Abstract

The article advocates for the establishment of an infirmary dedicated to the care of the blind and deaf in the provinces, highlighting the significant need for such an institution. It describes the profound challenges faced by individuals with these disabilities, emphasizing the emotional and social isolation experienced by the deaf and the helplessness of the blind. The author argues that many individuals suffering from vision loss are from the working class, making access to medical care even more critical. The piece calls for charitable support and the creation of facilities to aid those afflicted, expressing hope for the future establishment of such an infirmary in Montreal.
