Another died in an institution for incurables. All forfeited their birthright of home, family, decent associations and ended up in degradation and wreckage. That was one of the remote consequences. Let us take a more usual example, much less extreme the young man who steps on the throttle of his automobile because he feels like going fast.
It's as bad as living within sound of the elevated railway. And at night the frogs on the land side of the house add to the racket and make a row like a factory in full blast. I'd rather be condemned to a hospital for incurables than live on a dune." He said all this with the sort of hysteria that she had never noticed in him before. He was indeed far from well. Hardly, in fact, recognizable.
We glimpsed along among the old marbles, Elgin and others, which are esteemed such treasures of art; the oddest fragments, many of them smashed by their fall from high places, or by being pounded to pieces by barbarians, or gnawed away by time; the surface roughened by being rained upon for thousands of years; almost always a nose knocked off; sometimes a headless form; a great deficiency of feet and hands, poor, maimed veterans in this hospital of incurables.
The Bankside consists of certain houses so called from their lying on the south bank of the Thames to the westward of the bridge. The public buildings in this ward are, St. Thomas's Church and Hospital, Guy's Hospital for Incurables, the church of St. Saviour, the church of St. Olave, and that of St.

The community is tired of the reproaches of foreigners, and of the more serious evils of homes desolated by disease, and lives turned to tragedies. Morbid anatomy has long enough served as a type of feminine loveliness; our polite society has long enough been a series of soirées of incurables. Health is coming into fashion.
Of these, the New York State Inebriate Asylum, at Binghampton; the Inebriate Home, at Fort Hamilton, Long Island; and the Home for Incurables, San Francisco, Cal., are the most prominent. At Hartford, Conn., the Walnut Hill Asylum has recently been opened for the treatment of inebriate and opium cases, under the care of Dr. T.D. Crothers.
There was a reason for this as Margaret MacLean put it once in paraphrase: "Children come and children go, but we stay on for ever." Trustee Day was an abiding memory only with the incurables; which meant that twelve times a year at the end of every month Ward C cried itself to sleep. Spring could not have begun the day better.
No, of course you don't; why, even in the city papers it only filled an inch or two of type, and anyway the names were hard to remember. That was Jeff's money part of it. Mullins got the telegram, from a broker or someone, and he showed it to Jeff just as he was going up the street with an estate agent to look at a big empty lot on the hill behind the town the very place for these incurables.
Evidently some were in the nature of hospitals for incurables, for there were special clauses in the deeds of gift providing that a certain specified number of beds were to be kept for the sick until they were either cured or released by death.
