Barker explains that the Medical Museum (Philadelphia) and the Medical Repository (New York City) were rare books in Maine that could not conveniently be purchased by young physicians. Because he was known to have an unusually good personal library, Barker was asked to excerpt some of the most extraordinary cases of consumption from those journals. For example, a twenty-year-old West Indian seaman died at New York Hospital with a diagnosis of phthisis pulmonalis manifested by extreme emaciation, cough, catarrh, and fever. On dissection the lungs showed no adhesions, no traces of organic lesions, and no inflammation. The physician was of the opinion that phthisis pulmonalis was “not always attended with tubercles and ulcers,” and that death was due to another cause. He suggested that in some cases the disease yielded to calomel, symptoms disappeared, but the patient still died.

In 1941 while in New York City I was fortunate enough to purchase an Armenian MS. which I believe will be of interest to students of Eastern Christian iconography.

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.
