lying-in

Columbia Women’s opened for business inside a former mansion as a “hospital and dispensary for the treatment of diseases peculiar to women, and a lying-in asylum,” according to its congressional charter.

This factory bank was "a great boon to the married women ... as a kind of lying-in club."

Surely these results do not support the idea that it is better for a woman to be confined in a street-gutter than to enter the portals of a lying-in asylum.

For all practical purposes 60� to 63� F. is quite sufficient, and surgical and lying-in cases do well in lower temperatures.

Suitable supplementary out-buildings for lunatics, and lying-in apartments, are on the same grounds; and the whole is encompassed by a permanent brick wall.
