Particular attention, however, has been paid to \nthe various medical institutions and hospitals, an index of \nwhich may be found on pages 169-171. \n\nThe illustrations have been prepared with care, and will, we \nhope, be a pleasure as well as an aid. The maps are the most \nrecent and trustworthy. \n\nBoston's streets are proverbially difficult and tortuous, and \nif we shall have succeeded in making the crooked rvays \nstraight for any of you, we shall feel that our efforts have \nbeen amply repaid. \n\nDr. GEORGE S.

It is thought that he landed on \nthe three-hilled peninsula called \"Shawmutt,\" which, accord- \ning to some authorities in the Indian language, signified \"Near \nthe Neck,\" or, \"Where there is going by boat;\" and according \nto others, \"Living Waters,\" for the springs of the peninsula \noffered the chief inducement for the selection of this site for \na settlement. A little later Robert Gorges, son of Sir Fernando \nGorges, reached these shores. With him was one Thomas Mor- \nton, who settled at Merry mount, now in the city of Quincy, \nand Samuel Maverick, who founded a home on Noddle's Is- \nland, East Boston. Still another with Gorges was William \nBlackstone, a graduate of Cambridge University, the pioneer \nand only white settler in Boston for several years after 1625. \nHe is a somewhat shadowy figure, who dwelt near a famous \nboiling spring on the western slope of Beacon Hill, one of the \nthree hills of the town. Spring Lane, off lower Washington \nStreet, marks the location of another early spring. \n\nThe town was founded in 1630, during the reign of Charles I, \nby English colonists sent out by the \"Governor and Com- \npany of Massachusetts Bay in New England.\" John Winthrop, \nwho had been chosen governor to lead the expedition of the \nBay colonists to the New World, had arrived in Salem the \nprevious June, bearing with him the Charter of 1629, which \ntransferred for the first time the control of the colony from \nEngland to New England. Salem not proving to their liking, \nthe colonists came to Charlestown, where they made the first \nsettlement, crossing the river in a few months to Trirnount, \nthe more desirable site. The order of the founding of the town \nwas adopted by the Court of Assistants sitting in the Gover- \nnor's house in Charlestown on September 17, 1630. The chief \n\n\n2 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nmembers of the company came from Boston in Lincolnshire, \nhence the name given to the new town. At first the settlement \nwas called \"Trimountaine,\" from the original name of Sentry \nor Beacon Hill, it having, before it was levelled years later, \nthree separate peaks. \n\nThe outlines of the old town are shown on the map on the op- \nposite page. It included seven hundred and eighty-three acres \nof solid land and marshes, and the shore was much cut up by \nbays and inlets. A narrow neck of land, often overflowed by the \ntides, connected the peninsula with the mainland at Roxbury. \n\nThe waters of the harbor came \ninto the town dock at the head \nof the \"Great Cove,\" where \nDock Square is now, and the \nCharles River formed a large \nbay to the west, afterwards \nknown as \"Back Bay,\" at the \npresent time filled in. \n\nThe South Bay, an arm of \nthe sea now cutting off South \nBoston from Boston Proper, is \nthe remnant of the original \nlarge body of water which oc- \ncupied this region. A ferry of \nrowboats was established in \n1637 connecting Charlestown \nwith the town, and for one \nhundred and fifty years, until \nthe first bridge was built, this was the only means of commu- \nnication. The ferry was worth forty pounds a year to the ferry- \nman in those early years, and soon became a source of income \nto Harvard College, being given to the college by the Court. \nWilliam Wood, an educated young Englishman, who visited \nthe settlement in 1630, wrote of it: \n\n\"Boston is two miles North-east from Roxberry: His situa- \ntion is very pleasant, being a Peninsula, hem'd in on the South- \nside with the bay of Roxberry, on the North-side with Charles- \n\n\nTHE OLD SOUTH CHURCH \nTHE FIRST KING'S CHAPEL \nAND BEACON HILL IN 1749 \n\n\nBOSTON \n\nThe solid black represents the part which has been filled. A large portion of what is now \nthe principal Business District was originally covered by •water and was connected with the \nmainland by a very narrow neck. The Cambridge side of Charles River has also been filled \nquite extensively. \n\n\nFrom Guide to Metropolitan Boston \n\n\nCof frighted, 1899, by George H. Walker & Co., Boston \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 3 \n\nriver, the Marshes on the backe-side, being not halfe a quarter \nof a mile over: so that a littel fencing will secure their cattel \nfrom the Woolues. ... It being a Necke and bare of wood \nthey are not troubled with three great annoyances of Woolves, \nRattlesnakes and Musketoes.\" \n\nIndians were about in plenty, however, and it was necessary \nto be on the constant lookout for them. It was for protection \nagainst these foes that the fort was built on Fort Hill in 1632 \nand another in East Boston by Samuel Maverick. \n\nThe following quotation from the early records shows some \nof the problems which confronted the settlers: \"At the Gen- \neral Court at Boston in September, 1632, it was ordered that \nRichard Hopkins should be severely whipt and branded with \na red hot Iron on one of his Cheeks, for selling Guns, Powder, \nand Shot to the Indians. At the same Time the Question was \nconsidered, whether Persons offending in this way ought not \nto be put to death But the Subject was referred to the next \nCourt.\" \n\nOur Puritan forefathers seldom did things by halves, as the \nforegoing extract shows. Heretics and \"witches\" had a hard \nrow to hoe, and punishments were swift and sure. It is related \nthat in 164-0 one Edward Palmer, for asking an excessive price \nfor a pair of stocks which he had hired to frame, had the pri- \nvilege of sitting an hour in them himself. \n\nThe settlement was hardly formed before a schoolmaster \nhad been appointed in the person of one Philemon Pormont, \nthe first of that long line of schoolmasters that has kept up \nthe supremacy of letters through all the stress of the building \nof a nation. Harvard College was founded in 1 636, and it has \nremained from the day of its founding not only the first, but \nthe foremost university in America. \n\nThese were the days of the greatest usefulness of the far- \nfamed baked beans. To the settler, tramping of a Sunday to \nhis three-service all-day worship, gun on shoulder and eye for \nthe lurking savage, it was satisfying to the inner man to find \non returning to his rude house that the smoking bean-pot, \nsnugly ensconced in the embers, had been cooking in his ab- \n\n\n4 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nsence, and was ready to supply his system with that toothsome \ntrinity of proteids, carbohydrates and fats/ the Boston Baked \nBean. \n\nOf medicine in these days there is little to note. As Dr. \nHolmes says: \"Our forefathers appear to have given more \nthought, a great deal, to the salvation of their souls, than to \nthe care of their bodies. Disease itself, the offspring of sin and \npenalty of a poisoned nature, was for them a theological entity \nrather than a disturbed physiological process. . . . Very little \nis recorded of the practitioners of medicine compared with the \nabundant memoirs of the preachers.\" There wyere physicians, \nto be sure, many of them well trained. John Winthrop, Jr., \nson of the first governor, for some years an inhabitant of \nMassachusetts and afterwards Governor of Connecticut, was a \nnoted physician. Charles Chauncy and Leonard Hoar, presi- \ndents of Harvard College, were regular graduates of medicine \nat Cambridge, England. \n\nThere were women physicians as early as 1636, when Anne \nHutchinson came to Boston to practise her profession. She is \nspoken of as a person \"Very helpfull in the times of childbirth, \nand other occasions of bodily infirmities, and well furnished \nwith means for those purposes.\" \n\nMargaret Jones of Charlestown, the first person to be hanged \nin New England for witchcraft (1648), was a practising physi- \ncian. Her medicines were said to have \"extraordinary violent \neffects.\" \n\nThe most important event in the medical history of pro- \nvincial times was the introduction of inoculation for smallpox \nin 1721. At this time there was just one regularly graduated \nphysician in Boston, William Douglass. He opposed inocula- \ntion with a ready pen, and was supported by the press. The \nministers of this time were quite the peers of the doctors in \nmedical knowledge, and it is not strange that the credit for \nthe introduction of variolous inoculation should be given to \nthe Rev. Cotton Mather, who had read in the Philosophical \nTransactions of the Royal Society of London that this method \nhad been used in Turkey as a preventive against smallpox. \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 5 \n\nDr. Zabdiel Boylston supported Dr. Mather, practised in- \noculation, and even inoculated his own son amid the most \nviolent opposition and abuse, his life at one time being in \ndanger. \n\nTo Dr. Benjamin Waterhouse is due the credit for the in- \ntroduction of vaccination for smallpox in the United States. \nDr. Waterhouse read Jenner's book in 1799 and a little later \nPearson's book upon Cow or Kinepox, and in March, 1799? \nbegan the publication of articles on vaccination. He received \nvaccine from England and first of all vaccinated his own son. \nHe furnished infected threads to President Jefferson at Monti- \ncello, with which the President vaccinated all his immediate \nfamily and probably himself. \n\nThe American Revolution began in Boston. Just when the \nagitation started which led up to \nthe war is a matter on which there \nis a difference of opinion. \n\nThe citizens of Boston had an \nopportunity to test their indepen- \ndence and their resources as far \nback as 1746, when Louis XV sent \na powerful fleet of ships under \nAdmiral D' Anvilletowipe the town \noff the face of the map because of \nthe taking of Louisburg by the \nProvincials the previous year. The \ncitizens sank stone boats in the BOSTON STONE \n\nharbor, and organized the \"train bands of the province\" to \nthe number of 6400 men. Their deliverance came through a \nviolent storm which wrecked the French fleet off Grand Manan \nIsland, in the Bay of Fundy. \n\nThe colonists of New England had learned that they could \nstorm and take one of the strongest fortresses in America \nwithout help from outside, and furthermore they had defied \nthe anger of the most powerful prince in Europe and had come \noff without harm, as they thought by the providence of God. \n\nSoon after this the impressment of American seamen in the \n\n\n6 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nBritish navy aroused the ire of the inhabitants. It seemed as \nif the home government in England did everything it could to \nantagonize the colonists. When James Otis delivered his famous \n\nO \n\nspeech against the \"Writs of Assistance\" in 1761 he was not \nsuccessful, to be sure, but he aroused the people and taught \nthem to maintain their rights. \"Sam\" Adams was the quiet, \nhonored leader behind the scenes who had the confidence of \nhis fellow-townsmen, both rich and poor. He called town meet- \nings upon occasions of need, and formal and dignified resolu- \ntions were passed against the British acts of repression. \n\nIf emphasis were needed to the resolutions a mob appeared \nin the streets and did Adams's bidding. The Stamp Act, passed \nby the British Parliament in 1765 to raise revenues in the \nAmerican colonies by the sale of stamps and stamped paper for \ncommercial purposes, and the tax on tea aroused great hostility \nto the government. \n\nIn State Street was shed the first blood of the Revolution, \nin 1770, when the soldiers fired on one of the mobs and killed \nCrispus Attucks, a negro, and two others. This was the so- \ncalled \"Boston Massacre.\" \n\nThe Boston Tea Party, as it was styled, when masked men \ndisguised as Indians tossed overboard a cargo of freshly arrived \ntea from a vessel lying at Griffin's Wharf, occurred in 1773, and \nwas the cause of the Boston Port Bill, which closed the port \nto trade. \n\nThese were stirring times in Boston. Dr. Joseph Warren \nleft his practice to further the cause of freedom. Three months \nbefore his death at Bunker Hill he delivered an oration in the \nOld South Church on the Boston Massacre, the church being \nso carefully guarded by the soldiers it was necessary to in- \ntroduce him into the building through a window behind the \npulpit. \n\nIt was only by chance that the Americans learned of the \nBritish plans to destroy the stores and ammunition collected \nat Concord. The secret had been so well kept that it is said \nGeneral Gage's second in command did not know until the next \nmorning the troops had marched to Lexington. A groom of a \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 7 \n\nBritish grenadier staying at the Province House let fall the \nremark to a hostler, John Ballard by name, that \"there would \nbe hell to pay to-morrow.\" This was April 18, 1775. Ballard \nwas a liberty boy, and feigning some forgotten errand, left the \nstable in haste and carried the news to Paul Revere, who al- \nready had made his plans as to the signal lanterns to be \nplaced in Christ Church steeple. \n\nOn June 17, 1775, was fought the battle of Bunker Hill. \nIt is a singular coincidence that this should be St. Botolph's \nDay, the East Anglian saint for whom old Boston in England \nwas named. On the same day befell the taking of Louisburg \nby the Massachusetts and Connecticut provincials in 1745. \n\nThe names of Warren, Putnam, Prescott, Pomeroy and Stark \nare writ large on the rolls of the heroes of the Revolution. \n\nThat the raw, undisciplined Americans, fighting in their \nshirt-sleeves in the little redoubt only eight rods square, could \ninflict a loss in killed and wounded of one quarter of General \nGage's force was glory enough, and was fraught with results \nbig for the cause of freedom, notwithstanding that the British \ncame off victors. \n\nThe loss of General Joseph Warren, the President of the \nProvincial Congress, was equal to that of five hundred men in \nthe estimation of General Howe, who knew him well. To the \nremonstrance of his friend, Elbridge Gerry, who begged him \nnot to go to Bunker Hill, Warren replied, Duke et decorum est \npro patria mori. Deeply hurt by the reflections cast upon the \ncourage of his countrymen he is said to have exclaimed, \"I \nhope I shall die up to my knees in blood!\" He was shot through \nthe head by a musket-ball, and his body lay on the field until \nthe next day, when it was recognized by Dr. Jeffries, and was \nburied on the spot where he fell. His remains were removed \nyears later to the family vault in Forest Hills Cemetery. \n\nDuring the siege of Boston in 1775 and 1776 by the Re- \nvolutionary Army, General Knox succeeded in bringing more \nthan fifty cannons, mortars and howitzers from Ticonderoga, \nCrown Point and other distant places to the lines before Bos- \nton, dragging them on sledges over the snow. One of the can- \n\n\n8 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nnon balls, perhaps from these very cannons, found lodgement \nin the wall of the Brattle Square Church, and is now to be seen \nat the rooms of the Massachusetts Historical Society. \n\nThe British used Faneuil Hall for a theatre, the Old South \nChurch for a riding-academy for the dragoons, the Old North \nChurch for fuel, and made themselves as obnoxious as they \ncould. \n\nOn the morning of March 17, 1776, they awoke to find that \nGeneral Washington had fortified Dorchester Heights, so that \nhe could pitch cannon-balls into the fleet in the harbor and \ninto the town. Accordingly they went aboard their ships and \nevacuated the town, and Washington came triumphantly in \nover the Neck from Roxbury. \n\nBoston originally had jurisdiction -over Charlestown, East \nBoston, Chelsea, Revere, Brookline, Quincy, Braintree and \nRandolph, so that even in colonial days there was a Greater \nBoston. It was not until 1739 that Boston was limited to the \npeninsula proper and certain of the islands of the harbor. At \npresent its bounds embrace 27,251 acres of original land, filled \nmarshes and acquired territory, and include besides \"Boston \nProper,\" starting at the east and swinging around to the south, \nwest and north, East Boston, South End, South Boston, Dor- \nchester, Roxbury, Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury, Brighton, \nBack Bay, West End, North End and Charlestown. Brookline, \nthe wealthiest town in the country, forms a wedge between \nBrighton on the north, and Jamaica Plain and West Roxbury \non the south, and so far has resisted all efforts to induce it to \njoin the municipality. \n\nBoston had a town government, with a board of selectmeri, \nuntil it was incorporated as a city, February 23, 1822. It is in- \nteresting to note that in 1734, one hundred years after its \nsettlement, Boston had a population of fifteen thousand, which \nis the present population of Boston in England. \n\nIn 1789 the town was made up almost entirely of wooden \nbuildings, of which there were some twenty-three hundred, \nand the population numbered a little over eighteen thousand \nsouls. \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 9 \n\nGreater Boston is supposed to include the \"Boston Basin,\" \na territory of some fifteen miles in width, lying between .the \nbay on the east, the range of Blue Hills on the south, and \nthe ridge of the Wellesley Hills and Arlington Heights on \nthe west, around towards Cape Ann on the north. This region \nnow embraces thirty-seven cities and towns, with a population \nin 1905 of 1,262,841. \n\nBoston is divided up according to long-established custom \ninto the following districts : Central or Business District ; East \nBoston, — two islands, Noddle's and Breed's; South Boston, \nprojecting into the harbor; Dorchester District on the south- \neast ; Roxbury District on the south ; Jamaica Plain and West \nRoxbury on the southwest; the Back Bay and the Brighton \nDistrict on the northwest; the West End and the North End \nand the Charlestown District on the north. The present popu- \nlation is a little under 600,000. \n\nBusiness has now spread from the Central District to the \nNorth End, West End and South End, and also into the Back \nBay. The streets of the city are notoriously crooked except in \nthe Back Bay and in South Boston. According to an old song \nthey were laid out by the cattle when we lived under the \nKing. Many of them were at first lanes and paths; all of them \nhave names and not numbers, with the single exception of the \nstreets in South Boston. \n\nThe town of 1630 was laid out along the water-front, and \nmost of the principal houses were situated in the neighbor- \nhood of what are now Dock Square and State, Washington and \nHanover streets. In later years the better residential section \nspread to the slopes of Beacon, Copp's and Fort hills, and up \nWashington and Tremont streets to the South End, finally \nforsaking this region for the Back Bay. \n\nThe streets were lighted by lamps until 1834, when gas \nwas introduced from the works errected at Copp's Hill in 1828. \n\nThe early springs in time gave place to wells, and these to \nrunning water brought from Jamaica Pond in wooden logs by \na company incorporated in 1795. Cochituate water was intro- \nduced in 1 848, and there was a celebration to mark the event \n\n\n10 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nat the time at the Frog Pond on the Common, for which James \nRussell Lowell wrote his ode on water. \n\nWater for the city now comes from Lake Cochituate, the \nSudbury River and the great Wachusett Reservoir of the Metro- \npolitan Water Works at Clinton, Mass. The introduction of \nwater was brought about largely by the occurrence of disas- \ntrous fires. There were serious conflagrations in 1676, 1679, \n1711 and 1760. The most disastrous of all was the great fire \nof November 9, 1872, which destroyed property to the amount \nof $60,000,000. \n\nBoston claims as her son Benjamin Franklin, printer, writer, \ninventor, shrewd statesman, diplomat. Franklin left in his will \na sum of money for the benefit of the artisans and working- \nmen of his native city. The trustees of this fund, which has now \naccumulated sufficiently in amount, are planning at the pre- \nsent time for the erection of the Franklin Union to carry \nout his wishes and to honor his memory. Daniel Webster, the \ngreat orator, statesman and lawyer, had his home at Marshfield, \nnot many miles from our city. \n\nBoston gave to the world the electric telegraph and the tele- \nphone. S. F. B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph, was born \nin Charlestown in 1791, and the first experimental line was \nstretched from Milk Street to School Street in 1839. \n\nAlexander Graham Bell came to Boston from Scotland in \n1872, and lectured at Boston University. At the laboratories of \nthe Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Uni- \nversity he worked out what is probably the greatest time-saving \ninvention of the age, the speaking-telephone. Boston is now \none of the greatest telephone cities of the country, the heart \nof the telephone industry, from which have spread throughout \nthe world this wonderful means of bringing people at a distance \ninto instant communication. The story is told of a prominent, \n\nsomewhat absent-minded clergyman, the Rev. , who had \n\njust had a telephone installed in his house. He became so fas- \ncinated with it during the week that on the next Sunday morn- \ning he startled his congregation by announcing : \" Give us hymn \ndouble one-o-six — sing three.\" In Quincy was built the first \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 11 \n\nrailway in America, a short line stretching from the granite \nquarries to the sea. \n\nThe Boston region has been foremost in popular education \nfrom Puritanical times. As counting in the educational equip- \nment, there are within the scope of the metropolitan region \nsome two and a half million books which may be consulted by \nthe public. Many notable figures in the realm of pure literature \nadorn the pages of her history. Parkman, Prescott and Motley \nwrote their histories here. \n\nHere lived Ralph Waldo Emerson, preacher, poet, philoso- \npher, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, that matchless weaver of ro- \nmances. Boston and Cambridge were the homes of the poets \nLongfellow, Lowell and Holmes, and Whittier lived not far away. \n\nNathaniel Bowditch made his translation of Laplace's \"Me- \ncanique Celeste\" in Salem, and Asa Gray, the botanist, and \nLouis Agassiz, the naturalist, lived and worked in Cambridge. \n\nThe fishing industry, always one of Boston's chief occupa- \ntions, still maintains its supremacy. Boston is the second port in \npoint of size in the United States. It is the greatest wool mar- \nket and the greatest boot and shoe market in the world. In \npublic spirit our city has always been preeminent. Bostonians \nare the first to respond with assistance in times of great dis- \nasters. The most recent instance is the terrible misfortune which \nhas come upon San Francisco. The news was barely reported \nbefore measures were taken to send relief. As a musical cen- \ntre Boston has been preeminent, and the fame of the Boston \nSymphony Orchestra has spread throughout the world. \n\nBoston has been defined facetiously as \"not a locality, but \na state of mind,\" and it is the pride of Boston and of Massa- \nchusetts that this state of mind is the heritage from Winthrop \nand his followers, who brought with them to New England \nthe best traditions of Old England. \n\n\nHOW TO FIND THE WAY ABOUT THE CITY \n\nCONSULT map facing page 2, and note the points of \nthe compass, the shape of the city and that Boston is \na peninsula separated from the mainland (Cambridge \nand Charlestown) on the west and north by the Charles River, \nfrom Chelsea and the island of East Boston on the northeast \nby Boston Harbor, and from South Boston and Dorchester on \nthe southeast by the South Bay. \n\nAlthough Boston streets are narrow and crooked, the dis- \ntances are not great. A circle with a mile radius from City \nHall in School Street includes all of Boston proper and small \nportions of Charlestown, East Boston, South Boston and the \nSouth End, and a large section of the Back Bay. \n\nThe Boston Elevated Railway has charge of nearly all the \nstreet railways of the city, both surface and Subway lines as well \nas the Elevated. The excellent service furnished has been most \nfavorably commented on by strangers within our gates. One \ncan make long trips from suburb to suburb without a change, \nand by means of the numerous lines of electric and steam \ncars the beautiful environs of the city are kept in close touch \nwith the centres of traffic. There are well managed cab-stands \nat the railway stations, and there are in the city large motor \nbusses and electric cars for \"seeing Boston.