Book excerpt: Excerpt from Suggestions to Hospital and Asylum Visitors This guide to the hospital visitor I have asked leave to introduce. It has cost an amount of care and thought out of propor tion to its size. While in manuscript it was critically read by Professors J. M. Da Costa, J. William White, and myself, and cer tain changes or additions were suggested. Finally, Dr. Hurd, the accomplished director of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, was kind enough to associate himself with Professor Billings and to take the utmost interest in the work. Out of their joint labor and the criticism of able physicians and nurses has come at last the helpful little book which originated in my suggestion, and which I confidently commend to all who, being man agers, trustees, or in any way connected with hospital work, are not contented to assume an official name and remain ignorant of how honestly to fulfil the duties which should go with it.
