A SKY-SCRAPER HOSPITAL FOR NEW YORK.
A sky-scraper hospital of twentytwo stories has now been commenced in New York. It will be literally built in the air, with the windows of the wards far above the ,streets and the roar of the traffic, and the acme of modern hospital science, from the cellar to the roof. The greatest benefit is anticipated by reason of the sun-lighted wards and the pure atmosphere. It is estimated that ,this hospital will cost £200,000. Lifts . throughout supplant staircases. It is expected that the fees from surgeons taking post-graduate courses will defray the running expences. A service of electric motor cars will bring accident emergency cases from all parts of the crowded city.