\" \n\nIt is well to get in mind three chief centres of traffic before \ndescribing the more important streets. \n\nI. THE JUNCTION OF TREMONT AND PARK STREETS. Here is the \nend of the loop in the Subway for surface cars to the west: \ncars may be taken for Brighton, Brookline, Cambridge, New- \nton, Waltham and other places. This is also a shopping centre, \nand Tremont Street, being free from surface tracks at this \npoint, makes a delightful, unobstructed promenade. Winter \nStreet, Temple Place and West Street, extending through to \nWashington Street, are close at hand. The theatres and several \nhotels are near the Boylston Street station of the Subway, the \nfirst station south of Park Street. \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 13 \n\nII. SCOLLAY SQUARE, formed by the junction of Court, Tre- \nmont, Brattle and Hanover streets, Pembertoii Square and \nCornhill. Here are the Subway stations for the main line of \nthe Subway and the East Boston Tunnel. Here the surface \ncars from the north of Boston, from Charlestown, Lynn, Med- \nford, Saugus, Chelsea and other suburbs, pass around a loop \nbefore returning. Scollay Square is close at hand to several \nprominent hotels and to the City Hall and State Street, not \nto mention the Court House in Pemberton Square. \n\nIII. COPLEY SQUARE, the centre of the Back Bay district at \nthe junction of Boylston and Dartmouth streets and Hunting- \nton Avenue. Here surface cars from all three streets pass at \nfrequent intervals to and from the Public Garden entrance of \nthe Subway. The Public Library and Art Museum, Trinity, the \nSecond, and the New Old South churches are in the square, \nalso the Back Bay branch of the Post Office. Within a stone's \nthrow are the Back Bay Station of the New York, New Haven \n& Hartford Railroad and the Trinity Place and Huntington \nAvenue stations of the New York Central & Hudson River Rail- \nway. One block away, beyond the Public Library, is the Harvard \nMedical School. Boylston Street, a continuation of Essex Street, \nwhich starts at the South Station, runs through the square \nnearly east and west. Just below the square are the Walker \nand Rogers buildings of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech- \nnology, and the Young Men's Christian Association building. \n\nThere are two chief railway stations in Boston, the North \nStation and the South Station, > \nthe Back Bay, Huntington Ave- \nnue, and Trinity Place stations \nbeing onlyadjunctsoftheSouth \nStation. The NORTH STATION \nis on Causeway Street, at the \nfoot of Friend Street, on the \nwaterside, at the mouth of the \nCharles River. It is the termi- \nnus of the many divisions of L. H. shattud,, \nthe Boston & Maine Railroad. NORTH STATION \n\n\n14 \n\n\nAMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\n\nThere is a station of the Elevated Railway across Causeway \nStreet, connected by a covered way with the North Station. \n\n\nmm mi \n\n\nN. L. Stebbins, Photo. \n\n\nSOUTH STATION \n\n\nElevated trains may be taken here for Charlestown, Roxbury \n(Dudley Street) or Atlantic Avenue circuit, including the South \nStation. The Relief Station of the Boston City Hospital is two blocks \nsouth at Haymarket Square. Causeway Street leads along the \nwater-front to the east, past the Boston ends of the two \nbridges to Charlestown, soon becoming • Commercial Street, \nwhich in turn merges into Atlantic Avenue, the long water- \nside street of the city. \n\nPassing through Atlantic Avenue to the south one sees all \nthe principal wharves of the city, and finally reaches the \nSOUTH STATION in Dewey Square. Both Elevated and surface \ncars run on Atlantic Avenue. Near the South Station are \nthree bridges to South Boston across Fort Point Channel which \nleads to the South Bay. The South Station, the largest pas- \nsenger station in the world, is the terminus of the New York, \nNew Haven & Hartford and the New York Central & Hudson \nRiver railroads. \n\nSUMMER STREET is one of the chief retail business streets, \nextending from the South Station to Washington Street at a \npoint opposite Winter Street. There are surface cars on Sum- \nmer Street and Washington Street. \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 15 \n\nWASHINGTON STREET is the long street of the city, reaching \nfrom the Charlestown Bridge to Roxbury and beyond. The \nSubway is in the northerly part of it, and the Elevated Rail- \nway in the southerly part. Surface cars pass over it in both di- \nrections except in its narrowest portion, Newspaper Row, be- \ntween Adams Square and Milk Street, where they go south \nonly. \n\nTREMONT STREET is another long street of the city. It ex- \ntends from Scollay Square, in the heart of the city, by Rox- \nbury Crossing and nearly to Brookline, being approximately \nparallel to Washington Street for a large part of its course. \nThere are surface cars on it except over the Subway, i. e.} \nfrom Scollay Square to Boylston Street. \n\nBEACON STREET begins at Tremont opposite School Street, \nand runs over Beacon Hill, past the State House, along the mar- . \ngin of the Charles River, and out to Chestnut Hill Reservoir. \n\nCHARLES STREET passes along the northerly and westerly \nwater-front of the city, and connects the North and West Ends \nwith the Back Bay and South End. There are no wharves of \nimportance on this side of the city. It extends from the Craigie \n(Cambridge) Bridge, past the grounds of the Massachusetts Gen- \neral Hospital and the Massachusetts Charitable Eye and Ear In- \nfirmary, by the new Cambridge Bridge, and between the Pub- \nlic Garden and Common to Park Square. The yellow Beit-Line \ncars run on this street. \n\nThe BACK BAY is laid out in the form of a rectangle, and \nthe short cross streets between Boylston and Beacon streets \nare named alphabetically, beginning with Arlington Street at \nthe Public Garden. \n\nHUNTINGTON AVENUE begins at Copley Square, and extends \nto the Brookline line. The Mechanics Building is on the lower \npart of the street, and Symphony and Horticultural halls are \nat the corner of Massachusetts Avenue. Near this corner are \nalso the Children's Hospital and Chickering and Jordan halls, \nthe latter being in the Conservatory of Music building, all on \nHuntington Avenue. The Tufts College Medical School build- \ning is a little farther out on the left-hand side. The street \n\n\n16 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\ncrosses Longwood Avenue when nearing Brookline, and sev- \neral hundred yards away are the new buildings of the Har- \nvard Medical School. \n\nMASSACHUSETTS AVENUE is a cross-town street, the Boston part \nbeginning at the Harvard Bridge, in the Back Bay. It crosses \nall the long streets of the Back Bay, Beacon Street first, then \nMarlborough, Commonwealth Avenue, Newbury and Boylston \nstreets. From the corner of Massachusetts Avenue and Boyl- \nston street it is a short distance to the west to the Fenway and \nthe Boston Medical Library, next the building of the Massa- \nchusetts Historical Society which stands on the corner of \nBoylston Street and the Fenway. Massachusetts Avenue next \ncrosses Huntington Avenue, and going into the South End cuts \nacross Columbus Avenue, Tremont Street, Shawmut Avenue \nand Washington Street, where it comes to the Northampton \nStreet station of the Elevated Railway. Harrison Avenue is \nthe next street, and Albany beyond. There are trolley cars on \nthe avenue except between Columbus Avenue and Albany \nStreet. \n\nThe South Department (infectious hospital) of the City Hospi- \ntal is on Massachusetts Avenue, between Harrison Avenue and \nAlbany Street, and the Boston City Hospital is only a block \naway, on Harrison Avenue. \n\nTo the visitor viewing Boston from an elevation the chief \nlofty landmarks which meet his eye are the gilded dome of \nthe State House on the summit of Beacon Hill, the many sky- \nscraping office buildings of the Business District, the Cathedral \nof the Holy Cross on Washington Street in the South End, \nthe Carney Hospital, and the marble monument on old Dor- \nchester Heights in South Boston; in the distance to the south, \nBlue Hill with the Observatory crowning its summit, and \nnearer at hand the white minaret-like old stand-pipe on Fort \nHill in Roxbury. Parker and Corey hills are to the west of \nthe city, and the large dome of the new Christian Science \nTemple, on Falmouth Street near the corner of Massachusetts \nand Huntington avenues, is much in evidence. Other land- \nmarks are the spires of Trinity and the New Old South churches \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 17 \n\non Copley Square in the Back Bay ; Memorial Hall tower at \nHarvard in Cambridge, to the west ; and to the north, Bunker \nHill Monument in Charlestown, and the Tufts College build- \nings on College Hill in Somerville. \n\nThe Subway was first opened for use in 1897, and the Elevated \nRailway in 1900; together they provide the road-bed for the \nElevated trains. Starting at the terminal in Sullivan Square, \nCharlestown, where surface cars gather from all points north, \nthe Elevated is a high trestle until it reaches the heart of \nCharlestown. It crosses the Charlestown Bridge as an elevated \nstructure, and on reaching Causeway Street makes a sharp turn \nto the west to reach the North Station; leaving the North Sta- \ntion, the tracks enter the Subway by a steep decline to Hay- \nmarket Square, and continue under the surface, through Wash- \nington and Hanover streets, to Scollay Square, together with the \ntracks for the surface cars from the north, which pass around a \nloop here. Continuing under Tremont Street, the Subway tracks \ncome to the surface at Pleasant Street, at the junction of Tre- \nmont Street and Shawmut Avenue. A branch of the Subway \nfor surface cars forms a loop at Park Street, and comes to the \nsurface on the Public Garden at the edge of Boylston Street. \nThe elevated tracks begin at Pleasant Street, gradually rise and \ncross the tracks of the New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail- \nroad and the New York Central & Hudson River Railway, turn \nto the east along Castle Street, and then south over Washington \nStreet to the present terminal at Dudley Street in Roxbuiy, \nwhere surface cars may be taken for the suburbs to the south. \n\nThe Atlantic Avenue loop of the Elevated begins at the \nBoston terminus of the Charlestown Bridge and extends over \nCommercial Street and Atlantic Avenue to the South Station, \nand thence by several twists and turns to the junction with \nthe main line at Washington and Castle streets. \n\n\nCENTRAL OR BUSINESS DISTRICT \n\nMOST of the older historic landmarks are to be found \nin the Business District and North End, or the part \nof the peninsula to which Colonial, Provincial and \nRevolutionary Boston was confined. \n\nFort Hill Square is a few steps from the Howe's Wharf sta- \ntion of the Boston Elevated Railway, passing through High \nStreet. It is the site of Fort Hill, one of the original hills of old \nBoston, levelled in 1867-72. Close at hand, at the foot of \nPearl Street, near what is now the western side of Atlantic \n\n'\"\" Avenue, — the waterside \nstreet, — was Griffin's \nWharf, scene of the Boston \nTea Party. A tablet, with a \nmodel of a tea ship and an \ninscription, marks the spot. \nGoing up Pearl Street, \naway from the harbor, we \nenter Milk Street just be- \nlow Post Office Square. \nThe Post Office marks the \neasterly limit of the great \nfire of 1 872, which burned \nover an area of sixty acres, \nand destroyed property to \nthe amount of sixty mil- \nlion dollars. The crumbled \nstone on the Milk Street \nside of the building and a \ntablet in the wall com- \nTHE OLD SOUTH CHURCH memorate the disaster. \n\nMilk and Pearl streets were the site of many fine residences \nin the latter part of the eighteenth and early part of the nine- \nteenth centuries. Some of the first families of the town occupied \nspacious mansions, surrounded by ample lawns and gardens, in \nthis vicinity. \n\n\nCENTRAL DISTRICT AN \n\n\nCircles I Mile Ridiui \nScd/e-fZOOFrTOAN \n\nfXPLANATION. \n\nSteam /? on Washington Street — is \none of the most important \nchurches of the Congre- \ngational Trinitarian faith \nin New England. Dr. G. A. \nGordon is the pastor. \n\nAlso on the Boylston St. \nside of Copley Sq. are the \nGirls' Latin School and the \nSecond Church (Congrega- \ntional Unitarian). This \nchurch has had many dis- \ntinguished ministers, in- \ncluding the three Mathers, \n— Samuel, Increase and \nCotton, — and Ralph Waldo \nEmerson. \n\nGoing out Boylston \nTHE NEW \" OLD SOUTH \" CHURCH Street from Copley Square, \none comes, on the left, to the building of the HARVARD MEDICAL \nSCHOOL. This is on the corner of Exeter Street, and has been \nthe home of the school since it was moved from the North \nGrove Street building in 1883. At the end of the present school \nyear this building will be given up for the new and beautiful \nbuildings on Longwood Avenue. Directly behind the Medical \nSchool, facing on Exeter Street, is the clubhouse of the Boston \nAthletic Association. \n\nOn the fifth floor of the building at No. 739 Boylston Street, \nthe Boston Board of Health Laboratory occupies a floor space of \n2,600 square feet. This laboratory is under the charge of a di- \nrector and two assistants, and renders great assistance to Bos- \nton physicians by making all sorts of bacteriological examina- \ntions for them. The work is done free in all cases in which \neither the physician or the patient is a resident of Boston. The \nfirst work of this laboratory was almost entirely limited to the \nexamination of cultures from cases of suspected diphtheria. \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 65 \n\nThere are now fifty stations in drug stores scattered over the \ncity, where physicians can obtain outfits for use in suspected \ncases of diphtheria, tuberculosis, malaria, typhoid fever and gon- \norrhoeal ophthalmia, and may leave specimens with assurance \nof a speedy report. The laboratory is willing to carry out any \nbacteriological examinations that can properly be called public- \nhealth work. Visitors are always welcome. The Board of Health \nhas charge of the inspection of the public schools of the city, \nemploying a corps of fifty physicians, each one being assigned to \na district containing a definite number of schools and scholars, \nand each responsible to the board for the health of the pupils \nand for the sanitary condition of the schoolhouses in his care. \n\nAt the corner of Boylston and Hereford streets is the re- \ncently completed building of the Tennis and Racquet Club. \n\nThe Medical Baths in the Farragut Building, No. 126 Massa- \nchusetts Avenue, corner of Boylston Street, were started by a \ncommittee of representative medical men, in order that Boston \nmight have the advantage of a scientific hydrotherapeutic es- \ntablishment. This is a thoroughly equipped plant, under com- \npetent medical supervision, where hydrotherapeutic measures \nmay be carried out either according to the judgment of the \npatient's physician, or, if he so wishes, according to the judg- \nment of the medical men in charge. \n\nAt the corner of Boylston Street and the Fenway is the \nbuilding of the Massachusetts Historical Society, founded in 1791- \nBesides a priceless library, the Historical Society has an inter- \nesting museum, which the genial secretary, Dr. Samuel A. \nGreen, former mayor of Boston, will be glad to show to the \nmembers of the American Medical Association. \n\nAcross the Fenway from the Historical Society's building is \na memorial to John Boyle O'Reilly, the Irish poet and patriot, \nwho was for many years the editor of a Boston paper, the\" Pilot.\" \n\nNext to the building of the Historical Society, and facing \non the Fenway, is the BOSTON MEDICAL LIBRARY. This associa- \ntion was formed in 1875, and the first library consisted of 1,500 \nvolumes, housed in two rooms on Hamilton Place. A little \nlater a house was purchased at No. 19 Boylston Place, and re- \n\n\nBOSTON MEDICAL LIBRARY \n\n\n66 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nmodelled so as to give a hall for medical meetings on the first \n\nfloor, around the walls of \nwhich were the book- \n. . shelves. On the second \n\nfloor was a reading-room \nand office. The library re- \nmained at No. 19 Boylston \nPlace for twenty-two years, \nuntil its building was so \noutgrown that 10,000 vol- \numes had to be stored in \nother places. \n\nIn 1898 the movement \nwas started that resulted \nin the erection of the \npresent building, which \nhas been occupied since \nJanuary, 1901. Besides \nadequate stacks for the care of the books, there are several \nreading-rooms, the largest of which is Holmes Hall. This beau- \ntiful hall was named after Oliver Wendell Holmes, the li- \nbrary's first president. The library building serves as a meeting- \nplace for most of Boston's larger medical societies, and many \nof the smaller ones, and has for this purpose three halls and \nseveral rooms, including a supper-room. The largest hall seats \nabout three hundred persons, and the other two about sixty. \nAmong the medical societies which meet at the library men- \ntion should be made of the Boston Society for Medical Im- \nprovement, incorporated in 1839. It has had much to do with \nthe upbuilding of medicine in Boston. A Directory for Nurses, \nwhich is under the charge of the Association, has its headquar- \nters in this building. In addition to 50,000 bound volumes and \n22,000 pamphlets, the library contains a very large and valuable \ncollection of medical medals (the Storer Collection), many por- \ntraits of medical men, besides autographs, prints and other \nthings of medical interest. The present library is largely the \nresult of the untiring energy of the late Dr. James R. Chad wick, \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 67 \n\nwho was librarian from its founding, in 1875, to the time of his \ndeath, in the fall of 1Q05. The Medical Library is the home of \nthe Massachusetts Medical Society. \n\nThe Massachusetts Medical Society was formed in 1781, with \npower to elect officers, examine and license candidates for prac- \ntice, hold real estate, and \"continue as a body politic and cor- \nporate by the same name forever.\" It was reorganized largely \nthrough the efforts of James Jackson, in 1803. Candidates, \neither male or female, for membership in the society must be \nnot less than twenty-one years of age, and of good moral char- \nacter; must satisfy the censors, by oral and written examina- \ntion, that they have a good general English education, that \nthey have some knowledge of Latin, and that they have studied \nmedicine and surgery three full years, and have attended two \nfull courses of lectures in separate years at an authorized medi- \ncal school recognized by the councillors of the society, and \npossess a diploma from some such school. A candidate must \nnot profess to cure diseases by, nor intend to practise, spiritual- \nism, homeopathy, allopathy, Thomsonianism, eclecticism, or \nany other irregular or exclusive system. \n\nThere is an annual meeting and a dinner of the society in \nthe month of June each year, and the district societies, of \nwhich there are eighteen, hold more or less frequent meetings \nduring the year, and an annual meeting at least ten days be- \nfore the meeting of the parent society. \n\nThe present membership of the society is about three thou- \nsand. The dues are five dollars a year. The proceedings of the \nsociety and the annual address are published each year. Most \nof the reputable regular physicians of the State are members \nof the Massachusetts Medical Society. Being a member, how- \never, does not give the right to practise. \n\nThe Board of Registration in Medicine confers authority to \npractise medicine in Massachusetts. It is composed of seven \nphysicians, each appointed by the Governor, and serving for a \nperiod of seven years. No member of the board shall belong to \nthe faculty of any medical college, and no more than three \nmembers shall at one time be members of any one chartered \n\n\n68 \n\n\nAMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\n\nstate medical society. Examinations are held three times a year, \n\n• and applicants for regis- \ntration are given certifi- \ncates if they are found by \na majority of the board to \nbe twenty-one years of \nage or over, of good moral \ncharacter, to have passed \nthe examinations, which \nare wholly or in part in \n; writing, and to have paid \n\na fee of twenty dollars. \n\nFENWAY COURT From the windows of \n\nthe Medical Library one looks out upon the Fens, a part of \nBoston's park system, around which it is expected many fine \nresidences will be built in the not far distant future. \n\nDirectly across the Fens from the library rises the group of \nwhite marble buildings of the HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL. In \nthe foreground is Fenway Court or the Isabella Stewart Gardner \nMuseum of Art, which is also the Boston residence of Mrs. John L. \nGardner. This is built after the style of an Italian palace, and \nmuch of the material used in its construction was brought from \nItaly. The museum contains Mrs. Gardner's valuable collection \nof pictures, marbles and other works of art. Admission to this \ncollection is to be had at stated intervals by means of tickets. \nOn the right of Mrs. Gardner's residence is Simmons College, \nits founder declaring \nits purpose to be \"to \nfurnish to women in- \nstruction and training \nin such branches of \nart, science, and in- \ndustry as may be ser- \nviceable in enabling \nthem to acquire a live- \nlihood.\" The main \nbuilding seen here is SIMMONS COLLEGE \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 69 \n\na long structure of brick, consisting of a central section and \ntwo wings. The central pavilion, adorned by stone columns \nwhich rise from the second story, is crowned by a huge cop- \nper ventilating lantern. Although Simmons College was not \nincorporated until 1899? it has a large and increasing number \nof students. A dormitory for the students of the college is situ- \nated on Brookline Avenue, not far from its junction with the \nparkway. \n\nThe new edifice of the Church of the Disciples is to be seen \non Peterborough Street. This church society, of which James \nFreeman Clarke was for many years the pastor, worshipped \nuntil recently in the building at the corner of Warren Avenue \nand West Brookline Street. \n\nTo the left of Copley Square is Huntington Avenue. At \nNo. 30 is the Laboratory of the Boston Board of Health, where \nmilk and vinegar are analyzed. On the right of Huntington \nAvenue, about two blocks beyond Copley Square, is the Me- \nchanics Building. This is a large building, which covers seven \nacres of land and belongs to the Massachusetts Charitable Me- \nchanics Association. It has two very large halls, one used for \nexhibition purposes, and the other as an auditorium with a seat- \ning capacity of eight thousand. \nBesides these halls the build- \ning contains trade schools and \na Normal School of Gymnas- \ntics. The society was founded \nin 1795, and Paul Revere was \nits first president. Its object \nwas to relieve the wants of un- \nfortunate mechanics and their \nfamilies, and to promote in- \nventions and improvements in \nmechanic arts. The present building was erected in 1880-1. \n\nOn St. Botolph Street, which runs parallel to Huntington \nAvenue to the south, is the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, on \nthe corner of Garrison Street. Pharmacists must be registered \nby the State Board of Registration in Pharmacy in order to do \n\n\n70 \n\n\nAMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\n\nIf. L. Stebbins, Photo. \n\nHORTICULTURAL HALL \n\n\nbusiness in the Common- \nwealth. \n\nAt No. 2 1 8 Huntington \nAvenue is the clubhouse \nof the Elysium Club. This \nclub includes in its mem- \nbership most of Boston's \nprominent Hebrews. \n\nTo the right of Hun- \ntington Avenue, just be- \nfore one reaches Massachusetts Avenue, is to be seen the huge \nChristian Science Church, which is to be dedicated June 10. This \nbuilding, which is joined to the so-called \"Mother Church,\" has \nmore the proportions of an Old World cathedral than of a \nchurch. It is said that its cost, together with that of a large plot \nof land, will be upwards of two million dollars. It will have a seat- \ning capacity of five thousand. Its dome, surmounted by a cupola, \nis two hundred and twenty-four feet high, — a landmark which \ncan be seen at a very considerable distance. \n\nNear the intersection of Huntington and Massachusetts \navenues are several buildings which are of interest. Chickering \nHall is a low, rather ornate building, used for musical purposes. \nMany small concerts are held here. \n\nHorticultural Hall, on the northeast corner of Huntington \nand Massachu- \nsetts avenues, is \nthe new building \nof the Massachu- \nsetts Horticultu- \nral Society, which \nwas founded in \n1829. The former \nheadquarters of \nthe society, on \nthe site of the \nPaddock Build- \ning, was for many SYMPHONY HALL \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON \n\n\n71 \n\n\nyears one of the striking landmarks of Tremont Street. Every \nyear the society has many exhibitions of fruit, plants, flowers, \nvegetables, fungi, £c. \n\n\nCHILDREN S HOSPITAL \n\nAcross Massachusetts Avenue from Horticultural Hall is \nSymphony Hall. Here are given during the fall and winter the \nconcerts of the celebrated Boston Symphony Orchestra. During \nthe spring members of the same orchestra give a series of popu- \nlar promenade concerts called \"Pops.