Publisher's Synopsis
""The Philadelphia Almshouse And The Philadelphia Hospital: From 1854 To 1908"" is a historical text written by Charles Karsner Mills in 1908. The book provides a detailed account of the history of the Philadelphia Almshouse and the Philadelphia Hospital, two institutions that played an important role in the city's social and medical landscape during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author explores the origins of these institutions, their development over time, and the various challenges they faced in providing care to the city's poor and sick. Mills draws on a wide range of primary sources, including official reports, newspaper articles, and personal accounts, to paint a vivid picture of life in these institutions and the broader social and political context in which they operated.
