Book excerpt: Excerpt from Medical Record, Vol. 71: A Weekly Journal of Medicine and Surgery; January 5, 1907-June 29, 1907 The increasing popularity of hospitals is due to the great advance of scientific medicine and sur gery in determining more accurately the nature of diseased processes, and the conditions essential to their successful treatment. New methods of analy sis and instruments of precision are more and more enabling the students of pathology to discover the ultimate elements of disease. The result has been the identification of large numbers of individual diseases hitherto grouped under one name, and con sequently treated in gross. These discoveries have enormously enlarged the field of Operative surgery, and multiplied remedial measures that must be ap plied with the greatest exactness. AS these revelations of the modern requirements of practice are in an early stage of development, we can but conclude that hospitals will become more and more the resort of the sick during the present century. Already the conditions of success in sur gical practice demand so much apparatus, and such precision in its use, that Skilled and judicious sur geons insist upon the removal of their patients to the hospital. Not less important is the hospital for the treatment of a largely increasing number of dis eases that fall to the care of the physician, and to the specialist. So impressed are practitioners with the necessity of hospital care of their patients that many are creating their own private hospitals.
