Children's hospital
Before the 19th century there were no children's hospitals as we now know them.  Sick children were looked after by their mothers.  There were orphanages, and foundling hospitals for children with no mothers.  The Foundling Hospital, set up in London in 1739, is one of the most well known.  Dispensaries, funded by donations were opened  to provide medicine and medical attention to families who could not afford private care.
