California sgional tcility BOSTON LIBRARY DIEGO A GUIDE-BOOK OF BOSTON FOR PHYSICIANS A Guide-Book of Boston for Physicians Prepared for the FIFTY-SEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION OF THE AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION June fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth 1906 EDITED BY DR. WALTER L. BURRAGE BOSTON The Merry mount Press MDCCCCVI Copyright, 1906, by Robert Bayley Osgood All rights reserved D. B. Updike, The Mcrrymount Press, Boston INTRODUCTION This Guide was prepared with the hope that, by its use, our visitors may derive the maximum information and pleasure with the minimum expenditure of time and energy. We have tried not only to mention the points of historical interest, in which Boston and its vicinity are so rich, but also to give the most recent data of present-day Boston. Many places of great interest have received only passing notice, as an extended description could not be given in a book of this kind. Particular attention, however, has been paid to the various medical institutions and hospitals, an index of which may be found on pages 169-171. The illustrations have been prepared with care, and will, we hope, be a pleasure as well as an aid. The maps are the most recent and trustworthy. Boston's streets are proverbially difficult and tortuous, and if we shall have succeeded in making the crooked rvays straight for any of you, we shall feel that our efforts have been amply repaid.

Questions this record answers

Each answer is composed only from fields this record carries, and names the attestation for what it says. A question the record cannot answer from its own attested content is not asked here. Where a boundary is described as official it was promulgated by an authority with the power to draw it and is not amended by anything on the vernacular layer; where it is described as vernacular it is held by attestation alone and amends no official boundary.