\" \n\nOn Huntington Avenue, just beyond Symphony Hall, is the \nChildren's Hospital. This institution, incorporated in 1869, was \nfor a time at No. 9 Rutland Street, and later at No. 1429 Wash- \nington Street. The present building, of Renaissance style, was \nbuilt in 1881. There have, however, been some additions made \nsince that time. The hospital receives as ward patients children \nbetween two and twelve years of age. It has one hundred beds, \ndivided between medical, surgical and orthopedic services. \nThe out-patient department is attended by a large number of \nambulatory orthopedic cases. Connected with the hospital is \na shop for the manufacture of orthopedic apparatus. At Welles- \nley the hospital has a convalescent home, which is of the great- \nest help in the treatment of its patients. In 1905 the hospital \n\n\n72 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\ntreated 1,534 patients in the wards. \n\nTo this institution may \nbe traced much of the in- \nterest in orthopedics, so \nprominent in Boston me- \ndicine. \n\nAt No. 241 St. Botolph \n\n|1*y _JJ * :Bj« Street, just a block east of \n\nthe Children's Hospital, is \nthe Industrial School for \nCONSERVATORY or MUSIC Crippled and Deformed \n\nChildren. This school was incorporated in 1894, \"to promote \nthe education and special training of crippled and deformed \nchildren.\" Its present building, completed in 1904, will be able \nto accommodate ultimately about one hundred and fifty pupils. \nChildren under fifteen are taught the usual branches as in \nprimary and grammar schools, together with manual training \nadapted to these grades. Those over fifteen are taught typeset- \nting, printing, cane-seating, basketwork and needlework. \nWhen proficient, they receive pay. Most of the smaller children \nare brought to and from the school in carriages, and are given \ntheir dinners. There is a nurse to look after dressings, adjust \napparatus, and care for the children. \n\nOn the corner of Gainsborough Street and Huntington Ave- \nnue is the New England Conservatory of Music, founded in 1870. \nThis is the largest and most important music school in the \ncountry. It has courses in the science and art of music in all its \nbranches. By a recent arrangement with Harvard University, \nstudents of either institution may take certain courses at the \nother, an arrangement ad- \nvantageous to both. In \nJordan Hall, the Concert \nRoom, is the great organ, \nformerly in the old Boston \nMusic Hall, in Hamilton \nPlace. Jordan Hall, the j| \nchief auditorium in the TUFTS COLLEGE MEDICAL SCHOOL \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 73 \n\nConservatory, is entered from Gainsborough Street. \n\nBeyond the Conservatory, on the same side of Huntington \nAvenue, we come to the baseball grounds of the American \nLeague. A little farther along is the \n\nTUFTS COLLEGE MEDICAL SCHOOL \n\nBy vote of the Trustees of Tufts College the Tufts College Me- \ndical School was established in Boston, August 28, 1893. The \nobject of the school was to provide a \"practical and thorough \nmedical education for persons of both sexes upon equal terms.\" \nThe school at first was located in a building belonging to \nthe College at No. 188 Boylston Street. These quarters were \nspeedily outgrown and the Chauncey Hall School building, in \nCopley Square, was leased while the building on the corner of \nRutland Street and Shawmut Avenue was prepared for its per- \nmanent location. In 1 897 the school was transferred to Rutland \nStreet and Shawmut Avenue. The quarters for the school having \nbecome again outgrown and the Boston Dental College having \nbecome an incorporate part of Tufts College, it was found neces- \nsary to provide still larger quarters for the rapidly increasing \nnumber of students. The present building, on the corner of \nHuntington Avenue and Bryant Street, was accordingly con- \nstructed, and has been the home of the Medical and Dental \nschools since the opening of the session of 1901-2. \n\nThe school offers a four-years' graded course in all the \nbranches of the study of medicine. Its laboratory facilities are \nample. Instruction is given by means of lectures, demonstra- \ntions, laboratory exercises, and clinics. There are twenty-four \nprofessors, one associate professor, six assistant professors, two \ndemonstrators, one clinical lecturer, thirty instructors, seven \nassistant demonstrators and nineteen assistants. There are \ntwenty student laboratory assistants. In the present session \n380 students are enrolled as follows: Fourth year, 81; third \nyear, 68; second year, 99; first year, 103; special students, 27; \ngraduates, 2. Students of this school are admitted to the am- \nphitheatres of the Massachusetts General and City hospitals. \nClinics are held at the Boston City Hospital, the Massachu- \n\n\n74 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nsetts Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, the Carney Hospital, \nthe Cambridge Hospital, the Free Hospital for Women, the \nWoman's Charity Club Hospital, the Boston Dispensary, the \nTremont Dispensary, the House of the Good Samaritan, \nSt. Mary's Infant Asylum, St. Elizabeth's Hospital, the Free \nHome for Consumptives, and numerous asylums and other in- \nstitutions. \n\nBeyond the Fens one comes, on the right, to Longwood Ave- \nnue, on which are the new buildings of the \n\nHARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL \n\nThe Harvard Medical School was the third medical school to \nbe founded in the United States, being antedated by the Uni- \nversity of Pennsylvania Medical School, founded in 1765, and \nthe short-lived New York Medical School, founded in 176'8. \n\nThe school may be said to owe its origin to the bequest of \nDr. Ezekiel Hersey to Harvard College in the year 1770 of the \nsum of <£ 1,000, to be used \"for a Professorship of Anatomy, \nand for that use only.\" Dr. Hersey was a plain country doctor, \nwith a practice in Hingham and the surrounding towns. He had \ngraduated from Harvard and had studied medicine in Boston \nunder a preceptor, as the custom of those days was. He felt \nthe need of a medical school, and resolved to do what he \ncould toward establishing one. \n\nThe Revolution delayed the beginning of the school, but \nbrought to it, when once it was started, the results of the ex- \nperience gained in the military hospitals, and in the contact \nwith the medical men trained in the best schools of the mother \ncountry. \n\nThe history of the school may be divided, conveniently, into \nfour periods, for with every change of location came important \nalterations in the personnel of the teaching force, in policies, \nand in the clinical opportunities afforded the students. \n\nFirst (1782-1 81 6), its life in Cambridge, and in its temporary \nquarters on old Marlborough Street, in Boston. \n\nSecond (1816-1847), the time that it occupied the Massa- \nchusetts Medical College building on Mason Street. \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 75 \n\nThird (1847-1883), its occupancy of the building on North \nGrove Street. \n\nFourth (1883-1906), the twenty-three years during which \nits home has been on Boylston Street. \n\nA fifth and a far greater period is now at hand, — the be- \nginning of a medical university, surpassing in equipment and \nbeauty any in the world. It remains for the future to show what \nthis is to mean to the cause of medical education. \n\nDr. John Warren, surgeon in the Continental Army and an \nactive physician, had given a successful series of lectures on \nAnatomy in Boston in 1780 and 1781, and was invited to re- \npeat them in Cambridge. This he did, and at the request of \nthe College drew up articles to govern the Department of \nMedicine to be formed in connection with Harvard College. He \nwas chosen to the chair of Anatomy and Surgery in 1782, and \na month later Benjamin Water- \nhouse, a Boston practitioner, \nformerly of Newport, was \nelected Professor of the Theory \nand Practice of Physic. The \nfollowing year Aaron Dexter, a \nBoston apothecary, was made \nProfessor of Materia Medica. \nThese three composed the \nteaching force during the early \nyears of the school. Dr. Holmes \nthus describes Dr. Water- \nhouse as he appeared during • \nhis later life in Cambridge: \"A \nbrisk, dapper old gentleman, HOLDEN CHAPEL m CAMBRIDGE \nwith hair tied in a ribbon behind, and, I think, powdered, \nmarching smartly about with his gold-headed cane, with a \nlook of questioning sagacity and an utterance of oracular gra- \nvity. The good people of Cambridge listened to his learned \ntalk when they were well, and sent for one of the other two \ndoctors when they were sick.\" \n\nThe instruction consisted at first mainly of lectures, which \n\n\n76 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nwere given in Harvard Hall and Holden Chapel in the College \ngrounds at Cambridge. Dissecting material was hard to pro- \ncure. The first degrees were conferred in 1788 and were those \nof Bachelors of Medicine, the first Doctors of Medicine being \ngraduated in 1811. \n\nWard Nicholas Boylston laid the foundation of the Boylston \nMedical Library by giving to the school in 1800 about eleven \nhundred volumes of selected authors, — a great help to thestrug- \ngling school. Attempts to secure clinical advantages in Cam- \nbridge proving fruitless, arrangements were made, in 1 8 1 0, for a \ncourse of clinical lectures at the almshouse on Leverett Street, \nin Boston, and a Professor of Clinical Medicine was appointed \nin the person of James Jackson. Two years later he succeeded \nDr. Waterhouse as Professor of Theory and Practice, and held \nboth positions for several years. The professors were paid, for \nthe most part, by the fees received from their pupils. \n\nThe home of the school in Boston was at first in rooms over \nWhite's apothecary shop, on the site of the clothing store of \nMacullar, Parker Company, at what is now No. 400 Washington \nStreet, between School and Summer streets. \n\nThe number of medical students in 1814 was one hundred \nand twenty, of which fifty were at the school in Boston and \nseventy in Cambridge. Communication between Boston and \nCambridge was by ferry to Charlestown and a long journey over \nthe road. Many were the subterfuges resorted to in order to \nget material for dissection. Popular prejudice was strong \nagainst anatomical study, and \"body snatching\" alone pro- \nduced practical results. The good physician of those days had \nto possess many sorts of fortitude, — he must brave the terrors \nof the law to round out his education, and keep a steady hand \nwhile operating on conscious and suffering humanity. \n\nThe anatomical dissections were made in the rooms over \nWhite's apothecary shop, and the clinical facilities were fur- \nnished by the almshouse, the Marine Hospital (1808) at Charles- \ntown, the Boston Dispensary (1801), and the State Prison at \nCharlestown. For many years the lectures in chemistry were \ndelivered at Cambridge. \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON \n\n\n77 \n\n\nDr. John Warren died in 1815, and was succeeded in the \nchair of Anatomy and Surgery by his son, John Collins War- \nren. In this same year Jacob Bigelow was Lecturer in Materia \nMedica and Botany, and Walter Channing in Midwifery, so \nthat when the school moved into its new building on Mason \nStreet, — the Massachusetts Medical College, as it was called in \n18 16, — the teaching force had materially changed, and con- \nsisted of J. C. Warren in Anatomy and Surgery ; James Jackson, in \nTheory and Practice ; Jacob Bigelow in Materia Medica; Walter \nChanning in Midwifery, and John Gorham, who had succeeded \nDexter, in Chemistry. Dr. Gorham was one of the founders \nof the New England Medical Journal (1812), the forerunner of \nthe Boston Medical and SurgicalJournal (1828). Dr. J. C. Warren \nwas Professor of \nAnatomy and \nSurgery dur- \ning the years \nthe school re- \nmained on Ma- \nson St. He was \ninstrumental in \ngetting the le- \ngislative grant \nwith which the \nMason Street \n\nbuilding was MASSACHUSETTS MEDICAL COLLEGE, MASON STREET, BOSTON, \n\nerected, and he l8'S- \n\nhelped raise the sum of $150,000 which was used to build the \nMassachusetts General Hospital. He was selected as visiting \nsurgeon to the hospital when it was opened in 1821, and per- \nformed there the first operation under ether anaesthesia, in Oc- \ntober, 1846. He was the third president of the American Medi- \ncal Association. \n\nThe first regular medical faculty was organized November 1, \n18 16, and consisted of Drs. Jackson, Warren, Gorham, Bigelow \nand Channing. A library and a museum were established in the \nnew school. The number of students in 1818 was fifty-eight, and \n\n\n78 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nthe course of lectures was three months. \n\nWhen the Massachusetts General Hospital was completed, \nit was used to provide clinical material for the students. John \nWare succeeded James Jackson as Hersey Professor of the \nTheory and Practice of Physic in 1836, and John White Web- \nster succeeded Dr. Gorham in 1827. \n\nIn 1831 the Medical School was organized as a distinct de- \npartment, with its own dean, and with complete local self-gov- \nernment, maintaining its own receipts and expenditures, and \nit remained in this anomalous condition until President Eliot \ntook charge of the University in 1870. Then a new regime \nbegan, and dating from this time the president was instru- \nmental in developing the school as an integral part of the \nUniversity. \n\nIn 1 846 George Parkman presented the growing school with \na lot of land on North Grove Street, close to the Massachu- \nsetts General Hospital,and a new building was erected thereon. \nThe Parkman Professorship of Anatomy and Physiology was \ncreated by the President and Fellows of Harvard College in \n1847, and Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes was elected to fill this \noffice. At the same time Dr. J. B. S. Jackson was created Pro- \nfessor of Pathological Anatomy. This was the year of the or- \nganization of the American Medical Association. \n\nIn 1849 Dr. Henry J. Bigelow succeeded Dr. Hayward, who \nhad followed Dr. Warren in the chair of Surgery. \n\nThe Warren museum of anatomical preparations, collected \nby Dr. John C. Warren abroad and in this country, was given \nto the school on the completion of the new building, and was \nthe basis of the present Warren Anatomical Museum, containing \nabout nine thousand specimens, illustrating both normal and \npathological anatomy and materia medica. \n\nAt this time the different clinical facilities were furnished by \nthe Massachusetts General Hospital, close at hand ; by the Mas- \nsachusetts Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary (1824), which moved \ninto a new building on Charles Street in 1850; by the Perkins \nInstitution for the Blind (1829) in South Boston, and by the Bos- \nton Lying-in Hospital (\\ 832) on McLean Street. It was at this hos- \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 79 \n\npital that Dr. O. W. Holmes made the study of puerperal sep- \nticaemia, on which he founded his famous thesis which revolu- \ntionized the practice of obstetrics. Clinical teaching in mental \ndiseases was conducted at the Asylum for the Insane at Danvers \nand at the Boston Insane Hospital. \n\nThe clinical advantages of the school were increased by the \nfounding of the House of the Good Samaritan in I860, and by \nthe building of the Boston City Hospital in 1 864. The Children's \nHospital, founded in 1 869, opened its doors to the students of \nthe school in 1882, and the Free Hospital for Women (1875) \nat about this time. In later years the students have had clini- \ncal facilities afforded them at the Infants' Hospital, the Long \nIsland Hospital for chronic diseases in Boston Harbor, and the \nCarney Hospital. At the present time the clinical facilities are \nprobably greater than in any medical school in the country. \nIt is hoped that the members of the American Medical Associ- \nation will inspect the many hospitals of the city. The intro- \nduction of the use of ether anaesthesia in surgical practice in \n1846 (see Massachusetts General Hospital) produced a revo- \nlution in surgical methods, and inaugurated a new era in \nmedicine. \n\nIn 1849 occurred the notorious Parkman murder in the \nMedical School building. George Parkman, the donor of the \nland on which the school was built, went to the school one \nday in November to collect a debt from Dr. John W. Webster, \nthe Professor of Chemistry. He was seen to enter the building \nat 1.45 p.m., and was never seen again alive. No trace of him \nwas found until a week later, when a pelvis, a right thigh and \na left leg were found in a privy connected with Webster's pri- \nvate laboratory. In the laboratory furnace were found many \nbones, and the block of mineral teeth and the gold filling \nwhich served to identify the remains as those of Parkman. \nWebster was arrested, and finally confessed that Parkman had \ntaunted him on the nonpayment of his debt, that he had killed \nhim in a fit of anger by hitting him on the head with a stick \nof wood, and then disposed of the body to hide his guilt. The \ntrial made a profound sensation in Boston, because of the high \n\n\n80 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nsocial and professional standing of both parties. Webster was \nhanged August 30., 1850. \n\nAmong the eminent men connected with the school while \nit was on North Grove Street were G. C. Shattuck, Professor \nof Clinical Medicine, and also of Theory and Practice; Jacob \nBigelow, Professor of Materia Medica; Jeffries Wyman, Her- \nsey Professor of Anatomy ; David Humphreys Storer, Professor \nof Obstetrics ; Henry J. Bigelow, Professor of Surgery; Charles \nW. Eliot, later president of the college, Lecturer in Chemistry ; \nMorrill Wyman, Professor of Theory and Practice; Henry I. \nBowditch, Jackson Professor of Clinical Medicine, and Calvin \nEllis, Professor of Clinical Medicine. Dr. Oliver Wendell \nHolmes gave his last lecture in Anatomy in the North Grove \nStreet building in 1882. \n\nAs before, whenever the school had progressed to the point \nwhere larger and better facilities were needed, the younger \nand more progressive men came to the fore, the older men re- \ntired, and there were changes in the teaching force. The need \nof a school building located in a more respectable part of the \ncity was felt as early as 1874, the neighborhood of North Grove \nStreet having deteriorated very markedly. Dr. Holmes ima- \ngined a graduate of a well-ordered medical institution in Europe \nexclaiming on seeing the school, \"O star-eyed Science! hast \nthou wandered there!\" \n\nA public meeting was held in 1874, and a committee ap- \npointed to raise funds. It was not until the fall of 1883, one \nhundred years after the founding of the school, that the Har- \nvard Medical School moved into its new building on Boylston \nStreet. The building cost, with the land, $321,415, and was \nthought at the time to be admirably suited to the needs of the \ninstitution for many years to come. \n\nA four-years' course of study was made optional in 1879-80, \nbefore moving to Boylston Street. In 1 892 it was made obliga- \ntory, with most beneficial results, the number of students not \nfalling off to any appreciable extent. In 1893 the teaching staff \nconsisted of eighty-six men, exclusive of those connected with \nthe Summer School. The opening of the Sears Pathological \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON \n\n\n81 \n\n\nLaboratory at the school, and the pathological laboratories at \nthe Massachusetts General and City hospitals, greatly enlarged \nthe facilities for instruction. The Graduate School was developed, \nand opportunities offered for men to become investigators or \nspecialists of the highest type. A degree in Arts or Science \n\n\nHARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL, 1883-1906 \n\nwas required for admission to the school after 1902, Harvard \nbeing the pioneer in this respect, as she was the second medi- \ncal school in the country to require a four-years' course of study. \nIn 1904-5, of the 307 students in the school, 267, or 87 per cent, \nwere holders of the preliminary degree of A.B or S.B. \n\nBeginning with the year 1899-1900 a new arrangement of \nthe subjects taught in the first two years was adopted. During \nthe first half of the first year the students devote their time \nsolely to Anatomy and Histology, and during the second half \nof the first year to Physiology and Physiological and Pathologi- \ncal Chemistry. They devote the first half of the second year to \nPathology and Bacteriology, and the remainder of the second \nyear to a variety of subjects which more particularly prepare \nthe student for the clinical work of the third and fourth years. \n\nExperience has shown that this logical arrangement of the \n\n\n82 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nsubjects of the first two years enables a student to concentrate \nhis energies to a much greater advantage than he can when \nhis attention is divided among several subjects. Each corre- \nlated group presents sufficient variety to avoid monotony. An- \nother advantage of this method is that it greatly increases the \namount of time which can be devoted to each subject. \n\nIn 1902 certain other changes in the curriculum were adopted, \nto take effect with the class entering in the autumn of that \nyear. The new course of study is so arranged that the first \nthree years are devoted to prescribed work, and the fourth \nyear entirely to elective courses. A minimum of one thou- \nsand hours' work will be required of each fourth-year stu- \ndent; and courses will be offered adapted to the student who \nwishes to fit himself to be a general practitioner, and also suita- \nble courses for those who intend to become specialists or teach- \ners in any department of medicine. The new elective curricu- \nlum of the fourth year began in the autumn of 1 905. \n\nWhen the school moved to Boylston Street, it separated it- \nself from a near-by hospital, and since this time the clinical \nfacilities, although most ample, have been spread about in \nmany hospitals at a considerable distance from the school \nbuilding. All this is to be changed at the Longwood Avenue \nlocation, and the great need of medical education is to be met \nby a conjunction of laboratories with clinical advantages. The \npresent faculty of medicine consists of thirty-four members, and \nin addition there are one hundred and eight instructors, lectur- \ners, and assistants. The graduate department provides 133 dif- \nferent courses, and last summer there were given 1 23 courses \nin the Summer School to 173 students. There are at present in \nthe school 333 students, divided as follows : courses for gradu- \nates, 6l ; fourth class, 66; third class, 55; second class, 72; first \nclass, 79- \n\nTHE NEW SCHOOL ON LONGWOOD AVENUE \n\nThe scheme for the expansion and development of the medi- \ncal school was conceived several years ago, and owes its suc- \ncess in a large measure to the untiring efforts of Henry P. \n\n\nrw l*m \n\nnr»r:i \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 83 \n\nBowditch and J. Collins Warren, who educated the members \nof the medical profession to demand, and the public to pro- \nvide, the means for the accomplishment of this object, so \nfraught with promise to the cause of medical education. \n\nIn 1900 a Committee of the Faculty of the Medical School \nsecured a parcel of land on Longwood Avenue, on the outskirts \nof Boston, near the Brookline line, as the site for the new medi- \ncal school. The land was held in trust by twenty public-spirited \ncitizens of Boston and vicinity, who subscribed $565,000 for \nthe purpose. \n\nProvisional plans for five buildings were made by Shepley, \nRutan and Coolidge, architects, and in March, 1901, Henry P. \nBowditch and J. Collins Warren submitted the plans to \nJ. Pierpont Morgan. He agreed to erect the central administra- \ntion pavilion and two others, in memory of his father, Junius \nSpencer Morgan. Through W. B. Coley, of New York, an alum- \nnus of the school, John D. Rockefeller was interested in the \nproject. He sent an expert to make a thorough inquiry of the \nfinancial situation and the prospects for the future. As a result \nof a most exhaustive report, it appeared that it would require \n$4,950,000 to buy land for the medical school and erect the \nfive proposed buildings, and provide a sufficient endowment, \nand that of this sum the Corporation of Harvard University \nhad $3,185,000, including $1,135,000 pledged by J. P. Morgan. \nMr. Rockefeller agreed to give $1,000,000, applicable to build- \ning or to endowment, provided that the balance of $765,000 \nwas procured from other sources before Commencement Day \nin 1902. By April 1, 1902, Drs. Warren and Bowditch had ga- \nthered subscriptions from sixty-nine different donors, to the \namount of $821,725, and the success of the undertaking was \nassured. The largest individual subscription, obtained through \nW. B. Coley, was that of $250,000, by Mrs. Collis P. Huntington, \nof New York, to be devoted to the Pathological and Bacterio- \nlogical Laboratory. \n\nArrangements were made with several hospitals whereby a \nportion of the land not needed for the medical school should \nbe reserved for the erection of hospitals, to be managed in \n\n\n84 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nconjunction with the school. \n\nFurther bequests have been received by the Corporation \nsince the guarantee fund was made up, and still others will be \nwelcome. One hospital, the House of the Good Samaritan, is \nalready erected, and in