The 1917 infirmary

Actually, I'm impressed by a company that actually had an infirmary in 1917 (mine doesn't to this day), and at least a doctorish-looking person to tend it.

Apropos of nothing in particular, the New York Times reported 6/21/1914 that a man claiming to have invented a superior method for producing rubber boots charged that Hood Rubber had had him confined to a psychiatric institution for over three years. Outcome of the scheduled hearing seems not to have been reported.
