Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1859 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXXIII. CONCLUSION. After perusing the foregoing historical sketch of the Boston Dispensary, one may very naturally ask whether the results accomplished since its establishment have corresponded in any degree with the hopes of its benevolent founders. We may easily reckon the aggregate expenditures of a long course of years, sum up the number of beneficiaries, and thus estimate pecuniarily the amount bestowed on each; but we can form no perfect idea of the good accomplished by such a charity in relieving the pains, quieting the fears, and promoting the recovery, of the sick. It is something to have ministered to the wants of a hundred and forty thousand suffering persons; and, though there may have been many unworthy recipients, the amount of good done to others is incalculable. It is difficult for one, who possesses the common comforts of life, to realize, until he is prostrated by disease, his own helplessness, and his dependence on the kind offices of others. How much less can one appreciate the desolation which pervades the dwellings of those who by sickness are deprived of the means of earning a subsistence, and are thus driven to seek relief from strangers! Whatever aversion we may individually feel in viewing the ignorance, the filth, and the occasional ingratitude, of the sick poor, their very helplessness is, after all, an irresistible appeal to our sympathy; and we contemplate with a feeling akin to affection the doings of a Society, which, during the past sixty-three years, has done so much for suffering humanity. To associations for supplying the wants of persons in health, many objections may be made which cannot be consistently urged against an institution conducted on the principles which govern the modern...