active operation at the new location, \nand it is planned to have in the near future ample clinical fa- \ncilities close at hand to the school, making it a medical uni- \nversity and the greatest medical centre in the world. \n\nThe present House of the Good Samaritan, on Binney Street, \noffLongwood Avenue, is the outcome of a work started by Miss \nAnnie Smith Robbins in I860. She at that time opened the \nhouse at the corner of McLean and Chambers streets, for the \ncare of women suffering from chronic diseases. The house had \na capacity of twelve patients. Later an orthopedic department \nwas added. The work was carried on under the direction of the \nfounder, who lived in the house until the time of her death, \nin 1 899- After the death of Miss Robbins, the board of trustees, \nher relatives and friends raised the money for the present model \nhospital, which was first occupied in July, 1905. \n\nThe present building has forty beds, twelve of which are \n\northopedic, the \nrest medical. The \nmedical side di- \nvides its beds \nabout equally be- \ntween patients \nwith phthisis and \nthose suffering \n\nPhoto, by Dr. M. D. Miller With Other chrO- \n\nHOUSE OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN mc diseases< The \n\ninstitution is the first example in this community of a hospital \nfor the treatment of chronic diseases, it being in every respect \na hospital and not a home. \n\nThe present building, besides having wards, operating rooms, \nlaboratory and administration offices that illustrate the most \nmodern ideas in hospital construction, has a sun parlor and \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 85 \n\nbalconies on each floor. The beds can be wheeled from the \nwards to these balconies, and the patients spend a good deal of \nthe day here. Such patients as it is desirable to have do so sleep \non the balconies. \n\nIn the basement of the building is located the out-patient \ndepartment, also a hydrotherapeutic room. The out-patient de- \npartment has recently taken up the care of tuberculosis pa- \ntients, who come to the hospital each morning and spend the \nday there, undergoing the open-air treatment. These patients \nare given dinners, besides lunches on their arrival and depar- \nture. A nurse visits them in their homes, and advises and assists \nthem as to the best manner of applying the principles of the \nopen-air treatment during the time they are at home. \n\n\nTHE WEST END \n\nTHE so-called West End of Boston is a curious and \ninteresting composite of slums, shabby-genteel, and \nlingering aristocracy. In places it retains more than \nany other part thegenuine old Boston atmosphere. To the mem- \nbers of the American Medical Association it is of especial in- \nterest, containing, as it does, the Massachusetts General Hospital, \nthe Boston Lying-in Hospital,the Infants'1 Hospital, the Massachu- \nsetts Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary, St. Margaret's Hospital, \nthe Charming Home and the Vincent Memorial Hospital. \n\nThe West End is bounded roughly on the north by Lever- \nett Street, on the south by Beacon Street and the Common, \non the west by Charles Street and the Charles River, and on \nthe east by Somerset Street and Bowdoin Square. \n\nStarting at the archway of the State House over Mt. Vernon \nStreet one finds himself at the corner of Hancock Street, on \nwhich are situated many of Boston's once fashionable resi- \ndences. Walking westward along Mt. Vernon Street, one comes \nto Joy Street. Descending on the right we come to Cambridge \nStreet, and crossing it continue straight on through Chambers \nStreet. On the left, at No. 44, in two inconspicuous houses, is \nthe Vincent Memorial Hospital. This institution was incorporated \nin 1890, in memory of Mrs. J. R. Vincent, an actress and \nmember of the old Boston Museum Stock Company. The \nphysicians of the Trinity Dispensary, connected Avith St. An- \ndrew's Church, at No. 38 Chambers Street, seeing that the use- \nfulness of their dispensary could be increased if they had some \nhospital beds at their disposal, made a plea for such a gift. The \nmoney was raised by private and public subscription, and the \npresent buildings purchased. Women patients only are treated, \nand the hospital staff consists entirely of women. \n\nOne now continues along Chambers Street and comes to \nMcLean Street, on the left. At this corner stands the build- \ning used until recently as the House of the Good Samaritan, \nat present established in a fine new building in an attractive \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON \n\n\n87 \n\n\npart of the city. The visitor may diverge from the route by turn- \ning down Green Street, on the right, to Bowdoin Square. Here \nstands the Revere \nHouse, one of Bos- \nton's old-time hos- \ntelries which still \nmaintains an air of \nrespectability. It has \nhad the distinction \nof entertaining Presi- \ndent Fillmore, Jenny \nLind, the singer, the \nPrince of Wales, and \nthe Grand Duke Al- \nexis of Russia. A \nnewly constructed \n\"Grotto\" will appeal \nto the tired sight- \nseer. \n\nReturning to Mc- \nLean Street, on the \nleft stands the Boston Lying-in Hospital. This was organized \nin 1832 for the care of poor and deserving women during \nconfinement. After several changes in location and mode of \nadministration, the trustees established the institution in its \npresent quarters. In 1 890 the hospital was enlarged to the pro- \nportions in which we find it by the purchase of adjoining \nhouses, and about sixty patients can now be accommodated. In \n1881 an out-patient department was established with a branch \nin the South End, now at No. 174 Harrison Avenue, at the foot \nof Bennet Street. In this department women are confined at \ntheir homes. Students from the third and fourth year classes \nat the Harvard Medical School do this work, under experienced \nsupervision, and in this way get the training in obstetrics re- \nquired for their degree. In 1889 the hospital opened a training \nschool for nurses. The hospital treats annually about seven hun- \ndred in-patients and two thousand out-patients. \n\n\nBOSTON LYING-IN HOSPITAL \n\n\n88 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nA few doors beyond, at No. 30, is the Charming Home. This \nwas established in May, 1857, by Miss Harriet Ryan, the late \nMrs. John Albee, the present building being opened May 1, \n1870. This is not a hospital in the ordinary sense of the word, \nbut a home for incurables. The institution has accommodations \nfor fourteen inmates, women and girls only being admitted. \n\nLeaving the Channing Home and walking on to Blossom \nStreet, one finds himself at the main entrance of the Massa- \nchusetts General Hospital. Before inspecting this hospital, the \nvisitor may care to stop for a moment at the Infants' Hos- \npital, of which the full name is the Thomas Morgan Rotch, Jr., \nMemorial Hospital for Infants. This was incorporated in 1881, \nand receives as in-patients children up to two years of age \nonly. In the out-patient department, however, children up to \ntwelve years of age are treated. Contagious diseases, includ- \ning syphilis, are not admitted. There are twenty-four beds, of \nwhich six are surgical and eighteen medical. In connection \nwith the hospital there is a post-graduate training school for \nnurses. Courses of instruction to nursemaids are given here. \nIn 1 905, 206 cases were admitted to the medical ward, and 6'5 \nto the surgical ward, — a total of 271. In the out-patient depart- \nment a total of 2,711 new cases were treated during 1905. \nAfter July 1 the hospital closes, and its work is taken up dur- \ning the summer months by the Boston Floating Hospital (see \npage 1 1 0). Returning now to the \n\nMASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL \n\nthe visitor will want to spend some time in this famous institu- \ntion. With the exception of the Pennsylvania Hospital, it is the \noldest hospital in the country. It undoubtedly owes its exist- \nence to Dr. J. C. Warren, the first Professor of Anatomy and \nSurgery at the Harvard Medical School, and to Dr. James \nJackson, whose life has just been written in a most charming \nmanner by his grandson, Dr. James Jackson Putnam. Drs. \nWarren and Jackson together succeeded in raising the re- \nquisite funds for the enterprise, and the hospital was incor- \nporated February 25, 1811, and opened to patients Septem- \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 89 \n\nber 3, 1821. During the first year of its existence it received \nsubstantial aid from the State, but with this exception it has \nbeen wholly supported by voluntary contributions from the \ncitizens of Boston and its neighborhood. \n\nDuring the first three weeks of its existence only one pa- \ntient is said to have applied for treatment, and at the end of \nthe first year there were but twelve patients in the wards. It \ngrew rapidly in size, however, and now can accommodate \nabout three hundred patients. In 1905 the daily number of \npatients averaged 277, and about 3,200 operations were per- \nformed; 1,997 medical cases and 3,099 surgical cases were \ntreated. In the out-patient department 21,874 new cases were \n\n\nMASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL, 1831 \n\ntreated in 1905, this number including medical, surgical, or- \nthopedic, genito-urinary, skin, nervous, nose and throat, and \nchildren's diseases. Patients suffering from medical or surgical \ndiseases are received from any part of the United States or \nthe Provinces. Chronic and incurable cases are, as a rule, re- \nfused admission, and no contagious or confinement cases are \nadmitted. There are three surgical and two medical services. \nThe original building, made of Chelmsford granite, was de- \n\n\n90 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nsigned by Charles Bulfinch, the architect of the new State \nHouse. When completed, in 1821, it was considered the finest \nedifice in New England. In 1846 two new wings were added. \n\nThe year of 1846 is especially notable from the fact that \non October 16 thejirst public demonstration of ether as a general \nanaesthetic was given by Dr. W. T. G. Morton in the little \namphitheatre under the dome. \n\nThe history of ether is most interesting. Previous to 1 846 it \nwas regarded rather as a chemical curiosity, although for many \nyears it had been known that ether, when inhaled, produced \ninsensibility, and many are the amusing experiences and in- \nteresting experiments recounted; but to Dr. W. T. G. Mor- \nton, a prominent Boston dentist, its introduction to the world \nas a certain and safe anaesthetic is undoubtedly due. No words \ncan express the value to mankind of this discovery. The story \nof ether is, briefly, as follows : * \n\nAfter innumerable experiments and disheartening failures, \nDr. Morton became convinced that proper publicity for the \nnew discovery could be attained only through the agency of \nsome leading surgeon, by the performance of an impressive \noperation in the presence of numerous spectators. The Massa- \nchusetts General Hospital, the sole hospital in Boston at that \ntime, naturally suggested itself as a desirable place for such \nan exhibition. Accordingly, Dr. Morton called upon Dr. John \nC. Warren, one of the surgeons of the hospital, and told him \nthat he had discovered something which would prevent pain \nduring a surgical operation. He did not say what it was, but \nbegged for an opportunity to employ it in some case in which \nDr. Warren might be the operator. Dr. Warren, having had a \ngeneral acquaintance with Dr. Morton for a year or two before \nthis time, listened to this communication as to one of impor- \ntance and magnitude, and promised, although at the moment \nunable to comply with the request, to do so on the first occa- \nsion which offered. The hospital at this time was in a flourish- \ning condition, and included in its staff many noted physicians. \n\n* For this history of the introduction of ether the writer has made extensive \nuse of Dr. R. M. Hodges 's \" The Introduction of Sulphuric Ether.\" \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 91 \n\nThe medical staff consisted of Jacob Bigelow, Enoch Hale, \nJohn B. S. Jackson, Henry I. Bowditch, John D. Fisher and \nOliver Wendell Holmes. The surgical staff was made up of \nJohn C. Warren, George Hayward, Solomon D. Townsend, \nHenry J. Bigelow, J. Mason Warren and Samuel Parkman. \nIt is worthy of note that from 1871 until February 1, 1905, \nthe name of Warren — father, son and grandson — has been \nenrolled on the surgical staff of the Massachusetts General \nHospital. The retirement of the present Dr. J. Collins Warren \non the latter date removes for the first time this illustrious \nname from the roll. \n\nOn the morning of October 13, 1846, a young man named \nGilbert Abbott, twenty years old, was brought into the oper- \nating theatre of the hospital to undergo an operation for the \nremoval of a congenital, but superficial, vascular tumor, just \nbelow the jaw on the left side of the neck. Arrangements for \nits performance having been completed, Dr. J. C. Warren was \nabout to begin when he paused, and said: \"I now recollect \nthat I promised Dr. Morton to give him the earliest oppor- \ntunity of trying a mode for preventing pain in surgical opera- \ntions ; and if the patient consents, I shall defer this operation \nto another day, and invite Dr. Morton to administer his pre- \nparation.\" The patient naturally approved of this proposal. The \noperation was postponed to the following Friday, October 1 6. \nAt the hospital on this Friday morning Dr. Warren having \nwaited ten or fifteen minutes turned to those present and \nsaid: \"As Dr. Morton has not yet arrived, I presume he is \notherwise engaged\" — apparently conveying the idea that \nMorton did not intend to appear. This remark created a laugh. \nDr. Warren then sat down by his patient. Just as he raised \nhis knife to begin, Dr. Morton entered with his inhaler, an \napparatus on which he had spent no end of labor and ingenu- \nity. Having completed his preparations, Morton proceeded to \nadminister his compound. \"Are you afraid?\" he said to the \npatient. \"No,\" replied the young man, \"I feel confident, and \nwill do precisely as you tell me.\" The spectators (see the cut on \nthe opposite page, which gives a good view of the persons pre- \n\n\n92 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nsent, and of the little amphitheatre as it was on that day) looked \non incredulously, especially as the patient at first became ex- \nhilarated, but suddenly, when his unconsciousness was evi- \ndent, there was a start of surprise. Dr. Morton then calmly \ninformed Dr. Warren that hi^ patient was ready. As the opera- \ntion progressed, the utmost silence prevailed. Every eye was \nfixed upon the novel scene in eager expectancy and amaze- \nment. During the later part of the operation, the patient was \nsufficiently conscious \"to move his limbs and to utter extraor- \ndinary expressions, and these movements seemed to indicate \nthe existence of pain, but after he had recovered his faculties \nhe said he had experienced none, but only a sensation like that \nof scraping the part with a blunt instrument.\" This somewhat \nimperfect insensibility arose from the fact that as the opera- \ntion had taken longer than was anticipated, Morton had several \ntimes removed the inhaler from the young man's mouth. While \nthe patient was still lying on the table, Dr. Warren turned to \nthe audience and said slowly and emphatically, \"Gentlemen, \nthis is no humbug.\" He then remarked that a satisfactory test \nof the preparation could be made only by repeated trials, and \nended by asking Dr. Morton to come to the hospital and ad- \nminister it again on the following day. This first operation oc- \ncupied about five minutes. It was certainly incomplete as a \ndemonstration, — there were manifest signs of consciousness \nduring the dissection, which was not, perhaps, of the most \npainful description. A powerful drug, or even the imagination, \nas it was said, might have been an adequate agency in produ- \ncing the phenomena observed. Dr. J. C. Warren himself said it \nshould be placed in the class of cases of imperfect etherization. \nThe impression made upon the observers was, nevertheless, \nprofound enough for Dr. Henry J. Bigelow to say to a physi- \ncian whom he met as he left the hospital, \" I have seen some- \nthing to-day which will go around the world.\" He lived to see \nthis remark prove true. \n\nThe discretion and moral courage which were instrumental \nin permitting the introduction of a disguised and only partially \nknown anodyne into the Massachusetts General Hospital \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 93 \n\nshould not be forgotten or passed by without mention. Even \nthose who looked with no friendly eye on the attitude of Bos- \nton in this matter candidly asserted that to the surgeons of \nthis hospital the world owes the immediate adoption of the \nanaesthesia of surgery. \n\nAlthough all responsibility for the act rested absolutely with \nthe surgeons, the trustees of that institution, — a board of \ntwelve gentlemen of the highest consideration in this commu- \nnity,— impressed by the beneficent and humane aspects of the \nsituation, cooperated in every way to promote its acceptance. \nThey awarded the right of discovery to Dr. Morton, and they \nbefriended him personally, although he was a stranger to all of \nthem. None of them were physicians or engaged in similar pur- \nsuits, but they took no narrow-minded or superficial view of \nthe all-absorbing event. The active part they bore, under the \nlead of Mr. Nathaniel Ingersoll Bowditch, in the discussions \nand inquiries of the time, contributed greatly to the favorable \nreception of anaesthesia, and to its prompt adoption in this \ncommunity and elsewhere. \n\nAs one enters the hospital grounds he sees to the left a small \nbrick building, used until recently as an admitting room to the \nold out-patient department, but within the last two or three \nyears fitted up for the use of the two assistant resident physi- \ncians. The brick house on the right, built in 1891, is the home \nof the resident physician, Dr. Herbert B. Howard. \n\nEntering the hospital, one sees to the left the administra- \ntive offices, and to the right a small room where the telephones \nare operated. This room was in early days used as a dispensary \nfor out-patients, and is the birthplace of the present enormous \nout-patient department. Continuing along the corridor, one \nascends the stairs to the Treadwell Library, a quiet, sunny room, \nwith three alcoves and adorned with the portraits and busts of \nthe former trustees and physicians of the hospital. The nucleus \nof this library, a collection of five thousand volumes, many of \nthem large and expensive works not generally found elsewhere, \nwas given by Dr. Treadwell, of Salem. The library contains now \nover six thousand volumes and over three thousand pamphlets, \n\n\n94 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nand subscribes to seventy of the current medical journals. The \nassistant librarian, Mrs. Myers, will gladly explain to visitors the \nvarious excellent card catalogues of cases, and will give any in- \nformation as to details of the administration of a hospital li- \nbrary. On either side of the library, on this floor and on that \nabove, open the old wards ; those in the east wing being medi- \ncal, those in the west wing surgical. \n\nAfter leaving the library, one should ascend two more flights \nof stairs, until he reaches the little amphitheatre under the \ndome. The construction and isolation of this room was planned, \nso it is said, to prex ont, as far as possible, the cries of those \nundergoing operations in pre-anaesthesia days from being \nheard by other patients. The room is much the same as it was \non the day which made it famous, and is now used for clinical \nlectures to nurses and medical students. In the two glass cases \nare preserved the sponges and apparatus first used in giving \nether, together with countless surgical instruments of antique \ndesign used by the early surgeons of the hospital. Over these \ncases hangs a fine oil painting of Dr. John C. Warren, who per- \nformed the first operation in which ether was used. \n\nDescending now to the ground floor, and continuing along \nthe tortuous corridor, one soon comes to a large tiled hallway, \nthrough which one passes to the newer portions of the hos- \npital. Turning sharply to the right, one leaves the building, \ncrosses the driveway and enters- the pathological laboratory. \nThe latter is large and sunny, and complete in all its details. \nIts director, Dr. James H. Wright, or the assistant pathologist, \nDr. Oscar Richardson, will show to visiting physicians the dif- \nferent rooms of the pathological laboratory, the animal room, \nthe chemical laboratory, the morgue and the autopsy room. \nThe laboratories were established in 1896, while the morgue \nand autopsy rooms — together known as \"The Allen Street \nHouse\" — date from 1875. \n\nIn this same building is the engine and dynamo room, from \nwhich all the heating and lighting is furnished, not only to the \nhospital, but also to the Massachusetts Charitable Eye and Ear \nInfirmary. \n\n\na o \n\n11 \n\n* a \n\n2 > \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 95 \n\nLeaving the laboratory building and returning to the tiled \nhallway, the visitor, if he desires, may inspect the so-called \nService Building, the doors of which open on the right. Herein \nare contained the storerooms for hospital provisions and supplies \nof all sorts; the apothecary department and X-ray room; the \nhouse officers', nurses', orderlies' and servants' dining-rooms, \nand the kitchens and sleeping quarters for the maids. Miss \nClark, the matron, is prepared to conduct visitors through this \nbuilding. \n\nOne now should go down the corridor to the new surgical \namphitheatre, opened in 1901. To the right as one enters, one \nsees the Laboratory of Surgical Pathology, and opposite, two \nrooms used by the house officers and nurses, respectively, in \npreparing themselves for operations. Beyond these are four \nsmaller rooms, three being the etherizing rooms, one for each \nsurgical service, and one being a dark room for cystoscopy and \nthe like. Beyond these there opens a wide marble corridor, out \nof which opens the large main amphitheatre containing a fine \nbronze bust of the late Dr. Henry J. Bigelow, the hospital's \ndeity. Dr. Bigelow' s name is familiar to the profession through- \nout the world for his development of the art of litholapaxy and \nof the instruments for its performance, for his anatomical stud- \nies of the hip joint, and for his method of reduction by mani- \npulation of dislocations of the hip. From this corridor open also \nthe surgeons' consulting and dressing rooms, the separate oper- \nating rooms of the three surgical services and another larger \nroom for septic cases, and an instrument and sterilizing room. \nOn Saturdays the large amphitheatre is open to the public, \nand all operating is done there. On other days operations are \nperformed and may be witnessed in the small operating rooms. \nAfter leaving the Surgical Building, the visitor may care to \ncontinue along the corridor to see the different surgical wards, \nsix in all, built mostly in the '70's. \n\nWard E contains a fine little operating room, where only clean \nabdominal cases are done. Back of this ward may be seen the \nThayer Building, where the nurses, over a hundred in all, are \nquartered. The Training School for Nurses has existed since 1 873, \n\n\n96 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nand offers a three-years' course, embracing practical instruc- \ntion in general, medical and surgical work. \n\nWe will now return to the large hallway which we first en- \ntered, and thence go down the incline to the Accident Ward, \ncomprising a series of rooms, each for special cases, and well \nequipped for its work. The stairway near by leads to hallowed \nprecincts, namely, the house officers' \"flat.