Excerpt from Suggestions to Hospital and Asylum Visitors
For several years I have been urging upon Professor Billings the need for a small manual suited to the wants of hospital visitors. I have many times been asked by laymen who have to manage eleemosynary institutions where they could learn how critically to inspect them with a reasonable chance of seeing what is wrong and learning how to value what is praiseworthy. It is useless to point the inquirer to the greater works on hygiene. These presuppose such knowledge as few possess who are not educated physicians. There is needed a condensed statement of what to see in a hospital and how to see it.
Every new domain of observation requires a peculiar and individualized training.
