Public general hospitals originated in the almshouse infirmaries established as early as colonial times by local governments to care for the poor. Later, in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the infirmary separated from the almshouse and became an independent institution supported by local tax money. At the same time, private charity hospitals began to develop. Both private and public hospitals provided mainly food and shelter for the impoverished sick, food and shelter for the impoverished sick, since there was little that medicine could actually do to cure illness, and the middle class was treated at home by private physicians.

Late in the nineteenth century, the private charity hospital began trying to attract middle-class patients. Although the depression of 1890 stimulated the growth of charitable institutions and an expanding urban population became dependent on assistance, there was a decline in private contributions to these organizations which forced them to look to local government for financial support. Since private institutions had also lost benefactors; they began to charge patients. In order to attract middle-class patients, private institutions provided services and amenities that distinguished between paying and non-paying patients and made the hospital a desirable place for private physicians to treat their own patients. As paying patients became more necessary to the survival of the private hospital, the public hospitals slowly became the only place for the poor to get treatment. By the end of the nineteenth century, cities were reimbusing private hospitals for their care of indigent patients and the public: hospitals remained dependent on the tax dollars. The advent of private hospital health insurance, which: provided middle-class patients with the purchasing power to pay for private hospital services, guaranteed the private hospital a regular source of income. Private hospitals restricted themselves to revenue-generating patients, leaving the public hospitals to care for the poor.

How To Keep From Worrying About Insomnia

When Sam Untermyer went to college, he worried about two affictionsasthma and insomnia. He couldn’t seem to cure either, so he decided to: do the next best thing-take advantage: of his wakefulness. Instead of tossing and turning and worring himself into a breakdown, he would get up and study. The result? He began ticking off honours in all of his classes, and became one of the prodigies of the College of the City of New York.

Even after he started to practice law, his insomina continued. But Untermyer didn’t worry. “Nature,” he said, “will take care of me.” Nature did. In spite of the small amount of sleep he was getting, his health kept up and he was able to work as hard as any of the young lawyers of the New York Bar. At the age of twenty-one, Same Untermyer was earning seventy-five thousand dollars a year; and other young attorneys rushed to courtrooms to study his methods.

We spend a third of our lives sleeping-yet nobody knows what sleep really is. We know it is a habit and a state of rest in which nature knits up the ravelled sleeve of care, but we don’t know how many hours of sleep each individual requires. We don’t even know if we have to sleep at all!

Fantastic? Well, during the First World War, Paul Kern, a Hungarian soldier, was shot throught the frontal lobe of his brain. He recovered from the wound, but curiously enough, couldn’t fall asleep. The doctors said he wouldn’t live long. But he fooled them. He got a job, and went on living in the best of health for years. His case was a medical mystery that upse many of our beliefs about sleep.

Worrying about insomnia will hurt: you far more than insomnia. For: example, one of my student-Ira Sandner, from 173 Overpeck Avenue, Ridgefield Park, New Jersey-was driven nearly to suicide by chronic insomina. Actually, it wasn’t insomina that was killing Ira Sandner; it was his worry about it.

Dr. Nathaniael Kleitman, professor at the University of Chicago, has done more research work on sleep than has any other living man. He is the world’s expert on sleep. He declares that he has never known anyone to die from insomnia.

The first requisite for a good night’s sleep is a feeling of security, we need to feel that some power greater than ourselves will take care of us until morning. Dr. Thomas Hyslop of the Great West Riding Asylum, stressed that point in an address before the British Medical Association. He said “One of the best sleep-producing agents which my years of practice have revealed to me-is prayer. I say this purely as a medical man.” “Let God-and let go.”

One of the best cures for insomnia is making yourself physically tired by gardening, swimming, tennis, golf, skiing, or by just plain physically exhausting work.

85. Which afflictions perturbed Sam Untermyer the most during his college ?
(a) His busy schedules and the fact that he felt sleepy all the time.
(b) His asthma and insomnia.
(c) The fact that he was a prodigy in his class, due to which people disliked him.
(d) His wakefulness and ability to work long hours.

Show Answer

86. Why has the author used the example of Sam Untermyer and his long, successful life in his essay ?
(a) To show that insomina can be a great handicap to anyone who suffers from it chronically.
(b) To show that insomnia is too small a problem, and it should be ignored completely.
(c) To show what a prodigious lawyer Sam Untermyer was.
(d) To show that even though insomnia is a problem, it is not so serious that it can affect someone’s success or life span.

Show Answer

87. What is TRUE as per the passage ?