\" \n\nJust beyond the stairs on the left is the entrance to the \nZander Room. This occupies the former old Bigelow operating \ntheatre, opened in 1868. The Zander apparatus for medico- \n\n\nZANDER ROOM \nIN THE MASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL \n\nmechanical therapeutics was imported from Sweden, and the \nroom was opened to patients in July, 1904. It is the only one \nof its kind in the city, and one of the few in this country. A \nthorough inspection of its details and possibilities will be \nfound distinctly worth while. Dr. Max Bohm, the director, will \nexplain the apparatus to visitors. \n\nNext to the Zander Room is the Gay Ward, occupying what \nwas formerly the out-patient department. The ward once in- \ncluded the floors above, the latter being now used as orderlies' \nquarters. The Gay Ward is employed as a relief ward when others \nare being renovated. \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 97 \n\nOne now continues on through the corridor, and turns to \nthe right into a long passage. This passage leads to the ward, \nbuilt in 1903, which is set apart for skin, nerve, and nose and \nthroat cases. From this long corridor the visitor now turns off \nto the left and enters the new out-patient building. \n\nThe floor he now is on contains a large amphitheatre for \nclinical lectures to students, the male surgical and medical \nrooms and the genito-urinary rooms, all ample and well adapted \nto their uses. On the floor above are the women's medical and \nsurgical departments, and the rooms for children's diseases. On \nthe third floor are the skin, nerve, nose and throat departments, \nand another amphitheatre for students. The Massachusetts \nGeneral Hospital has never had a gynecological department, \nthe patients afflicted with the diseases of women being treated \nby the medical or surgical services. \n\nAfter a careful inspection of all these different floors one \nshould now descend to the basement, where he will find the \ndesks of the admitting physician and his assistants, the ortho- \npedic department, the out-patient X-ray room and the record \nroom. The latter is a model of its kind, and should be in- \nspected. \n\nThe hospital also maintains a Convalescent Home in the neigh- \nboring town of Waverley. Situated on a hill within the grounds \nof the McLean Hospital, it offers a splendid opportunity for \nthe speedy recovery of patients who have long been confined \nto their beds. The home accommodates about thirty patients, \nand is in charge of a matron, a nurse, and a house officer from \nthe general hospital. \n\nThe McLean Hospital, known until 1892 as the McLean \nAsylum for the Insane, was opened to patients in October, \n1818, and received its name from John McLean, who be- \nqueathed $100,000 to the institution. Its charter is the same \nas that of the Massachusetts General Hospital and it is under \nthe control of the same board of trustees. The annual reports \nof the two institutions are also published together. From its \nfoundation in 1818 to 1895 the McLean Hospital was located \nin the neighboring town of Somerville in imposing buildings, \n\n\n98 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\ndesigned, like those of the General Hospital, by Charles Bulfinch. \nIn 1875 a large tract of land situated on a hill in the town of \nWaverley was purchased for the use of the hospital. The situa- \ntion is one of great beauty,, elevated and salubrious. The \nestate has been added to until now it contains about two \nhundred acres. In 1895 the hospital was moved there from \nSomerville, and comprised eighteen fine buildings. Since then \nseveral additions have been built. The effect of individual \nresidences is gained by choosing sites for these houses at dif- \nferent levels and by adopting for each of them a different \nstyle of architecture. There are accommodations for nearly two \nhundred patients. All kinds of mental diseases are treated, \nthe fine situation, skilled care, and pleasant surroundings con- \ntributing greatly to the chance of recovery. In 1882 a training \nschool for nurses was organized; this is open to men and wo- \nmen, who receive training in general nursing with special re- \nference to the care of mental disease. The course for men is \ntwo years, that for women is two and a half years. \n\nAs one leaves the Massachusetts General Hospital by way of \nthe new out-patient department, he finds himself on Fruit \nStreet, at the head of North Grove Street, where stands the old \nbrick building which from 1846 until 1883 was occupied by \n\n\nMASSACHUSETTS GENERAL HOSPITAL \nAND HARVARD MEDICAL SCHOOL IN 1852 \n\nthe Harvard Medical School, but since then used by the Harvard \nDental School. The Dental School was founded in 1 867 by the \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 99 \n\nPresident and Fellows of Harvard University. Up to 1883 it \noccupied several different quarters in the West End. The \nschool confers the degree of D.M.D. after a three years' \ncourse, of which the first year is the same as that of the med- \nical school. The staff numbers about sixty. Students are in- \nstructed by actual work on patients, of which over six thou- \nsand were treated during 1904-5 at the school infirmary. There \nare ample and well equipped laboratories and lecture rooms. \nIn the near future the school is to occupy larger and better \nquarters on land adjoining that of the new medical school. \nMassachusetts has a Board of Registration in Dentistry, and \nit is necessary to pass an examination by the board before per- \nmission to practise is granted. \n\nThose who are interested may now go down North Grove \nStreet a few steps and inspect the new Morgue, built in 1903. \n\nMedical Examiners. Massachusetts has a system of medical \nexaminers whose duty it is to investigate every case of sup- \nposed death by violence. Well qualified medical men are ap- \npointed by the Governor and Council for the term of seven \nyears. Each county of the State is divided into districts, and \none or more examiners is assigned to each district. Suffolk \nCounty, in which Boston is situated, has two medical exami- \nners and an associate medical examiner. It is the medical ex- \naminer's duty to view every body supposed to have come to a \nviolent death, and if he thinks it necessary to make a further \ninvestigation he makes an autopsy, first having obtained con- \nsent of the district attorney. The North Grove Street Morgue \nis the headquarters of the northern district of Suffolk County, \nand the City Hospital Morgue for the southern district. \n\nThe medical examiner is required to give expert testimony \nin court if there is need, and he has to make an annual re- \nport to the Secretary of the Commonwealth of the records of \nall violent deaths. \n\nIt may interest the visitor to know that the land extending \nfrom the Dental School building and from the westerly end \nof the old building of the Massachusetts General Hospital has \nall been filled in since the Dental School was built. The best \n\n\n100 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nidea of the extent of this new-made land can be had by con- \nsulting the map of old Boston, facing page 2, and the picture \nwhich shows the old Medical School and the Massachusetts \nGeneral Hospital in 1852, on page 98. \n\nReturning from the Morgue to Fruit Street, and turning to \nthe left, one comes beyond the out-patient department of the \nMassachusetts General Hospital to the fine new building of the \nMassachusetts Charitable Eye and Ear Infirmary. This institution \nowes its origin to Dr. Edward Reynolds and Dr. John Jeffries, \nwho, in November, 1824, opened a small dispensary in an- \nother part of the town, for gratuitous treatment of the poor \nafflicted with diseases of the eye. Two years later the success \nof the effort was so great that the dispensary was incorporated \nby the legislature under its present title. After two temporary \n\nheadquarters, it \nremoved, in 1850, \nto the building \nstanding at the \ncorner of Charles \nStreet and Cam- \nbridge Street. In \n1899 the infirm- \nary, having out- \ngrown its old \nquarters, moved \nto its present fine \nEYE AND EAR INFIRMARY building. The in- \n\nfirmary receives poor patients with diseases of the eye and ear; \nthose living in Massachusetts being admitted free unless able \nto pay their board. Those coming from other states are charged \nsix dollars per week for their board. There are accommoda- \ntions for 160 patients. \n\nIn 1905, 1,651 patients were treated in the ophthalmic \nwards, and 1,251 in the aural wards. In the out-patient depart- \nment, 32,417 new patients were treated, of which 23,498 were \nophthalmic, and 8,919 were aural cases. \n\nIn addition to the regular wards, there is the Gardner \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 101 \n\nBuilding, used solely for the treatment of contagious diseases \nof the eye. In this building 308 cases were treated in 1905. \nAn excellent post-graduate training school, for nurses who are \ngraduates of any general hospital training school, is main- \ntained. The course is four months, and includes thorough in- \nstruction in the care of ophthalmic and aural cases. \n\nOpposite the Eye and Ear Infirmary is the Charlesbank, a \npart of Boston's park system. It is an attractive bit of ground, \ndesigned for the poor of the neighborhood, and contains a \ngymnasium, playgrounds and sand gardens. Turning to the \nright, and walking along Charles Street to the north, past \nthe Charlesbank, one soon comes to Leverett Street. Here \nstands the old Craigie Bridge immortalized in Longfellow's \npoem, \"The Bridge.\" It leads to East Cambridge. Here the \nCharles River Basin Commis- \nsion is constructing a shut-off \ndam which is to convert the \nriver above this point into a \nfresh-water lake with a perma- \nnent level. Locks are being \nconstructed on the Boston side, \nso that the river may be used \nfor commerce, as at present. | \nWork was begun in 1 904, and * \nit is hoped to have the dam WOMEN'S GYMNASIUM, CHARLES- \n\n111 11 BANK \n\nand locks completed in 1908. \n\nThis improvement necessitates carrying all the sewers which \nhave emptied into the Charles above Craigie Bridge into the \nintercepting sewers, and the total expense of the project will \nbe very great. \n\nOn the corner opposite the Eye and Ear Infirmary stands \nthe County Jail, generally known as the Charles Street Jail. \n\nWalking now along Charles Street to the south, one comes \nto Cambridge Street. At its junction begins the new Cambridge \nBridge, begun in 1900 and not yet completed. It is to take the \nplace of the old West Boston Bridge. It is constructed of steel \narches, joining massive granite piers, and is by far the most \n\n\n102 \n\n\nAMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\n\nbeautiful of the bridges which cross the Charles River. It is 105 \nfeet wide, and will carry elevated and surface tracks, besides \nroadways and sidewalks. The total cost is to be $2,500,000. \nOn the southwesterly corner of Charles and Cambridge \nstreets stands the old building of the Eye and Ear Infirmary, \nnow an unsightly structure. Next to it, in fact adjoining it, on \nCharles Street, No. 164, is the house which was occupied by \n\n\nNEW CAMBRIDGE BRIDGE \n\nOliver Wendell Holmes from 1859 to 1871. It was here that \nhe wrote his \"Professor at the Breakfast-Table,\" \"Elsie \nVenner,\" \"The Guardian Angel,\" and a number of his best \npoems. \n\nNo. 148 is of unusual interest. It was the home of James \nT. Fields, the publisher, who lived there until his death in \n1881. It is now occupied by his widow and Sarah Orne Jew- \nett. The house once opened its doors to Thackeray and Dick- \nens, and their famous contemporaries. The library is one of \nthe richest in this country in original manuscripts (includ- \ning that of \"The Scarlet Letter\") and first editions. Rare \nportraits, engravings and autograph letters adorn its walls. \n\nNo. 131 Charles Street deserves a word of comment, as \nfrom 1871 to 1881 it was the home of Thomas Bailey Aldrich, \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON \n\n\n103 \n\n\nand in these years he wrote many of his best books, and be- \ngan his editorship of the \"Atlantic Monthly.\" \n\nWalking along Charles Street, one comes now, successively, \nto Revere, Pinckney, Mt. Vernon and Chestnut streets, which \ncross Charles Street and lead up to Beacon Hill on the one \nhand, and to the Charles River on the other hand. \n\nRevere and Pinckney streets, once fashionable in their day, \nare now mostly taken up with boarding-houses. It is worth \none's while to wander up and down Mt. Vernon Street, as it \nretains, even to-day, much of the old-fashioned stateliness for \nwhich it was once famous. Here one may see many fine old \nresidences, erected in the early part of the last century, of \nsumptuous design and eloquent of refined luxury. \n\nNear Charles Street one comes to Louisburg Square, connect- \ning Mount Ver- \nnon Street with \nPinckney Street. \nThis squai'e re- \ncalls in many ways \na bit of old Lon- \ndon, and is sup- \nposedly the site \nof Blackstone's \nSpring. The lat- \nter point is in dis- \npute, however, for \nthere were many \nsprings in this locality; but it is interesting to know that \nBoston's first settler, William Blackstone, had his orchard in \nthis region, and that his homestead was not far off on the \nslope of the hill which faces Boston Common. The square is \nsurrounded by fine dignified houses, of which No. 10 is note- \nworthy as having been the home of Louisa M. Alcott. \n\nAt the upper corner of Pinckney Street and Louisburg \nSquare is the \"mother house\" and chapel of the Sisters of \nSt. Margaret (Protestant Episcopal), who conduct a private \nhospital occupying the houses at No. 2 Louisburg Square and \n\n\nLOUISBURG SQUARE \nAND ST. MARGARET'S HOSPITAL \n\n\n104 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nNo. 86 Mt. Vernon Street. This hospital was organized in 1882. \nUnder their auspices there is also maintained St. Monica s \nHome, for the care of sick colored women. Until recently it \nwas located at No. 45 Joy Street, but now occupies more attrac- \ntive quarters on Highland Street, Roxbury. The Sisters of St. \nMargaret also conducted until recently the Children's Island \nSanitarium on Lowell Island in Salem Harbor. This is reached \nby boat from Marblehead. It was opened in 1886 through the \ngenerosity of Mr. F. H. Rindge of California. It is especially \nadapted for children with chronic diseases and those convales- \ncing from illness or surgical operations. Working-women seek- \ning rest are also admitted as boarders. The hospital is now \nmaintained under new management. This sisterhood also has \nsupervision of the nursing at the Children's Hospital on \nHuntington Avenue. \n\nIf one ascends Mt. Vernon Street to the top of the hill, he \ncomes to the arch under the State House from which he \nstarted, but before this is reached, the visitor passes Walnut \nStreet, and is urged to go through this to Chestnut Street \nfor the sake of seeing a quiet bit of old Boston. Chestnut \nStreet, down which one now descends, retains — perhaps \nmore than any other street in this section — its old prestige. \nFlanked on either side by handsome old houses, many of them \nformer homes of famous men, it offers a pleasing contrast to \nthose portions of this section seen in the first part of our \nramble. On Brimmer Street, at the foot of Mt. Vernon Street, \nis the Church of the Advent, one of the chief Protestant Epis- \ncopal churches of the city. \n\n\nTHE NORTH END \n\nTHE NORTH END, the aristocratic court end of colonial \nBoston, and rich in historic interest, is to-day wholly \na foreign quarter of the city. Very few buildings of \nhistoric interest remain, and we can see only where they \nstood and try to imagine what they and their occupants were \nlike. It is difficult now, surrounded by a motley crowd of jab- \nbering foreigners, to picture the days of the seventeenth and \neighteenth centuries, when this locality was the social centre \nof the Puritan colony. \n\nIts location can best be understood by a study of the map \nof Boston as it was in early days before the filling-in of the \nsurrounding waterways. Standing at the corner of Hanover and \nWashington streets, we see the former street running northeast \nto the harbor front, the way to Chelsea, called \"Winnisimmet \nFerry,\" the latter due north to the water's edge, and between \nthe two a wedge-shaped area which comprises most of the \nNorth End. \n\nBelow Washington Street on Hanover is Union Street, and \nhere are two historic sites. The Green Dragon Tavern, famous \nthroughout the early history of the colony, was located just \nback of Union Street in an alley. Its site (now No. 82 Union \nStreet) is marked by an effigy of a green dragon, set on a \nbrown stone slab about halfway up the front wall of an old \nbuilding. It was the chief meeting-place of the early patriots, \nwhere much \"treason\" was hatched. Its existence dates from \n1680 until about the twenties of the nineteenth century, when \nthe Green Dragon Lane was widened to form the present \nUnion Street. \n\nA second site of interest, on the southwest corner of Union \nand Hanover streets, is Josiah Franklin s dwelling and chandlery \nshop, at \"The Sign of the Blue'Ball,\" where Benjamin Franklin \nlived as a boy and worked for his father as a candlemaker; This \nwas removed in the widening of Hanover Street. \n\nA few steps up Union Street is Marshall's Lane, now known \n\n\n106 \n\n\nAMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\n\nas Marshal] Street, one of Boston's curious short streets. From \nMarshall's Lane there is another small street, Creek Lane, now \ncalled Creek Square, which in early days led to the Mill Creek. \nHere, set into the base of a building, is a rough piece of granite, \nmarked Boston Stone, 1737, surmounted by a spherical stone. \nThis stone served as a direction for the neighboring shops, and \nwas the relic of a paint mill brought out from England about \n1700 (see illustration, page 5). On the corner opposite is an an- \ncient building, where was the office of Ebenezer Hancock, de- \nputy paymaster in the Continental Army. \n\nFrom the left side of Hanover Street, just below Blackstone, \nis Salem Street, narrow and winding, and pegpled almost en- \ntirely by Russian Jews. It \nwas the aristocratic street \nof the early colonial days. \nAt the corner of Still- \nman Street was the site of \nthe first Baptist meeting- \nhouse, erected in 1679 on \nthe border of the Mill \nPond. The present First \nBaptist Church is located \nat the corner of Common- \nwealth Avenue and Clar- \nendon Street. The Baptists \nwere a proscribed sect in \nthe early days and severely \npersecuted, their meeting-house being closed and its windows \nand doors nailed up by order of the General Court. Farther \ndown Salem Street is Prince Street (in part old Black Horse \nLane), which was the direct way from the North End to the \nCharlestown Ferry, where now is the Charlestown Bridge. After \nthe battle of Bunker Hill, many of the British wounded were \nbrought to Prince Street houses, which were converted into \nemergency hospitals. One of these houses, still standing, the \nStoddard house, No. 130, at present an Italian tenement and \nbutcher shop, is said to be the house in which Major Pitcairn \n\n\nRELIEF STATION \nOF THE BOSTON CITY HOSPITAL \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON \n\n\n107 \n\n\ndied of his wounds. On the westerly corner of Prince and Mar- \ngaret streets is the house where John Tileston lived, the popular \nmaster of the oldest North End school, the predecessor of the \nEliot Grammar school in North Bennet Street. \n\nFarther down Prince Street is CHRIST CHURCH, and in very \nclose proximity is Copps Hill \nBurying-Ground. These, the \nchief historical landmarks of \nthe North End, are dear to \nthe hearts of all true Ameri- \ncans. Christ Church, known \nthroughout our land as the \nchurch from whose steeple \nthe lanterns were displayed as \na signal to Paul Revere of the \nBritish movements, — \"One if \nby land, and two if by sea,\" \n— faces Hull Street. It is the \noldest church building in Bos- \nton, having been erected in \n1723. It was solidly built, its \nside walls being two and a half \nfeet thick. There are four \nfloors to the' tower, and from \nthe top one General Gage wit- \nnessed the battle of Bunker \nHill and the burning of \nCharlestown. There are eight \nbells in the tower, brought \nover from Gloucester, England, \nin 1744, and these ring out \nthe most melodious chimes in \nBoston to-day. The first spire was blown down in October, 1 805, \nbut was rebuilt exactly as the original from a model by Bulfinch. \nOn the front of the steeple is this inscription, cut into brown \nstone : \" The anginal lanterns of Paul Revere displayed in the \nsteeple of this church, April 18, 1775, warned the country of the \n\n\nCHRIST CHURCH \n\n\n108 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nmarch of the British troops to Lexington and Concord.\" The in- \nterior of the church is but little altered. In front of the organ are \nfigures of the cherubim. These, and the brass chandeliers, were \ncaptured from a French ship and presented to the church in \n1758. The old prayer books are still in use, arid the silver \ncommunion service includes several pieces presented by King \nGeorge II in 1733. The clock below the rail has been in its place \nsince 174-6. The earliest monument to Washington, a bust by \nHoudon, is here. Beneath the tower are a few old tombs, in one \nof which the body of Major Pitcairn was temporarily laid. The \nsexton, living in an adjoining house, shows visitors over the church. \nFee, twenty-Jive cents. \n\nTo the south of the church, at the corner of Sheafe Street, \nwas the home of Robert Newman, the sexton of Christ Church \nwho hung the lanterns, and near by, on Sheafe Street, is the \nsite of the birthplace of Rev. Samuel F. Smith, the author of \n\"America.\" Directly opposite the church is Hull Street, named \nfor John Hull, maker of pine-tree shillings. This street was cut \nthrough his pasture lands in 1701. The last relic of early days, \nan old house which stood edgewise to the street, the Gallop \nhouse, built in 1722, and Gage's staff headquarters during the \nbattle of Bunker Hill, was torn down only a few months ago. \nGallop's Island, in Boston Harbor, was named after the owner \nof this house, and is the site of the present quarantine hospi- \ntal of Boston. \n\nCOPP'S HILL BURYING-GROUND, on Hull Street, is one of the \nmost interesting of the old cemeteries of the city. The North \nBurial-Ground, the earliest of four predecessors on this site, \nwas established in 1660, at the same time as the Granary \nBurying-Ground. A visit here will well repay the visitor. The \nBritish soldiers took great pleasure in pistol practice in this \nburying-ground, and many of the gravestones show the effects \nof bullets. A few of the noted graves may be mentioned, — \nthose of the three Mathers ; Edmund Hartt, the builder of the \nfrigate Constitution; Major Samuel Shaw, of revolutionary \nfame, and the Hutchinsons. The top of the hill, which was \ntowards the waterside, has been levelled. It was from this \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 109 \n\nelevation that the shell was thrown which set fire to Charles- \ntown. \n\nLeaving the burying-ground and crossing Salem Street, \nthrough Tileston, we come to Hanover again close by North \nSquare. Although now a poor squalid Italian tenement district,, \nthe square was once the central point of the North End in its \nmost aristocratic days, when shade trees and stately mansions \nwere in evidence. A little low wooden house on North Street, off \nthe square, is the only present reminder of the early years. It is \nthe house marked as the home of Paul Revere, in which he \nlived from 1770 to 1800. This house was built soon after the \ngreat fire of 1676', on the site of Increase Mather's house, which \nwas destroyed in this conflagration. In the upper windows of \nthis house on the evening of the Boston Massacre, Paul Revere \ndisplayed \"those awful pictures\" which report says \"struck the \nspectators with solemn silence, while their countenances were \ncovered with a melancholy gloom.\" An effort is being made to \npreserve this house by purchase. \n\nOn the north side of the square is the site of the Old North \nChurch, destroyed by the British during the siege of Boston, \nand used by them for firewood. It was the second meeting- \nhouse of the Second Church in Boston, founded in l64>9. The \nfirst edifice was burned in the fire of 1676. It was known as the \n\"Church of the Mathers,\" because presided over successively \nby Increase, Cotton and Samuel, — father, son and grandson. \n\nClose to the church, in Garden Court Street, was the man- \nsion of Governor Thomas Hutchinson, — a stately colonial \nmansion on extensive grounds. Close to the Hutchinson estate \nwas the Clark- Frankland mansion, well known through Edwin \nLasseter Bynner's \"Agnes Surriage.