HABITATIONS. 13 The two following plans show the arrangement of the LariboisiereHospital in Paris,1 which circumstances have made the type of the so-called block or pavilion plan ; and of the Herbert Hospital, which is thebest military hospital in this country, or perhaps anywhere. The Herbert Hospital at Woolwich consists of four double and threesingle pavilions of two floors each, all raised on basements. There is aconvalescents day-room in the centre pavilion. The administration is in aseparate block in front. The axis of the wards is a little to the east of is a corridor in the basement, through which the food, medicines,coals, etc., are conveyed, and then, by a series of lifts, elevated to the terraces in the corridor afford easy means of open-air exercise for the. i Fig. 74.—Lariboisiere Hospital at Paris. patients in the upper ward.

Mr. John Marshall3 has, however, advo-cated a system of circular wards, which he thinks have certain advantages, 1 The new Hotel-Dieu is on the same general plan. 2 The arrangement of the pavilions may be varied in many ways; for differentforms of arrangement, see the works already cited. It has been thought unnecessaryto take up space by inserting plans, which vary merely in detail. 3 On a Circular System of Hospital Wards, by John Marshall, , etc. London,Smith & Elder, 1878. 14 PRACTIC
