Excerpt from History and Reminiscences of the Philadelphia Almshouse and Philadelphia Hospital Gentlemen: - I am before you to-day by appointment of the medical board, to discharge a service preliminary to the opening of the annual course of clinical lectures in the hospital. For some time I have been engaged in gathering material from a great variety of sources, written and unwritten, to secure the history of the Philadelphia Almshouse from oblivion, if not utter loss. The field is extensive and interesting, though its paths have been much obscured by the decay of time. So interwoven is it with the secularities of Philadelphia, that no history of this city, civil, political or professional, would be complete without it. The medical history of the Philadelphia Almshouse covers a period of one hundred and twenty years, during which time it has been located in three different positions.