\" In the widening of the \npresent street, about 1830, most of these houses were torn \ndown. North Square was used by the British as a military \nheadquarters throughout the siege of Boston, the officers en- \njoying the houses of the good Bostonians, while barracks were \nerected for the soldiers. \n\nTo return to Hanover Street again we come to Battery \nStreet, and through this to Commercial Street and its continu- \n\n\n110 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nation southward, Atlantic Avenue. Here were located ship- \nyards^ extending well along the water-front, even to the foot \nof Copp's Hill. Famous ships were launched from these yards, \n— the pride of the navy, \"Old Ironsides,\" the frigate Boston \nand the brig Argus. Present Constitution Wharf marked the \nsite of Hartt's Shipbuilding Yard, where the Constitution \n(\"Old Ironsides\") was built. \n\nBefore we leave this interesting locality, so fragrant with \nmemories of the early days, we must consider the Boston Float- \ning Hospital. This hospital cares for sick infants and young \nchildren during the summer months, and has a day and also a \npermanent service. Parents or older children may accompany \nan infant. The work started in 1 894 from the efforts of the Rev. \n\nRufus B. Tobey. It is the \n\n; second floating hospital in \n\nthis country, New York \nhaving the first. The boat, \nwith its load of sick in- \nfants and anxious parents, \nleaves City Wharf every \nmorning at nine, and \n\nBOSTON FLOATING HOSPITAL steams out into the lower \n\nharbor and bay. The poor, sick, air-starved babies feel the \nstrengthening breezes of the bay, color returns, digestion im- \nproves with appetite, and on leaving the boat at 5 p.m., mother \nand infant are equipped with a fresh start against the evil forces \nof the city's summer night. The very sick babies are kept \npermanently, the boat tying up at Pickert's Wharf, in East \nBoston, for the nights and Sundays. \n\nA new boat is to be in commission this summer. It is 170 \nfeet in length, and 46J feet beam, and has four decks. The \nlowest deck is for machinery, including a refrigerating and ven- \ntilating plant, and apparatus to reduce the moisture in the air to \na relative humidity of 50°. The next deck is for the dining-rooms \nand staterooms. The main deck is the permanent hospital deck, \nand the upper deck will accommodate 200 day-patients. The re- \ncord of patients cared for in the summer of 1905 was: perma- \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 111 \n\nnent patients, 279; day patients (new cases), 686, — total num- \nber of patients on all trips, 2,374. \n\nHARBOR HOSPITALS \n\nQuarantine. With the salt sea-breezes in our nostrils, and a de- \nsire to become acquainted with some of our medical institu- \ntions, let us board the good boat Monitor at Eastern Ave- \nnue Wharf at 2.15 p.m., and steam about the harbor. As we \npick our way among the ferryboats and saucy, busily puffing \ntugs, avoiding here and there a mighty leviathan of the deep, \nor many-masted vessel for the coasting trade, or trim fishing- \nschooner out of Gloucester, smothered under a cloud of can- \nvas, we may see our city from the waterside, and with the \nstory of its early days fresh in our minds, marvel at the won- \nders wrought by Father Time in producing from the peaceful \nwater-surrounded Shawmutt the present great metropolis of \nNew England, our Boston. \n\nThe many dredging-machines noticed are engaged under an \nact of Congress in widening and deepening the channel, to ac- \ncommodate the great vessels engaged in our growing commerce. \n\nOur first stopping-place is Deer Island, where is located the \nHouse of Correction, enclosing within its grim walls a colony \nof some fifteen hundred more or less lawless people, male and \nfemale. The adjoining hospital of one hundred beds gives ample \nand skilled service to the prisoners. The same hospital curi- \nously serves as a detention hospital for observation as to the \nmental condition of unfortunates not necessarily prisoners. \nDuring the past year 372 patients were detained for such ob- \nservation. Farther down the harbor, near the great Boston \nLight, is the Quarantine Hospital, on Gallop's Island. The Port \nPhysician has his headquarters here, and the buildings scat- \ntered over the island are for those afflicted with contagious \ndiseases found aboard vessels entering the harbor. One hundred \nand eleven such cases were quarantined here last year, includ- \ning three lepers. During the year 86,525 people were examined \naboard incoming craft, and thirty-six vessels were disinfected. \n\nReturning towards the city by the southerly side of the har- \n\n\n112 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nbor, we come to Long Island, with its hospital and almshouse \nunder the management of the Pauper Institutions Department. \nThe hospital supports 265 beds, caring mostly for chronic and \nincurable diseases. A bar to its best efficiency is, that every ap- \nplicant for admission must, at least technically, become a \npauper. An important service to the community as well as to \nthe patients is rendered by the efficient care of cases of tubercu- \nlosis, incipient and advanced. During the year some 277 pa- \ntients with pulmonary tuberculosis were treated here with most \ngratifying results. \n\nOur last stop is at Rainsford Island. Here is the House of Re- \nformation, with its hospital for the sick children of the settle- \nment. During the past year 453 children were treated, 178 be- \ning classed as hospital patients. \n\nAll these institutions have resident physicians or house offi- \ncers, and in addition a visiting staff made up from among the \nleading physicians of Boston. \n\nIf time serves, the captain of our steamer may land us at \nMoon Island, where are situated the storage basins and the \noutfall of the great southern intercepting sewer of the Metro- \npolitan Sewerage System. This sewer drains the valleys of the \nCharles and Neponset rivers; the northern sewer, serving the \ntowns of the Mystic valley, discharges at Deer Island. The \nsouthern sewer was begun in 1876, and has a finely appointed \npumping station, at the Cow Pasture Point in Dorchester, that \nwill well repay a visit. \n\nOnce more we board the Monitor, and arrive at the Eastern \nAvenue Wharf at 5.20 p. m., just as the sun is bathing in golden \nlight the western half of the Gilded Dome. \n\n\nCHARLESTOWN \n\nCH ARLESTOWN is most easily and speedily reached \nby the \"L\" trains running to Sullivan Square. After \nleaving the North Station (see North End) the trains \ncross the new Charlestown Bridge, which was completed in \n1900 by the City of Boston, costing $1,400,000. Across the \nstream, in Charlestown, to the right, may be seen the docks \nof several lines of trans- Atlantic steamers. \n\nThe few points of interest worth seeing in Charlestown can \nbe easily reached by walking from the Thompson Square sta- \ntion of the Elevated Railroad. Harvard men may be interested \nto visit the old burying-ground on Phipps Street near by. In \nthis cemetery is a monument to Harvard's founder, John Har- \nvard, erected by several of the alumni in 1828. On Main Street, \nnear Thompson Square, is the house in which Morse, the in- \nventor of the electric telegraph, was born in 1791. \n\nWalking back to City Square one finds himself in the part \nwhich was first settled in 1629- On the west side of the square \nstood the governor's house, where in 1630 the Court of As- \nsistants decided on the name of the adjacent town of Boston. \n\nOn the slope of the hill rising behind the present Public \nLibrary, in early days called Town Hill, was the lot owned by \nJohn Harvard, and on it stood his house near where Main \nStreet now begins. At the foot of the hill, at the northern end \nof the square, there once existed a cemetery, and here it is \nsupposed was John Harvard's grave, but all trace of it has \nbeen lost. \n\nOne now goes down Water Street to the corner of Wapping, \nwhere stands the main entrance to the CHARLESTOWN NAVY YARD. \nVisitors are admitted daily by passes obtained at the main gate. \nThe Navy Yard, ninety acres in extent, occupies Moulton's \nPoint, where the British troops landed before the battle of \nBunker Hill. \n\nThe Yard contains many features of interest, — among them \nthe famous old Constitution, the receiving-ship Wabash, a large \n\n\n114 \n\n\nAMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\n\nN. L. Stebbins, Photo. \n\nTHE CONSTITUTION \n\n\nrope-walk, a naval museum, the old granite dry dock and the \nfine new concrete dry dock completed August 1, 1905, at an \n\nexpense of over a million dollars. \n•It took six years to build it; \nit is 700 feet long and 144 feet \nwide, and can accommodate the \nlargest vessel afloat. Marines are \nin readiness to explain the differ- \nent sights, and the visitor is made \nto feel quite free to wander at \nwill. \n\nOn leaving the Navy Yard, \nBUNKER HILL MONUMENT will be the next objective point, and \nis by far the most worth while of the city's sights. The monu- \nment stands on Breed's Hill, where the great battle was fought. \nIt is reached by returning to City Square and walking along \nMain Street until one comes to Monument Avenue, which leads \nto the main entrance of the grounds. \n\nA bronze statue of Colonel William Prescott attracts imme- \ndiate attention. It stands about on the site where the gallant \nleader stood at the opening of the battle. The monument itself \noccupies the site of a corner of the American fortifications. It \nis built of Quincy granite brought from a quarry in the town \nof that name by the first railroad laid in this country. The \nmonument is 221 feet high, and \n30 feet square at the base. It was \nbegun in 1825, the corner-stone \nbeing laid with great ceremony by \nLafayette, while Daniel Webster \ndelivered the oration. After a \nperiod of idleness covering nearly \ntwenty years, the efforts of public- \nspirited American women raised N- L- StM>n>, pf\">to- \nfunds with which the work could NEW DRY DOCK \n\nCHARLESTOWN NAVY YARD \n\nbe carried on. The monument was \n\ncompleted in 1842, and at its dedication on June 17, 1843, \n\nWebster delivered another oration. A spiral flight of 295 stone \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 115 \n\nsteps leads to the top of the \nstructure, whence from the ob- \nservatory a grand and far- \nreaching view is obtained. \n\nBunker Hill itself is north of \nBreed's Hill, near where the \nElevated Railroad ends, and its \nsummit is called Charlestown \nHeights. \n\nThe United States Naval \nHospital is in Chelsea, just be- \nyond the Charlestown Bridge. \nIt is connected with the Navy \nYard and affords care and \nmedical treatment to sick and \ndisabled men of the naval ser- \nvice. It has one hundred beds. \nVisitors are welcome. \n\nThe United States Marine \nHospital (1798) is on High \nStreet in Chelsea. It is reached \n\nby electric cars or the Chelsea Ferry. It furnishes medical and \nsurgical relief to the sick and disabled of the American mer- \ncantile marine. It has one hundred and fifty beds and an out- \npatient service. Visiting days, Tuesdays and Fridays. \n\n\nBUNKER HILL MONUMENT \n\n\nEAST BOSTON \n\nEAST BOSTON, across the Harbor, comprising two \nislands, — Noddle's and Breed's, — is a place of docks \nand factories. It was once famous for its shipyards, \nwhere the fleet clipper-ships were built. Many of the trans- \nAtlantic steamship lines have their wharves here. \n\nOn Camp Hill is the site of the house of Samuel Maverick, \nthe earliest settler, and later the site of a fort. \n\nEast Boston is reached most conveniently by the NEW TUN- \nNEL, which is entered at Scollay Square, and extends under \nCourt and State streets. Where it crosses Atlantic Avenue \nthere is a station which has elevators to take passengers to \nthe Elevated Railway. Under the harbor the top of the lowest \npart of the tunnel is sixty feet below mean low-water mark, \nand the tunnel is nearly level. It has walls of concrete, and \nis 23 feet wide and 20j feet high, and carries two electric rail- \nway tracks. The total length of the tunnel, from Scollay \nSquare to Maverick Square in East Boston, is 7,500 feet. \n\n\nSOUTH BOSTON \n\nSOUTH BOSTON is a large residential section, and is \nalso a place of docks and factories. The extensive \nCommonwealth Docks on the harbor side are well \nworth inspecting, as also Lawley's Shipyard, where noted \nyachts are built. \n\nOn Dorchester Heights is a monument commemorating the \n\n\nIlilillllilli \n\n\nPERKINS INSTITUTION FOR THE BLIND \n\nerection of the American fortifications which forced the British \nto evacuate Boston, March 17, 1776. \n\nBeautifully situated on the hill is the Perkins Institution for \nthe Blind, founded by Samuel G. Howe in 1829- Not far away \non the Heights, commanding an extensive view of the harbor \nand city, is the Carney Hospital. It was founded in 1863 \nthrough the generosity of Andrew Carney, who not only gave \nthe land, but an endowment of $75,000. It is managed by the \nCatholic Sisters of Charity, St. Vincent de Paul. During the \nsiege of Boston, Washington planted his cannon on this very \nspot. The hospital supports two hundred beds, with services \n\n\n118 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nfor surgery, gynecology, medicine, ophthalmology and ortho- \npedics. The gynecological department, with its separate wards \nand operating room, has always been a strong branch of the hos- \npital. There is an ex- \ntensive out-patient \ndepartment, well \nhoused in a new \nbuilding, in which \nwere treated last \nyear 1 6,1 69 pa- \ntients. It was in \nthis hospital that \nthe late Dr. John \nHomans first de- \nmonstrated to the \nprofession in New \nEngland the pos- \nsibility of operating \nsuccessfully upon \nCARNEY HOSPITAL ovarian tumors. \n\nAt the harbor end of the district is Marine Park of the Boston \npublic park system, a favorite recreation ground in summer. \nHere is a beautiful boulevard on the water's edge. A long \nbridge connects Fort Independence (a disused government for- \ntification ceded to the city for park purposes) with the boule- \nvard, and from here the parkway extends along Columbia Road \nto Franklin Park and the Blue Hills. The statue facing the har- \nbor is of Admiral Farragut. \n\nAt the foot of L Street is a public bath, open the year round. \nCrowded in the hot days with men and boys enjoying the \npleasures of a swim, it is used by a few hardy men during \nour coldest days. Photographs exist showing one foolish man \nswimming among the floating ice cakes. \n\n\nDORCHESTER \n\n\nKNNING southeast from the Dudley Street Terminal \nof the Boston Elevated Railroad, we proceed to Dor- \nchester, along Dudley Street. We must take notice \nin passing of the buildings of the Little Sisters of the Poor, at \nthe beginning of Blue Hill Avenue, where once was the home \nof Enoch Bartlett, famous for his Bartlett pears. \n\nDorchester is a place of homes. It was the largest town in \nNew England in l634>, and was annexed to Boston in 1838. Its \ninhabitants were the first on \nthe New England coast to es- \ntablish fisheries. Two sites are \nworth mentioning, — Meeting- \nHouse Hill, which has had a \nchurch on its summit since \n1631, and the Old Burying- \nGround at the corner of Stough- \nton Street and Columbia Road. \nRichard Mather, the founder \nof the Mather family,lies buried \nhere, and William Stoughton, \nthe chief justice of the Salem \nwitchcraft trials. Another in- \nteresting landmark, really in \nRoxbury, but close to Dorches- \nter, is at the corner of Washing- \nton and Eustis Streets — the Eliot Burying-Ground, where are \nthe tombs of the Dudleys and John Eliot. It is open Saturday and \nSunday afternoons. \n\nBefore leaving Dorchester mention must be made of the \nmedical institutions. On Dorchester Avenue, near the Milton \nline, is the Boston Home for Incurables, founded in 1882. It is \na private institution of fifty beds, devoted to the care of the \npoor afflicted with incurable diseases. On Quincy Street is an- \nother hospital for advanced consumptives, — the Free Home for \n\n\nM. D. Miller, Photo. \n\nFIRST PARISH CHURCH \nMEETING-HOUSE HILL \n\n\n120 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nConsumptives, established in 1892, and supporting thirty beds. \nOn Gushing Avenue is St. Mary's Infant Asylum and Lying-in \nHospitalyOrganized in 1 874 by the Sisters of Charity, St. Vincent \nde Paul. The hospital has forty beds. \n\n\nROXBURY \n\nTHE Roxbury District, full of interest historically, is \nnow, as in earlier years, a place of residences. In 1630 \na band of settlers coming over with Winthrop took \nup their abode here, settling near the present Eliot Square. It \nwas called Rocksbury or Rocksborough, from the great ledge of \nrocks running through it, the so-called Roxbury pudding-stone. \nOne recalls the legend of the giant, familiar to the children \nof Boston, through Dr. Holmes's poem: \n\nHe brought them a pudding stuffed with plums, \n\nAs big as the State House dome; \nQuoth he, \"There's something for you to cat, \nSo stop your mouths with your 'lection treat, \n\nAnd wait till your dad comes home.\" \n\nWhat are those lone ones doing now, \n\nThe wife and the children sad? \n0, they are in a terrible rout, \nScreaming and throwing their pudding about. \n\nActing as they were mad. \n\nThey flung it over to Roxbury hills, \n\nThey flung it over the plain, \nAnd all over Milton and Dorchester, too, \nGreat lumps of pudding the giants threw, \n\nThey tumbled as thick as rain. \n\nGiant and mammoth have passed away, \n\nFor ages have floated by; \nThe suet is hard as a marrow bone, \nAnd every plum is turned to a stone, \n\nBut there the puddings lie. \n\nIn 1631 came John Eliot. The early settlers were of good stock, \neducated and able. On the hill known as Meeting-House Hill, \nnow Eliot Square, was erected in 1632 the first meeting-house. \nIts roof was thatched and the walls unplastered ; there were \nno pews or spire, but about it centred the life of the village. \n\n\n122 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nBy law the settlers were compelled to live within one half mile \nof the church for protection against the Indians. For sixty \nyears John Eliot preached here. On the north side of the square \nis still standing the parsonage built by the Rev. Olin Peabody \nin 1750. Here was Town Street, now Roxbury Street. \n\nAn interesting landmark is St. Lukes Home for Convalescents, \nat No. 14-9, occupying a house over one hundred years old. This \nHome, established in 1872, is a charity supported by the Epis- \ncopal churches of Boston. It \ngives shelter to women in a \nconvalescent stage, and can \naccommodate twenty-six pa- \ntients. A board of visiting phy- \nsicians look out for the medical \nneeds of the inmates. \n\nOn the south side of the \nsquare is the Norfolk House, at \none time a noted hotel, and \nsouth of this is the site of the \nRoxbury High Fort of revolu- \ntionary interest. Here is now a \nlandmark in the nature of a \ntall water tower, or \"Stand \nPipe,\" painted white, built in \n\nDr. M. D. Miller, Photo. 1 869- \n\nPARTING STONE, ROXBURY Qn the westerly side of the \n\nsquare, near Centre Street, is the Parting Stone, marked The \nParting Stone, 1744) P- Dudley. This stone marked the way in \none direction to Cambridge and Watertown, and in the other \nto Dedham and Rhode Island. \n\nTaking the road to the west, toward Brookline, over what \nis now Mission Hill, we pass the Mission Church, built by the \nRedemptorist Fathers in 1 869. Farther on is Huiitington Ave- \nnue, and here is a large group of buildings, — the House of the \nGood Shepherd, a Catholic institution for wayward girls and \nwomen. Opposite this is Parker Hill, or \"Great Hill,\" as it was \ncalled, from the summit of which one obtains a glorious view \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 123 \n\nof Boston and the harbor. On the top of the hill lived the \nworthy John Parker. \n\nThere are two semi-public hospitals located at present upon \nthe hill, — the Women s Charity Club Hospital, of twenty-eight \nbeds, and, nearer the summit, the New England Baptist Hospi- \ntal, of twenty-seven beds and seven tents. In the restful quiet \nof the hill, yet so near the busy city, the patients enjoy the ad- \nvantages of both country and city. Just beyond, in a large va- \ncant estate, is the Day Hospital for Consumptives, managed by \nthe Boston Association for the Relief and Control of Tuberculo- \nsis. In the warm weather patients come from the city, mounting \nthe hill in carriages, and enjoy the cool dustless breezes and \ngenerous diet provided. The experience of its first year has de- \nmonstrated its worth. This leads us to consider the \n\nPROVISIONS FOR TUBERCULOSIS IN BOSTON AND MASSACHUSETTS \n\nThe Boston Association for the Relief and Control of Tubercu- \nlosis has rooms at No. 8 Beacon Street. It is a voluntary associa- \ntion of physicians and laymen devoting its energies to the edu- \ncation of the public as to the character of tuberculosis, by means \nof lectures, leaflets, and exhibits. It also maintains a nurse, who \nvisits among the consumptive poor, instructing them in pro- \nphylactic measures. It agitates for segregation of consumption \nin institutions and for increased provision for early and ad- \nvanced cases. \n\nThe Boston Board of Health, Old Court House, Court Square, \nmakes free bacteriological examinations of sputum, requires \nthat tuberculosis be reported by attending physicians, makes \nsanitary inspection of the home when a case is reported, com- \npels hospital care if conditions are bad in the home, and disin- \nfects after a death or removal. \n\nThe Massachusetts Slate Sanatorium, Rutland, Massachusetts, \nis fifty miles from Boston, on the Boston and Maine Railroad; \nstation Muschopauge. The sanatorium was opened in 1898, be- \ning the first state institution of its kind in America. Its capacity \nis 365 patients. The medical staff consists of two visiting physi- \ncians from Boston and three resident assistants. Patients in \n\n\n124 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nthe earliest stages of pulmonary tuberculosis are treated. The \ncost per patient per week in 1905 was $8.83, of which the pa- \ntient was required to pay $4. \n\nHospitals for Advanced Consumptives. The City of Boston has \nappropriated $150,000 to begin the erection of a hospital for \nadvanced consumptives, the trustees of this new department \ntaking office May 1, 1906. \n\nPrivate charitable hospitals for the care of consumptives are \nas follows: the House of the Good Samaritan, corner of Francis \nand Binney streets, Longwood ; the Free Home for Consumptives, \nNo. 438 Quincy Street, Dorchester; the Cullis Home, Blue Hill \nAvenue, Dorchester; the ChanningHome,No.30 McLean Street, \nand the Sharon Sanatorium at Sharon. \n\nThe insane are cared for at the Danvers Insane Hospital, at \nDanvers, the prisoners at Deer Island, Boston Harbor, and the \npaupers at the Almshouse and Hospital on Long Island, Boston \nHarbor, and the State Hospital at Tewksbury. At Tewksbury a \nseparate hospital and two outdoor sleeping shacks accommo- \ndated 148 male consumptives in the winter of 1905-6. A build- \ning for women is in process of erection. \n\nSeparate Treatment of the Tuberculous among Public Dependents. \nThe state is building a separate prison for consumptives in the \ntown of Rutland. \n\nThe Sharon Sanatorium for cases of incipient pulmonary dis- \neases is at Sharon, Massachusetts, eighteen miles from Boston, \non the Providence Division of the New York, New Haven and \nHartford Railroad. Capacity, twenty-one beds. It was first \nopened for patients February 9, 1891, and was founded by Dr. \nVincent Y. Bowditch on the principles laid down in Germany \nby Brehmer at Goerbersdorf, and by Dettweiler at Falken- \nstein, and in America by Trudeau at Saranac Lake, New York. \nIt was at first unique in that it lies at only about two hundred \nand fifty or three hundred feet above the sea-level, only twelve \nmiles from the seacoast, and in the harsh, changeable climate of \nNew England, which up to recent years has been considered \nmost unfavorable for the treatment of such cases. It was the \nfirst institution of its kind in New England, and is intended for \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON \n\n\n125 \n\n\nwomen of very limited means who are in the early stages of \npulmonary disease. \n\nA nominal price of five dollars a week, exclusive of laundry, is \nasked. The public supplies the deficit. The services of the medi- \ncal directors and medicines are given free of charge. The results \nof treatment have shown that tuberculosis can be cured near \nhome in a large percentage of cases. The members of the Ameri- \ncan Medical Association and their friends are cordially invited \nby the directors to visit the institution. The superintendent and \nthe resident physician will be present to ex- \nplain the methods pursued at the sanatorium. \n\nTo return to Eliot Square, and proceeding \neast, we come to the Dudley Street Termi- \nnal and Warren Street. Just back of the Peo- \nple's Bank on the south side of the terminal, \non Dudley Street, is the site of the home of \nJohn Eliot, noted preacher for sixty years, \nfirst missionary to the Indians, translator of \nthe Bible into the Indian language, one of \nthe founders of the Roxbury Free School, \n—\"In zeal equal to St. Paul, in charity \nto St. Francis.\" Taking Warren Street \nsouth, the way to Braintree and Plymouth, \nwe find some interesting landmarks. At War- \nren Place, on a farm of seven acres, was the \nWarren homestead, built in 1720 by Joseph Warren, grand- \nfather of General Joseph Warren. Troops were quartered here \nduring the siege of Boston. On the site of the old homestead \nDr. John C. Warren erected in 1 846 a stone building as a per- \npetual memorial; and on June 17, 1904, a bronze statue in the \nsquare, the gift of the citizens, was dedicated to General Jo- \nseph Warren, — \"Physician, Orator, Patriot, killed at Bunker \nHill, June 17th, 1775.