HOSPITAL IN HISTORY
INSTITUTIONS HAVE BEEN
KNOWN FROM EARLY TIMES.
Before the Christian Era the Care Of
the Afflicted Was Considered a
Public Duty Philadelphia
Had First in America.

The first hospital established in
America was opened in Philadelphia
on February Z, 1850 For nearly two
years Benjamin Franklin and other
influential men were working for the
establishment of such an institution,
A charter was granted in May, IDOL,
and the first board Of trustees was
elected the July following,
The day of the opening number of
patients were admitted who were reg
ularly attended and given their medi'
cine free Joshua Crosby was the first
president and Benjamin Franklin the
first clerk.
The second hospit established was
in New York in 177l. From these ear
ly beginnings there has now grown up
in the United States veritable forest
of hospitals. Every city, town and
village has its duly appointed instltu'
tons of this character, and the hos
pitfalls of the United States are now
acknowledged the most handsomely
and thoroughly equipped in the world,
and serve as models for European ar
chitects.
Hospitals were founded in very ear
" times. India, Persia and Arabia
had hospitals supported by their kings
and rulers before the Christian
era AS far back as the earliest pc
riod in Greek history the sick are
said to have been treated in the Tenn
pie of Aesculapius at Epidaurus.
In the early Jewish period house
for the reception of the sick was
called Beth lIolem. Such an institu.
ton was Beth Saida, mentioned in
the New Testament.
Military hospitals are of compare.
lively recent origin, born of the needs
of warfare and the advance OF mcdi.
cal science and hygiene. In the Cri.
mean war of 1854 the French alone OF
the allied powers possessed anything
approaching the equipment now Coni-
mon to all armies.
The English wounded were carried
off the field in rough-and.ready fash
ion, sailors hammocks being ultimate
ly utilized as rude substitute for the
French stretcher and ambulance.
Surgeons attended the wounded on
the field, for whom there were little or
no after accommodations, until,
spurred by the publication Of Florence
Nightingales description of condi-
tons, the English government appoint.
ed Lord Merbert's commission, which
resulted in more effective hospital
service
The hospital ship was established in
the early sixties, and shortly after
ward the United States hospital corps
was organized, The army nurse corps
which is an auxiliary branch of the
medical department, was established
in accordance with an army bin passed
as recently as February 2, 1901.
Hospital Sunday is observed in the
United States on the last Sunday in
December, and in England the Sunday
nearest June IS, eli which days the
collections in chui ches are devoted
to the support of hospitals. The Gus.
tom has been generally adopted since
1873.
