Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Principles, Constitution and by-Laws of the California State Woman's Hospital, for the Treatment of Diseases Peculiar to Women: Inaugurated, May 1867; Organized, May 1868
This Hospital is founded upon the only true theory of Charity, viz Assistance exactly com mensurate with the existing necessity; assistance extended at the right. Moment, and withdrawn when no longer imperatively demanded; for that is not true charity which, by its dispensations, encourages disuse of one's own abilities, and a dependence upon the ability of another.