\" \n\nClose by, on Kearsarge Avenue, is the Roxbury Latin \nSchool, founded in 1645 as the Roxbury Free School. \n\nAt the corner of Tolman Place and Warren Street stands the \noldest house in Roxbury, built in 1683. Still farther south, past \n\n\nJOSEPH WAHKliN \n\n\n126 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nGrove Hall, on the way to Franklin Park, is the Cullis Con- \nsumptive Home, established in 1871. This is a private hospital \nof forty beds for advanced consumptives. \n\nFRANKLIN PARK, just beyond, is our largest playground, a \npark of five hundred acres. Splendid woods, tennis courts, ball \ngrounds, and an excellent golf course offer their varied attrac- \ntions to the visitor. Leading from Elm Hill across the park to- \nwards Milton and Plymouth was an old Indian trail. Near this \npoint, on the hill, Ralph Waldo Emerson lived when he taught \nschool in Roxbury. \n\nNear the edge of the park are two groups of buildings, Aus- \ntin and Pierce farms, making up the Boston Insane Hospital, \nwith its separate departments for men (Pierce Farm) and for \nwomen (Austin Farm), on Walk Hill Street and Canterbury \nStreet respectively. \n\nThere are about ten thousand insane persons in the State of \nMassachusetts. They are under the control of the State Board of \nInsanity, made up of five members appointed by the Governor, \ntwo of them being physicians. Nearly all the insane, including \nthe feeble-minded, the epileptic and the dipsomaniacs and in- \nebriates, are cared for by the following fourteen state institu- \ntions, of which the Medfield Asylum is the largest, the addresses \nbeing given in case any of the members of the American Medi- \ncal Association wish to visit the hospitals: Worcester Insane \nHospital (N. Y. C. & H. R. R. to Worcester); Tamiton Insane \nHospital (N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. to Taunton); Northampton In- \nsane Hospital (Boston & Maine R. R. to Northampton); Danvers \nInsane Hospital (Boston & Maine R. R. to Hathorne) ; West- \nborough Insane Hospital (N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. to Talbot); \nWorcester Insane Asylum (same as Worcester Hospital); Medfield \nInsane Asylum (N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. to Medfield Junction); \nState Colony for the Insane at Gardner (Boston & Maine R. R. to \nGardner); Asylum Wards, State Hospital (Boston & Maine R. R. \nto Tewksbury); State Farm for Insane Criminals at Bridgewater \n(N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. to Titicut); Hospital for Dipsomaniacs \nand Inebriates (N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. to Foxborough); Hospi- \ntal for Epileptics (N. Y. C. & H. R. R. to Palmer); Hospital Cot- \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 127 \n\ntages for Children (Boston & Maine R. R. to Baldwinville) ; and \nthe School for the Feeble-Minded (Boston & Maine R. R. to \nWaverley). \n\nThe Boston Insane Hospital (N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. to Forest \nHills, or Grove Hall electric cars) has a capacity of 660, and \ncares for the pauper insane, having a settlement within the \nlimits of Boston. It is owned and managed by the city and par- \ntially supported by the State. Some 450 insane are boarded in \nalmshouses or are in family care, and 215 are in nineteen li- \ncensed private institutions, of which the McLean Hospital at \nWaverley (see page 97), a department of the Massachusetts \nGeneral Hospital, and having a capacity of about two hundred, \nis the largest. \n\nNot far from the Boston Insane Hospital buildings is the \nbeautiful Forest Hills Cemetery, with its crematory and chapel \non Walk Hill Street, one of the two chief cemeteries of the \ncity. Mt. Hope Cemetery and the Catholic Cemetery are in this \nneighborhood also. \n\nIn the distance from Franklin Park are the Blue Hills, where \nare many attractive estates. Great Blue Hill, with its weather \nbureau observation house on top, is a popular climb. The Blue \nHills were once the home of the deadly rattlesnake. \n\nNot far from Franklin Park, on the road to Boston, via Rox- \nbury Crossing, is seen the New England Hospital for Women and \nChildren, incorporated in 1863. Its beginning was due very \nlargely to the efforts of Marie Zakrewska. Its object was and is \nnow: 1. To provide for women medical aid of competent physi- \ncians of their own sex. 2. To assist educated women in the prac- \ntical study of medicine. 3. To train nurses for the care of the \nsick. It is a large hospital of one hundred and twenty-five beds, \nvigorous and proud of its history. Its active medical staff is \ncomposed entirely of women physicians. Here was established \nin 1873 the first training school for nurses in America. \n\n\nJAMAICA PLAIN AND WEST ROXBURY \n\nSOUTHWEST of Roxbury, in what was West Roxbury, \nlies JAMAICA PLAIN. Its early history is really that of \nRoxbury. We find in 1689 John Eliot giving seventy- \nfive acres of land, \"the income from which was to be used for \nthe support of a school and a schoolmaster.\" The present Eliot \nSchool, on Eliot Street, commemorates this gift, and is de- \nvoted to the giving of free instruction in wood-carving, car- \npentering, needlework and drawing. On Centre Street, near \nGreen, is a two-story cottage with painted roof and dormer \nwindows, which was sold in 1740 to Benjamin Faneuil, nephew \nof old Peter Faneuil, and purchased in 1802 by the distinguished \nDr. John C. Warren. In 1828 it became the property of Samuel \nGoodrich, the author, who was the kindly, well beloved Peter \nParley of our childhood days. \n\nAt the corner of Centre and South streets is the old \nGreenough homestead, where lived five generations of Green- \noughs. This house was the headquarters of General Nathaniel \nGreene during the siege of Boston. Near here stands the old \nmilestone inscribed: \"5 miles to Boston Town House, 1735. \nP. Dudley.\" \n\nClose by is Jamaica Pond, once a source of water supply to \nBoston, now a feature in our chain of parks, and affording boat- \ning in summer and skating in winter. \n\nNear the Forest Hills Station of the New York, New Haven \n& Hartford Railroad is the magnificent Bussey estate, be- \nqueathed to Harvard University for the purpose of furnishing \n\"instruction in practical agriculture, useful and ornamental \ngardening, botany,\" &c. The Bussey Institution was built in 1871, \nand the beautiful Arnold Arboretum, containing over one hun- \ndred and sixty acres of hilly land, has been in process of de- \nvelopment ever since. Here are in great profusion rare varieties \nof trees, shrubs and deciduous plants. \n\nIn the Bussey Institution is a station of the Massachusetts \nState Board of Health, which had its origin as far back as 1 849, a \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 129 \n\nyear of unusual sickness and mortality throughout the state. \nThere had been much typhoid, dysentery and scarlet fever, and \nin addition cholera had carried off about twelve hundred of the \npopulation. The legislature authorized a commission to report \nupon the sanitary condition of the state, and the commission ad- \nvised the establishment of a \"general board of health.\" The \nboard was established twenty years later under the title of the \nState Board of Health, and was reorganized with enlarged \npowers in 1886. \n\nThe State Board of Health now consists of seven members, \nthree of whom are physicians. They are appointed for a term \nof seven years each. It has also a secretary, who is a trained \nphysician of the highest standing, a consulting engineer, a \nchief engineer, a consulting chemist, a chemist, a pathologist \nand an analyst of food and drugs. \n\nThe board has supervision of the sale of liquors, milk, ice, \nvinegar and food in general; of hospitals, nuisances, offensive \ntrades, pollution of water supply; sewage and its disposal ; and it \nis authorized to publish the result of its investigation of adul- \nterated articles. It has on file at the State House a long list of \nconspicuous fraudulent preparations with a statement of the \nexact amount of their noxious ingredients. It manufactures \nand distributes antitoxin and vaccine lymph from its station \nat the Bussey Institution. \n\nOn high wood-covered ground, overlooking the Arboretum, \nis the Faulkner Hospital, opened in 1903. It is the gift of \nGeorge Faulkner and his wife Abby L. A. Faulkner, in mem- \nory of their daughter Mary, for the good of the people of the \nold town of West Roxbury. There are twenty-eight beds de- \nvoted to surgical, medical and obstetrical work. \n\nOne other medical institution demands our attention before \nleaving Jamaica Plain, — the Adams Nervine Asylum on Centre \nStreet, close by the Arboretum. Funds for its establishment \nwere left in 1873 by the will of Seth Adams, late of Newton, \n\"for the benefit of such indigent, debilitated, nervous people, \nwho are not insane, inhabitants of the Commonwealth of Mas- \nsachusetts, as may be in need of the benefit of a curative in- \n\n\n130 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nstitution.\" There are rooms provided for thirty-six female pa- \ntients and thirteen male patients. \n\nOn Chestnut Avenue, corner of Wyman Street, is located \nthe Massachusetts Infant Asylum, whose object is to assist and \nprovide for delicate and destitute infants. Children under \neighteen months are admitted, and in caring for them \"the \ntrue relation of parent and child\" is carefully safeguarded. Most \nof the children are cared for in the home ; a few are boarded \nout in good families. About two hundred infants are treated \nannually. \n\n\nBROOKLINE \n\nBROOKLINE, or Muddy River as it was called, was \nused as a grazing place for swine and cattle in colonial \ntimes. Originally a part of Boston, in 1705 it was set \napart as an independent town and has remained a town ever \nsince. To this day the Brookline town meetings are famous \nfor their lively and public-spirited discussions of matters of \ntown government. It is a place of homes, many apartment \nhouses and beautiful estates. The mere mention of some of \nthe beautiful estates must suffice in this sketch, and the \nreader is assured that a trip around this town, the richest in \nthe United States, will be well worth while. The Gardner, \nSargent, Schlesinger, Winthrop, Lee, Lowell, Lyman, Brande- \ngee and Whitney places, and the Country Club, are some of \nthe most noted. \n\nNot far from the Country Club, on Newton Street, is the \nBrookline Board of Health Hospital, comprising a group of mod- \nern brick hospital buildings, caring for scarlet fever, diphtheria, \ntuberculosis and smallpox. Private patients from other cities are \nreceived here. \n\nAt the western end of the town is the CHESTNUT HILL RE- \nSERVOIR and pumping station, part of the Metropolitan Water \nWorks. The two lakes of the reservoir, nestling at the base \nof the surrounding hills, make one of the most attractive bits of \nscenery about Boston. \n\nNo city in America possesses so many attractive suburbs \nas does Boston. The Newtons, Wellesleys, Natick, Dedham, \nWeston, Milton, Mattapan, to the southwest, and Waltham, \nMedford, Winchester and Middlesex Fells, to the north, are \neasily accessible by trolley or automobile, and excursions are \nplanned for our honored guests to enjoy the beauties of these \ntowns. \n\nIn every city and in almost every town about Boston one \nfinds a hospital. Among the semi-private hospitals the Corey \nHill Hospital, on the southwest slope of Corey Hill, in the \n\n\n132 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\ntown of Brookline, is unique. It was built and equipped by a \ngroup of Boston physicians for the care of private patients, \nunder conditions believed to be most conducive to their medi- \ncal and surgical welfare and a speedy convalescence. The money \nfor construction and maintenance was subscribed by these \nmen, by whom the entire stock is held and controlled. The \nmodern fireproof building was opened in June, 1904, and ac- \ncommodates about thirty patients. The beds are open to physi- \ncians of Boston and vicinity, irrespective of any stock-holdings, \napplications for rooms being made to an executive committee, \nor by the stockholders to the resident matron and superinten- \ndent. \n\nThe patients remain under the direction of their individual \nphysicians, and are cared for in their absence by the resident \nhouse doctor. Great emphasis is laid on sunshine and fresh air. \nThe patients are encouraged to spend much of their time in the \nsun rooms, on the numerous balconies and on the broad first- \nfloor verandas, to which the beds maybe rolled directly from the \nadjoining rooms. It is believed that this represents a successful \nattempt to supply the community with a perfectly equipped \nprivate hospital in a healthful situation, and attractive in its \ninternal detail. \n\nThere is a training school for nurses connected with the hos- \npital,— the Massachusetts General, Waltham, Children's, New- \nton and Adams Nervine schools sending a certain number of \ntheir nurses in the latter part of their third year of training. \nSpecial nursing is provided by a corps of carefully selected \ngraduate nurses. \n\nVisitors are always welcome. \n\nThe Free Hospital for Women is situated on Pond Avenue, \nopposite the Riverdale Park, in Brookline. This hospital, fash- \nioned after the plan of the Woman's Hospital in the State of \nNew York, was established in 1875 by Dr. W. H. Baker, and \nwas first located on East Springfield Street, Boston. From this \ninstitution for twenty years came the teachings of Marion Sims- \nand Thomas Addis Emmet to the medical profession of New \nEngland through the Professor of Gynecology in the Harvard \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 133 \n\nMedical School, the surgeon in chief to the hospital. The pre- \nsent building was erected in 1 895, and has an ultimate capa- \n\n\nFREE HOSPITAL FOR WOMEN \n\n.city, when completely finished, of sixty beds. It is an incorpo- \nrated institution, being supported by an endowment fund and \nby the annual subscription of churches and charitable individ- \nuals. The object of the hospital is the surgical treatment of \nthe diseases peculiar to women, and only the poor are admitted, \nall the beds being free. The hospital has in connection with it \nan out-patient department at No. 633 Massachusetts Avenue, \nBoston, where a large gynecological clinic is held morning, \nafternoon and evening. The number of patients treated in the \nhospital in 1905 was 353. \n\nIn Newton is a large hospital of nearly one hundred beds, \nwith a mixed staff of regular and homeopathic physicians and \na training school for nurses. \n\nIn Waltham is a hospital, interesting very largely because of \nthe unique Waltham Training School for Nurses which is asso- \nciated with it. A most comprehensive course of training is given \nto nurses, covering four years. A large part of the course in \n\n\n134 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\ntraining is devoted to nursing in private families among the \npoor, under careful supervision of physicians. This is the train- \ning school which Dr. Alfred Worcester was instrumental in \nfounding and with which he has been connected from the be- \nginning. Waltham is the home of the American Waltham Watch \nCompany, one of the largest watch factories in the world, where \nthe famous Waltham watches are made. Over 3500 hands are \nemployed, and the plant is soon to be doubled in size. \n\n\nCAMBRIDGE \n\nA CROSS the river from Boston proper is CAMBRIDGE, the \n/ % \" University City,\" joined to Boston by five bridges. \n^ m. The river here is wide, and at high tide presents a \nbeautiful expanse of water. In process of construction is a dam \nto keep the river at a definite level and the water fresh. When \ncompleted in 1908, according to the present plans, it will give \nto Boston and Cambridge a large sheet of water of inestima- \nble value from artistic, hygienic and pleasure-giving points \nof view. We first come to Cambridgeport, largely a manufac- \nturing district, and through this we proceed to Cambridge \nproper. \n\nMassachusetts Avenue is the main street, and passes the \nCity Hall, the gift of Frederick H. Rindge. Just back of it, now \nmarked by a tablet, was the headquarters of General Isaac \nPutnam during the siege of Boston. Near by, on Cambridge \nStreet, is the Holy Ghost Hospital for Incurables. Established in \n1894, it offers seventy-five beds for the care of incurables, — a \nsplendid charity, and supported by private funds. Farther up \nMassachusetts Avenue, about twenty-five minutes' ride in the \nelectric cars from the Subway at Park Street, is HARVARD SQUARE, \nand the entrance to the College Yard, — the old College Yard, \ndear to all graduates, where glorious elms temper the sun's rays, \nand nod their welcome to the sturdy sons of fair Harvard. \nAcross the yard _V< *\\ \n\nare old buildings, \nrich in traditions \nand hoary with \nage. Massachu- \nsetts Hall dates \nback to 1720. \nHollis, Harvard \nand Massachu- \nsetts Halls were N- L- stMin!-, ph°to- \n\nHARVARD HALL AND JOHNSTON GATE \n\nused as barracks \n\n\n136 \n\n\nAMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\n\nby the Continental Army \n- during the Revolution. Be- \ntween Massachusetts and \nHarvard Halls is the \nmain entrance to the yard, \nthrough the Johnston \nGateway. This gate is in- \nscribed with the orders of \nthe General Court, relat- \ning to the establishment \nMEMORIAL HALL of the College in 1636. \n\nThere are many buildings to inspect, — some beautiful from \nlength of service, as Wadsworth House, 1726, once the head- \nquarters of General Washington ; others from an architectural \npoint of view, all of them rich in traditions and associations, \n— the Harvard Union, the gift of Major Henry Lee Higginson \nand Henry Warren, the Phillips Brooks House, Hemennmy Gym- \nnasium, Memorial Hall, Law School, the various museums and \nthe great Stadium. On the Delta by Memorial Hall is the statue \nof John Harvard, whose gift of \nhis library in 1636 made the \nreal beginning of the College. \nNorthwest of the College \nYard lies Cambridge Common, \nand west of the common stands \nthe famous WASHINGTON ELM, \nunder which, as every school- \nboy knows, Washington first \ntook command of the Continen- \ntal forces. Opposite the elm is \nEadcliffe College for women, \na part of Harvard University, \nwhich had its beginning in \n1879. The name Radcliffe is of \nsome interest. In 1643 Lady \nAnne Moulton gave the first \nscholarship to Harvard of \n\n\n'•mile Art Co., Photo. \nJOHN \n\n\nHARVARD \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON \n\n\n137 \n\n\n£100, and in grateful re- | \nmembrance of this, the \\. \nwomen's department was : \nnamed Radcliffe, Lady \nAnne's maiden name. \n\nClose by is Christ Church, \nbuilt in 1760 by Peter \nHarrison, who designed r; \nKing's Chapel in Boston. \nA milestone near the fence \nreads, \"Boston 8 miles, \n1734.\" As the only road \nat that time to Boston led \nthrough Brighton and Rox- \nbury and across the Neck, \nnow Washington Street, it \nwas indeed eight miles. \n\nFarther down Harvard Square, at Dunster Street, is a tablet \nmarking the site of the house of Stephen Daye, the printer of \nthe first book printed in English North America, the \"Bay \nPsalm Book,\" 1639; and still farther down Dunster Street, at \nthe corner of South, is seen the tablet marking the site of the \nhouse of Thomas Dudley, the founder of Cambridge. \n\nOutside Harvard Square are many interesting and historic \nplaces. Soldiers' Field, across the river, the gift of Major Henry \n\n\nTHE WASHINGTON ELM \n\n\nTHE STADIUM \n\nLee Higginson to the University, in memory of his classmates \nwho died in the Civil War, is the athletic field. The STADIUM, \n\n\n138 \n\n\nAMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\n\nDr. M. D. Miller, Photo. \n\nTHE LONGFELLOW HOUSE \n\n\nbuilt after the Greek \nmodel, is the gift of the \nAthletic Association and \nof the class of '79- Its \ntotal cost was $250,000. \nIt encloses a field seven \nhundred and forty-eight \nfeet long and two hun- \ndred and thirty feet wide. \nIt is a steel frame filled in \nwith Portland cement. Its \nseating capacity is 23,400. \n\nFor the Harvard-Yale Football Game additional seats are \nadded, with a grand stand at the east end, so that the seating \naccommodation is raised to 35,000. The graduates of both uni- \nversities, far and near, look forward to the Harvard- Yale game \nof football, and with their families arrive in Boston a day or two \nbefore the event. Proud mothers and comely, vivacious and \nenthusiastic daughters crowd our hotels and lend to our staid \ncity an air of unwonted gaiety. The undergraduates are noisily \nin evidence. Picture this gay throng of our country's choicest \nseated in the beautiful Stadium, the air vibrant with cheers and \nthe strains of martial songs, flags waving, hands clapping, as \nsome mighty hero in crimson or blue, with ball tucked safely un- \nder arm, dashes down the field. It is a sight, an experience, to stir \nthe blood of the dullest and thrill his innermost cerebi'al centres. \n\nSouth from Harvard Sq., \nand running west, is Brat- \ntle Street, the most beauti- \nful street in Cambridge. \nOn Brattle Street is the \nwell-known Longfellow \nHome, built in 1759 by \nJohn Vassall. It was Wash- \nington's headquarters after \nleaving the Wadsworth \nHouse, and later became THE LOWELL HOUSE \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 139 \n\nthe home of the poet Longfellow, and is at present occupied \nby his daughter, Miss Alice Longfellow. Some little distance up \nthe street is Elmwood Avenue, which leads to Mt. Auburn Street, \nwhere is the beautifully situated home of James Russell Lowell. \nThe Lowell house is also reached by Mt. Auburn Street. \n\nSouth of Brattle Street, and parallel to it, is Mt. Auburn \nStreet, which for a short distance runs along the river's edge. \nOn the left, overlooking the river and Soldiers' Field, is the \nStillman Infirmary, belonging to the University. Each student \ntaking courses \" \nin Cambridge is \ncharged four dol- \nlars a year for the \nsupport of the \nInfirmary, and \nthis entitles him \nto two weeks' \nfree treatment. \nThe majority of STILLMAN INFIRMARY \n\nsick students use the Infirmary when necessary. Next to it \nare the buildings of the Cambridge Hospital. Still farther on, at \nthe junction of Mt. Auburn Street and Brattle Street, is the \nbeautiful and peace-inviting Mt. Auburn Cemetery, the resting- \nplace of many distinguished dead. To wander along the beau- \ntiful walks of this cemetery is to meet the names of New Eng- \nland's most famous sons. The old chapel of the cemetery was \nconverted into a most attractive and serviceable crematory in \n1902. This is one of the two crematories of New England, the \nother being located at Forest Hills Cemetery. In 1905 there \nwere four hundred and ten cremations at these two institutions. \n\n\nTHE NORTH SHORE \n\nFOR many years the shores of Massachusetts Bay have \nbeen made use of as summer watering-places, both by \nthe inhabitants of Boston and the surrounding towns, \nand by people from a distance who are in search of a glimpse of \nold ocean and refreshing sea-breezes. Many are the arguments \nas to the respective merits of the North and the South Shores. \nTo the north are woods and rocks and cool breezes from off \nthe water; to the south are sand, stronger winds and a more \nequable climate, where it is possible to sit on the piazza during \nthe evenings unless, by chance, the wind fails and the tireless \nmosquito puts in an appearance. \n\nThe NORTH SHORE extends from Cape Ann, where the city \nof Gloucester — the greatest fishing port on the coast — is \nnestled under the protection of Eastern Point, safe from the \nfury of Atlantic storms, up to the city's limits at Winthrop. \n\nSome of the most beautiful and elaborate estates in the \nworld are to be found in Beverly Farms and Manchester, on \nthe northerly shore of Salem Harbor. Here forest and ocean \nmeet at sandy beach or rocky headland, and the wealthy Bos- \ntonian travels daily back and forth between his place of busi- \nness and his home, in his steam yacht or in a special express \ntrain. \n\nNearer to Boston are the more modest summer resorts of \nMarblehead,Swampscott, Lynn, Nahant, Revere and Winthrop. \n\nStarting for Marblehead, the scene of the Agnes Surriage \nromance, we take the train at the North Station, and select a \nseat on the right-hand side of the car, raising the window. Let \nour imagination carry us back to colonial times, before the \ndays of the \"iron horse.\" Sir Harry Frankland is speeding \nnorthward to meet his love: \n\nMake way! Sir Harry's coach and four, \n\nAnd liveried grooms that ride! \nThey cross the ferry, touch the shore \n\nOn Winnisimmefs side. \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 141 \n\nThey hear the wash on Chelsea Beach, — \n\nThe level marsh they pass, \nWhere miles on miles the desert reach \n\nIs rough with bitter grass. \n\nThe shining horses foam and pant, \n\nAnd now the smells begin \nOf fishy Swampscott, salt Nahant, \n\nAnd leather-scented Lynn. \n\nNext, on their left, the slender spires \n\nAnd glittering vanes, that crown \nThe home of Salem s frugal sires, \n\nThe old, witch-haunted town. \n\nMARBLEHEAD is a quaint old town, situated on the tip of the \npeninsula which forms the southern boundary of Salem Har- \nbor. It is a little over half an hour from Boston by the Boston \n& Maine Railroad. The town was settled in 1629. It has a fine, \ndeep harbor, and from being an important fishing and trading \nport has become the chief yachting rendezvous on the Atlan- \ntic coast. During the Revolution, Marblehead furnished over \ntwelve hundred men to the government service. Brigadier- \nGeneral John Glover, one of the bravest and most distin- \nguished officers of the Revolution, who died in 1797, is buried \nin the old cemetery on the hill overlooking Marblehead Har- \nbor. There is a statue of General Glover on Commonwealth \nAvenue in Boston. \n\nThe streets of Marblehead are notorious for their crooked- \nness. Apparently, every man built his house on this rocky \npromontory exactly where he pleased, without much reference \nto his neighbors, so that while one front door looks squarely \nupon the street, the next one will be at an angle of ninety \ndegrees, and the third house will be entered from the rear. \nThe oldest Episcopal Church in New England is St. Michael's \n(1714), a modest structure hidden away in a nest of wooden \nbuildings, not a stone's throw from the electric cars, which \npass through the centre of the town. \n\nThe Colonel Jeremiah Lee mansion (1776), No. 169 Wash- \nington Street, with its old colonial staircase, should be visited ; \n\n\nST.

