    Reports on a scheme to found a model hospital in principal British and Irish towns for treating all diseases and 'any person or persons convicted of labouring under any kind or form of malady'. Cynically points out that youths with mild diseases will mix with individuals suffering from fatal afflictions and then be judged fit to mingle in society. Implies that this scheme will be totally ineffective in mitigating disease.
