my Judgment,
be wise to postpone further action in
regard to the erection Of the hospital
until more suitable location can be
found.

1 believe that it would be very I'M
wise to locate the proposed hospital for
contagious diseases (diphtheria, scarlet
fever and measles) at any place so far
distant as the Springside Farm, and
that such a plan should be abandoned.
Such hospital located nearer the
center of population is greatly needed
and would be the means of saving many
lives. If located at such a distance the
transportation of patients seriously i'll
with those diseases would aggravate
their symptoms and lessen their
chances of recovery. Especially would
this be so during the unfaVorable
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1898-01-04

In answer to your inquiry as to the
advsability of locating a contagious
disease hospital at Springside Farm,
write to state that while l think that
such a hospital somewhere is better
than none at all, 1 consider the location
a very unfortunate one. The public
mind connects with the name of SPRING
side such ideas as charity, publicity,
pest house and other undesirable feat
ures There would be from the start
prejudiced feeling against such hospi-
tai in such a location. People rather
than have some member of their family
removed there would undergo all kinds
of privations. More contagious diseases
would be concealed than now. All this
would prevent the hospital from filing
it's mission. Furthermore, the location
is not easy of access. Patients would
be exposed too much to the influences of
the weather during the long ride to the
hospital. / should fear unfavorable re-
suits from such exposure. The place is
too far away to be within easy reach
of physicians. Most families would not
think of removing their sick there I'M
less they would have their family ply
stefan in attendance. Satisfactory at
tendance of physicians at this hospital
would be next to impossible. A busy
practitioner can not spare the time to
make even one daily call at Springside
and there is in these cases often neces-
sity for two or three calls a day. If he
tries to visit at the proposed hospital,
he must neglect his other patients. That
is neither desirable thing for patients
nor a profitable arrangement for the
physician. A hospital for contagious
diseases in order to be of any benefit
to the community must be within easy
reach. The public must be made to
understand that there is to be one house
in the city where contagio diseases
are treated while there are now hun
dreds, that well conducted hospital is
a thing less dangerous than the ordi-
nary private dwelling house. A conta-
gious disease hospital can be placed
right in the midst of the city without
any danger to next door neighbors
consider all money put into such hos
pital at the site as proposed as ut
| terly wasted.

II. b.
Haven.
Sir--At full meeting of the New Ha-
ven Medical association, held Decem-
Der %, for the purpose Of considering
your courteous letter to the physicians
of the city, the following action was
unanimously taken:
Resolved, That in the opinion of the
New Haven Medical association Spring
side farm is an extremely unsuitable
place for the location of the proposed
hospital for contagious diseases.
Very respectfully yours,
r. A. MCDONNELL, M. D.,
Secretary New Haven Medical Associa-
ton.
December %, 1897.
The transportation of a child chok-
ing with laryngeal diphtheria such
disease would not only be inhumane,
but in many cases fatal.
The opprobrium Of being at or near
the almshouse and pest house would in
a manner defeat the object as appeal
ing to the general public.
The change in public sentiment in a
few years concerning this matter has
been very striking. Five years ago the
question at issue was whether or not we
needed such hospital; at present,
however, it has passed that issue and
now is a question of location only. L
feel confident that, not physicians, but
the public, if this educational campaign
be continued as in the past four years,
will demand it's location in suitable
and reasonable place.
Locating it at Springside attaches to
it the brand of pauperism which large
majority of the people will resent when
one of their own family is to be remov-
ed to 1t.
There is absolutely no danger Of con
tagion from a properly constructed
hospital, and I do not believe that ig-
norant prejudice should be allowed to
induce this city to locate this hospital
on the poor farm.
/ cannot see why measles are includ-
ed in the group Of contagious diseases
which would require removal to such a
hospital There is nothing dangerous
about the disease at ALL 1 am sure l
should object strongly to sending a
child with measles to a place where
they would be exposed to diphtheria
and scarlet fever.
Measles should not be included in the
list. A great many cases never reach

weather of the winter or spring months,
when the exposure and fatigue of such
journey would be liable to very Sc
riously increase the throat or lung
symptoms Of diphtheria, scarlet fever
or measles and would endanger life.
Physicians and parents would very
properly refuse to allow their patients
to hazard such journey. The location
of such a hospital at such distance
would very greatly lessen it's useful
ness
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1898-01-04

In response to your communication, |
would say that what our city needs is
a suitable building to which patients
can be removed while suffering from
contagious diseases. This building
should be so constructed and equipped
as to afford agreeable accommodation
to people who have means to pay and
they should be allowed to employ their
own physician. The same building
would, of course, be used for those who
could not pay and would be under the
care of a town physician. Now am
quite certain that the well-to-do class
will never consent to removal four miles
from town, out of call of their doctor.
/ cannot but feel that the construction
of an elaborate hospital at Springside
would be most unwise move. In a
hospital properly located and appointed
there would be at times a considerable
number of patients, composed prifci-
pally of the population which occupies
boarding houses and public buildings
These people would be a. source of con-
siderable revenue as they would, of
course, pay for their rooms and care.
feel quite sure, however, that they will
never voluntarily go so far from town
as Springside. If I had student or
guest of some of our hotels i'll with some
contagious disease, should not send
him out to Springside, unless compelled
to do so by law.

Here ends the mayors quotations and
he says in concluding his veto:
1 unhesitatingly and heartily endorse
every statement quoted, and sincerely
hope that they may have much infiu-
ence with your honorable body, and the
general public
Many of us can remember when a
large portion of the community had al
most as great a dread of going to or
having friends go to hospitals as they
now have of a pest house. We all
know how thoroughly this prejudice
has disappeared Our hospitals are now
the refuge of many well-to-do people
and the boon of the poor. To-day the
great mass of our people would not OBJ
ject to going or having loved ones go to
our hospitals for treatment.
The training school for nurses MAIN
tanned in connection with the New Ha-
ven hospital is doing a work as import
ant in it's results as any of our institu-
tons of learning. The graduates of
this and similar schools have done and
are doing as much to save life and
make the sick comfortable as is posi-
BILE for the same number of physicians
to do. 1t would seem that opportunity
to treat the class of diseases under con-
sideration at the hospital during their
training would be of the utmost import
ance. Would, in fact, be necessary in
order to properly equip the nurses for