The well of the \nFountain Inn, where began the \nromance of Agnes Surriage, cele- \nbrated by Edwin Lasseter Bynner \nin a novel, and by Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes in a poem, is \nto be seen at a point only a few steps from the terminus of the \nelectric-car line. \n\nThe Eastern Yacht Club, with ample accommodations for its \nmembers, has its house and landing stage on the Neck, and \nalso the Corinthian Yacht Club. A steam ferry connects the \nmainland with the Neck and also a good road across the cause- \nway. On the town side of the harbor the Boston Yacht Club \nhas a house and wharf. Both steam and electric cars connect \nMarblehead and Salem, some five miles apart. \n\nSALEM, fourteen miles to the northeast of Boston, on the Bos- \nton & Maine Railroad, was settled in 1626. From Salem came \nJohn Winthrop and his compan- \nions to the founding of Boston. \nThe town is noted for the perse- \ncution of the witches, and Gal- \nlows Hill, where nineteen witches \nwere hanged, is one of the chief \npoints of interest to the tourist. \nIt is on Boston Street, and is ap- \nproached from Hanson Street. \nWitchcraft documents and relics \nmay be seen in the brick Court \nHouse on Washington Street, fa- \ncing Federal Street. Salem was \nonce the chief port of New Eng- \nland, and controlled all the East \nIndia trade. AGNES SURRIAGE WELL \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON \n\n\n143 \n\n\nHAWTHORNE S BIRTHPLACE \n\n\nNathaniel Hawthorne was born \nin Salem, and his birthplace on \nUnion Street, No. 27, is still stand- \ning. The house dates from before \n1693, and belonged to Hawthorne's \ngrandfather. \n\nThe old Custom House, on Derby \nStreet, is the one in whicli Haw- \nthorne served as surveyor of the \nport in 1846-1849. On the easterly -~M&% \nside of the building, on the second \nfloor, is the room in which his fancy \nevolved the \"Scarlet Letter,\" and in another room is preserved \na stencil with which he marked inspected goods with \" N. Haw- \nthorne.\" \n\nThe Essex Institute, on Essex Street, where is a museum of \nhistorical objects, manuscripts ai\\d portraits, the largest collec- \ntion of its kind in the country, should be visited. Also the \nPickering House, No. 18 Broad Street, built in 1649, the \nbirthplace of Timothy Pickering, soldier and statesman of the \nRevolution and member of Washington's Cabinet. \n\nThe oldest house now standing in Salem is the Roger Wil- \nliams, or Witch House, corner of Essex and North streets. It \nis said to have been the home of Roger Williams from 1635-6, \nand is called the witch house because of the tradition that \nsome of the preliminary examinations of the accused persons \nwere held in it. \n\nREVERE BEACH is a part of \nthe Metropolitan Park System, \nof which Bostonians are justly \nproud. It is nearly three miles \nlong and is bordered by a \nboulevard connecting it with \nthe Middlesex Fells Parkway. \nBack of the boulevard are all \nsorts of amusement enter- \nprises, including \"Wonder- \n\n\nt \n\n\nSALEM CUSTOM HOUSE \n\n\n144 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nland,\" Looping the Loop, the Steeplechase and Roller Coaster. \n\nThere is a splendid State Bath-House here, which is man- \naged under modern aseptic methods, and is open to the public. \n\nThe beach is reached by a short trip over the Narrow Gauge \nor Boston, Revere Beach & Lynn Railroad, which skirts the \nshore all the way from East Boston. The station is at Rowe's \nWharf: trains every fifteen minutes ; fare Jive cents. The beach \nmay also be reached by trolley cars from Scollay Square or \nthe Sullivan Square Terminal of the Elevated Railway. \n\nThe METROPOLITAN PARK SYSTEM at the present time com- \nprises nearly ten thousand acres reserved for parks and twenty- \nfour thousand miles of parkways, in thirteen cities and twenty- \nsix towns of the Commonwealth. Some of these reservations \nare under the control of the cities and towns in which they \nlie, as in the case of Boston, whose Board of Park Commis- \nsioners has charge of Commonwealth Avenue, the Fens, \nFranklin Park, Marine Park and other city open spaces. The \nMetropolitan Park Commission controls fourteen reservations, \nincluding the Blue Hills, Middlesex Fells, Charles River, Ne- \nponset River and Revere and Nantasket Beach Reservations. \n\n\nTHE SOUTH SHORE \n\nTHE SOUTH SHORE includes the country from Quincy \nto Plymouth. Beyond Plymouth is the Cape, ex- \ntending to Provincetown. The resorts along the shore \nmay be reached by water or by land, including steam roads and \ntrolley. If we choose the land way, we must pass through \nQuincy, and this is most quickly reached by the New York, \nNew Haven & Hartford Railroad. \n\nThere is considerable of historic interest in Quincy, since it \nis the birthplace, home and burial-place of two early presi- \ndents,— John Adams and his son, John Quincy Adams. In \nBradford's diary of the Ply- \nmouth colony mention is \nmade of one Thomas Mor- \nton, who in 1627, expelled \nfrom the Plymouth Colony \nwith his boisterous friends, \nsettled at Mount Wollas- \nton, a short distance north \nof Quincy. Because of the \nmerry revels he and his fol- \nlowers had there they \nnamed it \"Merry Mount.\" \n\nThe Quincy quarries are \nstill worked, and furnish a BIRTHPLACE OF JOHN ADAMS \n\nvery good granite. Here was built the first railway in America, \nin 1827, to carry the granite from the quarries to tide water. \nA portion of the original roadbed, with the iron-capped granite \nrails and a stone tablet, may be seen at the crossing of the \nBraintree branch of the New York, New Haven & Hartford \nRailroad by Squantum Street, near the East Milton station. \n\nOpposite the Quincy railroad station is a solidly built granite \nchurch, the First Parish Church (Unitarian). This was built in \n1828, to carry out certain provisions in the will of John Adams. \nHe left granite quarries to the town, and ordered a \"temple \" to \n\n\n146 \n\n\nAMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\n\nbe built to receive his remains. In the basements are the tombs \nof the two presidents and their wives. The sexton shows these \nfor a small fee. In the old burial-ground near at hand are the \ngraves of the very early inhabitants : of John Hancock, father \nof the signer of the Declaration of Independence, of several of \nthe Adams family and of the Quincys. \n\nThe Adams Academy, a preparatory school for college, was \nfounded by President John Adams. \n\nOn the road toward Braintree, at the corner of Indepen- \ndence Street and Franklin Avenue, are two very old houses, \nbelonging now to the Quincy Historical Society, the gift of \nCharles Francis Adams. The smaller house, the older of the two, \nis the birthplace of John Adams, the other that of his son, John \nQuincy Adams. In later years the Adamses lived on Adams \n\nSt., the road to East Mil- \nton, a beautiful thorough- \nfare. The Adams mansion \nwas the home of President \nJohn Adams from 1787 \nuntil his death, and here \nthe President celebrated \nhis golden wedding. In it \nwere married his son, \nPresident John Quincy \nAdams, and his grandson, \nCharles Francis Adams, \nSouk jrt Co., photo. United States minister to \n\nDOROTHY QUINCY HOUSE _, , , T \n\nEngland. It is still occu- \npied by descendants of the Adams family. \n\nOn Hancock Street, facing Bridge Street, is the old Quincy \nMansion, known to us through Oliver Wendell Holmes's \npoem, \"Dorothy Q.\" The poet's mother was a granddaughter \nof \"Dorothy Q.\" \n\nBeyond Quincy, the way lies through a beautiful country, \nand some of the many towns are worth more than mere men- \ntion. The Weymouths contain some large estates, and in ad- \ndition the Fore River Works, where are building several ships \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 147 \n\nfor the navy. Here was built the largest schooner afloat, the \nThomas W. Lawson, a seven-masted steel schooner. \n\nHINGHAM is one of the oldest and loveliest towns on the \nSouth Shore, with its main broad avenue bordered by superb \nelms. It was the home of Dr. Ezekiel Hersey, the founder of \nthe Harvard Medical School. \n\nNANTASKET BEACH is beyond Hingham, and extends towards \nthe entrance of Boston Harbor. It is a long broad beach with \nfine sand, and facing the open ocean. It is a part of our Metropoli- \ntan Park System, and furnishes an ideal beach for the children, \nand with the steamboat connection with Boston is a favorite \nresort for adults. The bathing here is excellent, although the ' \nwater is cold, and if the surf is high may produce a dangerous \nundertow. The State Bath-House is well kept, and furnishes \nadequate supplies for bathers. The beach is reached either by \nsteamer from Rowe's Wharf, or by train from the South Station : \nabout an hour by boat, and the same by train. \n\nFrom the beach along the shore south, towards COHASSET, is \nthe Jerusalem Road, affording a magnificent drive by the ocean. \nLooking off to sea a granite lighthouse is seen rising straight \nout of the water. This is Minot's Light, a light of the first class, \nbuilt on a ledge submerged at high tide, and in the pathway of \nsteamers rounding Cape Cod. Visitors may reach the lighthouse \nby rowboats from Cohasset, and be hoisted in a basket to the \ndoor in the wall. \n\nBeyond Cohasset is SCITUATE, a popular summer resort. \" The \nOld Oaken Bucket,\" a song dear to us all, was written here by \nSamuel Woodworth. \n\nEgypt is of interest as being the country seat of Mr. Thomas \nW. Lawson. This is a truly magnificent estate, occupying old \nmarsh and stone-covered ground. The stables, well stocked with \nthoroughbreds, the barns, filled with \"blue ribbon\" cattle, the \nkennels, gardens, race track and deer park are gladly shown \nto visitors on receiving a pass, most generously given. Rambler \nrosebushes cover the white fences lining the miles of private \nroad, and a more beautiful sight cannot be enjoyed than these \nrosebushes in full bloom. \n\n\n148 \n\n\nAMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\n\nComing to MARSHFIELD we may see the country home of \nDaniel Webster, and his tomb with the epitaph dictated by \nWebster himself. We are now in close proximity to the old \nPlymouth settlement, and find many interesting historical \nlandmarks. In Diixbury are the supposed burial-places of Myles \nStandish and of Elder Brewster and the Aldens. \n\nPLYMOUTH is reached by train from the South Station. \nW7hen the reader visits this ancient town, the first perma- \nnent settlement in New England, let him reverently honor \nthose who in 1620 landed here and fought a desperate but \nwinning fight against disease, great privations and hardships, \nthat they might worship God according to their own beliefs. \nThe Bradford Manuscript, on exhibition in the State Library \nat the State House in Boston, gives a detailed and graphic ac- \ncount of the early years of the settlement. Copies of this have \nbeen made, and may be purchased for a dollar. \n\nClose to the water's edge by Pilgrim Wharf is the famous \n\nPlymouth Rock, protected \nby a granite canopy. In \nthe canopy are the re- \nmains of some of the set- \ntlers who died during the \nfirst winter of the colony's \nexistence. Towards the \ncentre of the town is Pil- \ngrim Hall, the repository \nof the Pilgrim antiquities. \n\nHere are the Elder Brewster and Governor Carver chairs, the \nPeregrine WThite cradle, the sword of Myles Standish, and many \nother objects of interest. Across the street is the County Court \nHouse, where the original records, deeds and wills of the Pil- \ngrims are preserved, and can be seen. \n\nThe small park overlooking the harbor is on Cole's Hill, \n\nand marks the site of the first houses. Here, too, were buried \n\nin unmarked graves those who died during that first awful \n\nwinter. Here are the very words of Bradford, written in 1620: \n\n\" But that which was most sadd and lamentable was, that \n\n\nPLYMOUTH ROCK \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 149 \n\nin 2 or 3 months time halfe of their company dyed, espetialy \nin Jan. and February, being ye depth of winter, and wanting \nhouses and other comforts; being infected with ye scurvie and \nother diseases, which this long viooge and their inacomodate \ncondition had brought upon them: so as there dyed some times \n2 or 3 of a daye in ye foresaid time : that of 1 00 and odd per- \nsons scarce 50 remained.\" \n\nIn the quaint spelling of the time, he describes how the six \nor seven well and sound persons administered unto the sick, \n\"spared no pains, night or day, but with abundance of toyle \nand hazard of their own health, fetched them woode, made \nthem fires, drest them meat, made their beads, washed their \nlothsome cloaths, cloathed and uncloathed them. — Tow of \nthese 7 were Mr. William Brewster, their reverend elder, and \nMyles Standish, their captain and military comander. — And I \ndoute not but their recompence is with ye Lord.\" \n\nLeyden Street leads to Burial Hill, where are many graves \nof the early settlers, among them those of Governor Bradford \nand John Howland. Here were the first forts for protection \nagainst the Indians. South of Burial Hill is Watson's Hill, where, \nin March of 1620, the Indian Samoset \"came loudly amongst \nthem, and spoke to them in broken English, which they could \nwell understand, but marvelled at it.\" A few days later he ap- \npeared again with Squanto and the great Sachem Massasoit, \nand from this meeting resulted a compact of peace which \nBradford mentions as existing twenty-four years later. \n\nAt the extreme north of the town is the National Monument \nto the forefathers, built on a hill, commanding a fine view of the \nharbor and town. \n\nBeyond Plymouth are the cape towns, well known summer \nresorts. At the end of Cape Cod is Provincetonm, prominent as \nGloucester in the fishing industries of Massachusetts. It is a \nquaint old town, with a large Portuguese settlement. Towards \nthe ocean side are the great sand dunes, Highland Light, and \nnumerous life-saving stations. The waters of the cape are very \ndangerous, with strong currents and many sand shoals, lashed \nby frequent gales. The trip to Province town and return is best \nmade by steamer, a most delightful sail in good weather. \n\n\nLEXINGTON AND CONCORD \n\n\nE~[INGTON is twelve miles from Boston on the Boston \n& Maine Railroad, and divides with Concord the \nhonors of the opening scene of the Revolution. \nApril 19, 1775, the British marched to destroy the military \nstores gathered by the American forces at Concord. They passed \nthrough Arlington and East Lexington, where there are several \ninteresting tablets commemorating events of the day, and en- \ntered Lexington, to meet their first resistance. \n\nNow a town of four thousand inhabitants, in 1775 not more \n\nthan eight hundred people lived here. At least ten of the \n\nhouses in existence then still survive, and are marked by tablets. \n\nThe interest in Lexington centres round the Common, \n\nwhere the plucky minute- \nmen took their stand \nagainst more than eight \ntimes their number. A \nboulder, marking the line \nof battle, is inscribed with \nCaptain Parker's instruc- \ntion to his men: \"Stand \nyour ground. Don't fire \nunless fired upon; but if \nthey mean to have a war, \nlet it begin here.\" \n\nNot far off is the Buck- \nman Tavern, where the \nminute-men gathered on \nthe morning of the bat- \ntle, and farther south, on a \nlittle hill, is the belfry in \nwhich hung the bell that \nsummoned them. \n\nAt the east end of the \nCommon stands a beautiful \n\n\nSTATUE OF CAPTAIN JOHN PARKER \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON \n\n\n151 \n\n\nstatue of Captain John Parker, by Kitson, one of the most sat- \nisfactory of the monuments about Boston. \n\nIn 1 799 there was erected on the west side of the Common \na granite memorial to the men killed in the battle of Lexing- \nton. Their bodies lie in a tomb at its base. \n\nAcross the street and behind the church, one finds the old \nburying-ground of the town. Another place of great interest \nis the Hancock-Clark ^ \nhouse on Hancock Street, \nwhere Samuel Adams and \nJohn Hancock were sleep- \ning when roused by Paul \nRevere. This house con- \ntains nearly all the rich \ncollection of the Lexing- \nton Historical Society. \nOther interesting places \nin Lexington are marked \nby tablets with historical \ndata, and on the road to \nConcord, which the British \ntravelled, there are two or \nthree other places of in- \nterest. \n\nEntering CONCORD, and \npassing for the time the \nliterary landmarks, one \ncomes to Monument Sq., tf. L. \na short distance from the \n\nBoston and Maine Rail- By O»e rude bridge (hat arched the flood, \n\nTheir flag to April's breeze unfurled, \nroad Station. Just before Here once the embattled farmers stood, \n\nAnd fired the shot heard round the world. \n\nit is reached, one sees the \n\nWright Tavern, built in 1747. Here the British commander, \nMajor Pitcairn, as he stirred his brandy, boasted he would stir \nthe blood of the Yankee rebels. From the hill nearly opposite, \nPitcairn watched the battle at the bridge. \n\nFrom the Square, a sign points the way up Monument Street \n\n\nMINUTE-MAN, CONCORD \n\n\n152 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nto the BATTLE-GROUND. Turning into a lane, with dark pines on \neither side, one comes to the monument which marks the site \nof the conflict. The setting is particularly impressive, and as he \ncrosses \"the rude bridge that arched the flood,\" looks at \nFrench's statue of the brave young minute-man, and reads the \ninscription on the monument, no American can fail to be moved. \nFollowing the retreat of the British a mile or so on the Lex- \nington road, to Merriam's Corners, one sees the place where \nthe enemy were attacked by the farmers and townspeople, and \nfled in confusion. \n\nConcord is rich in literary associations. Ralph Waldo Emerson \nlived here for many years, and died here. Nathaniel Hawthorne, \nHenry Thoreau, the Alcotts and the Hoar family all lived here. \nFrank B. Sanborn, antislavery man and author, still lives in the \ntown. \n\nStarting again from the Common and going up Lexington \nroad, one sees first the beautiful \nUnitarian Church, built on the same \nlines as the former church, which \nwas destroyed by fire a few years \nago. In a still older church, on the \nsame site, the Provincial Congress \nmet in 1774. \n\nWRIGHT TAVERN Across the street, a little way be- \n\nyond, is the house of the Concord Antiquarian Society, and far- \nther on the right is Ralph Waldo Emerson's house, still occupied \nby his daughter. About a half mile farther, on the left, is a brown \nhouse with a curious building on one side. This is the \"Orchard \nHouse,\" one of the homes of the Alcotts, and in the little build- \ning the \"Concord School of Philosophy\" met. The \"Wayside,\" \njust beyond, was at different times the home of the Alcotts \nand Hawthorne. The next house to the Wayside is the home \nof Ephraim Bull, who developed from the wild grape the de- \nlicious and widely cultivated Concord grape. \n\nReturning to the Square, one sees on the left the Hillside \nBurying-Ground, old and quaint, but not equalling in interest \nthe beautiful Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, where rest Emerson? \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 153 \n\nHawthorne, Thoreau, Louisa Alcott and her father, and many \nmembers of the distinguished Hoar family. \n\nMany other places in Concord are worth seeing, — The Old \nManse, the Public Library and Peter Bulkeley's house among \nthem. The village has been called the most interesting one in \nAmerica, and its natural beauties of meadow and river and \npeaceful village streets would alone justify a visit. \n\n\nPOINTS OF INTEREST REACHED BY THE \nBOSTON ELEVATED RAILWAY \n\nBOSTON is noted for the excellence, comprehensiveness \nand cheapness of its street-car service. The elevated, \nsubway and substantially all of the surface lines in \nBoston and the nearer suburbs are operated by one company, — \nthe Boston Elevated Railway Company. The fare is five cents, \nand free transfers are given between surface, elevated and sub- \nway lines at convenient transfer stations, so that it is seldom \nnecessary to pay more than a single five-cent fare to ride from \nany point to any other point in this company's territory of \nabout one hundred squai-e miles. \n\nConductors and other employees will be found very courteous \nin directing strangers as to the best way of reaching any de- \nsired point of interest. It is wise for those who are not famil- \niar with the system to ask surface-car conductors at the time \nfares are paid if transfer checks are required in order to reach \nthe point of destination, as transfer checks are issued in some \ncases only by conductors when fares are collected. \n\nBoston is the only city in the world in which surface, un- \nderground and overhead lines are operated by a single com- \npany. The Tremont Street Subway was the first subway to be \nbuilt in this country. The East Boston Tunnel is built under a \nportion of Boston Harbor, and connects the central business \ndistrict with an important section of the city. \n\nThe elevated trains supply the principal transit facilities \nnorth and south through the congested portion of the city. \nThe Tremont Street Subway is equipped with through north \nand south tracks used by the elevated trains, and two loop \ntracks used by surface cars. One of these loops is used by sur- \nface cars running to points principally to the west and south, \nand the other is used by surface cars running to northern and \nwestern points. \n\nAn elevated line, called the Atlantic Avenue circuit, runs \nalong the water-front, and is served by trains running to all \n\n\nGUIDE TO BOSTON 155 \n\nelevated and subway stations. \n\nThe company operates nearly four hundred and fifty miles \nof track and runs about thirty-five hundred cars. The cars are \nclean, comfortable and modern. The most enjoyable as well \nas the cheapest means of going about the city is by street car. \nThe number of attractive trolley trips for pleasure and sight-' \nseeing is very great. The park system of Boston and the Metro- \npolitan district serves both for instruction and recreation. A \nfew of the many points of interest that members should visit \nare given in the following brief list which includes only a \nsmall fraction of what Boston offers. \n\nMaps of the street-car system showing connections and \nroutes will be found at all elevated and subway stations. \n\nVisitors will do well to provide themselves with some one or \nmore of the excellent trolley-trip guide-books which can be \nobtained at book-stores and news-stands. \n\nNEAR PARK STREET SUBWAY STATION, reached by elevated train, \nor Park Street Subway surface cars. \n\nBoston Common \n\nState .House \n\nKing's Chapel \n\nKing's Chapel Burying-Ground \n\nGranary Burying-Ground \n\nNew England Historic Genealogical Society \nNEAR SCOLLAY SQUARE AND ADAMS SQUARE SUBWAY STATIONS, \nreached by elevated train, or Washington Street or Adams Square \nsurface cars. \n\nFaneuil Hall \n\nOld State House \n\nStock Exchange \n\nOld South Church \n\nQuincy Market \n\nCourt House \n\nBoston University \n\nNEAR BATTERY STREET ELEVATED STATION, reached by Atlantic \nAvenue elevated train, or East Boston Ferry surface cars. \n\nChrist Church \n\n\n156 AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION \n\nPaul Revere's House \n\nCopp's Hill Burying-Ground \nBACK BAY, reached by Park Street Subway surface cars. \n\nPublic Garden \n\nBoston Public Library \n\nArt Museum \n\nTrinity Church \n\nMuseum of Natural History \n\nHarvard Medical School, present building and new build- \nings \n\nMassachusetts College of Pharmacy \n\nSymphony Hall \n\nHorticultural Hall \n\nChildren's Hospital \n\nTufts College Medical and Dental School \n\nBoston Medical Library \n\nNew England Conservatory of Music \n\nWEST END, reached by West End surface cars from Copley Square, \nor by transfer from elevated train at Pleasant Street Subway to \nClarendon Hill surface cars. \n\nEye and Ear Infirmary \n\nMassachusetts General Hospital \n\nHarvard Dental School \n\nSOUTH END, reached by Washington Street surface cars.

The personal instruction is so exact and com- \nplete that the physicians taking the General and Special Courses \nmay go away with the capacity to make examinations and carry on \nthe treatment, operative or otherwise, that has been taught them. \nThe Hospital, which is under the same roof, contains two hundred \nand sixteen beds, and the material is used for the instruction of the \npractitioners attending the courses. A Special Course in Tubercu- \nlosis is given in the Dispensary devoted to this disease. The Labo- \nratory instruction in Pathology, Bacteriology and Urinary Analysis \nis of the best order. There are courses in Electro-Radio Therapeu- \ntics, in Ophthalmoscopy and Ophthalmometry, and Laryngology, \nwhile in general Medicine and Surgery the clinical instruction is \nample. Practitioners of medicine will find the course adapted to their \nneeds, while specialists in any department may give their whole \ntime to the subjects in which they are interested. \nFor further particulars, address \nJames N.

Rollins & Sons, \nof Boston, a brochure that ought to be in the hands of every woman. \nIt is called 'A Financial Courtship,1 and as the author, Governor \nRollins himself, states in his preface, was originally written at the \nsuggestion of his stenographer, who spoke of the need that women \nhave for a simple, concise book that will tell them all about in- \nvestments. \n\n\"Governor Rollins puts his information in the form of a story, \nthus making it interesting reading. But, in addition, his facts and \nsuggestions are clear-cut and eminently useful. He explains the \nmeaning of a mortgage, a bond, corporation stock, municipal in- \nvestments, Government bonds and so on through the list of con- \nservative investments. Any woman who has money to invest or who \nis likely to inherit money which she will be called upon to invest \nwill be well guided by this book. In fact, it would serve admirably \nas a text-book for young people of both sexes.\" Boston Journal. \nCopies of the above book will be furnished without cost on application to \n\nE. H.
