The Philadelphia Almshouse and the Philadelphia Hospital: From 1854 to 1908 is a historical account of the two institutions that served as the primary sources of healthcare and assistance for the impoverished and sick in Philadelphia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Written by Charles Karsner Mills and originally published in 1908, the book provides a detailed examination of the history, structure, and operations of both the Almshouse and the Hospital, as well as the social and political factors that influenced their development and management. The author draws on a range of primary sources, including official reports, personal accounts, and archival material, to paint a vivid picture of life in these institutions and the challenges faced by their residents and staff. This book is an invaluable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of healthcare and social welfare in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
