ITS A FACT
By Miss Mary A.  Rothrock, R. N.,
Supt, Clearfield Hospital
Tha first hospital to the United
States   was built to 1660 in   New
"BifJt'-Clty.
It also was tbe first industrial
hospital to. the /new world.
The Dutch built it; they held New
York in those days. There were then
only 10,000 people to tin entire
province. The biggest industry waa
the Dutch West India Company.
Among the employees were soldiers
and West India negroes who often
fell sick.
Dr. Hendricksen Varrevanger was
the company surgeon. At his request the company erected the hospital at what is now 26 Bridge
Street The first matron was Hille-
tje Wilburc.h The building was torn
down about ten years later.
••.Industrial medicine goes back
many thousands of years. Ia very
ancient Babylonia the temples also
served as industrial establishments.
They employed many workers who
turned out wool, woven goods,
dairy prducts and  other necessities.,
Some ancient Babylonian kings
had physicians to make regular calls
on those workers. And the reports
of those periodic health examinations were sent to the king himself.
Whieh shows that the perodie
health examinations are not Beer at
all. If this .enlightened age would
practice that it would take a big
slice out of this country's yearly
three and a half billion dollar medical bills.
SPORTSMEN WILL MEET
The Bellwood sportsmen's
ciation will hold their regular
monthly meeting Friday night, at
S o'clock, to the Commesser building.
