Highly unusual broadside/circular 6 x 16 (blank reverse); bold heading "FEDERATION OF JEWISH ORGANIZATIONS NEW YORK [with address] MAY 20, 1910" over bold title "HERE'S A HOSPITAL THAT DOESN'T WANT JEWS FOR DOCTORS." Reprinted (at greater length) from an article in the N.Y. "New York Evening Journal" of that date regarding the refusal of the Medical Board of the notable N.Y. City "NASSAU HOSPITAL" to accept the application for an advertised opening by any Jewish doctor. Full details; loaded with sarcasm about that hospital "…the Journal knows of nothing more stupid, insolent or disgraceful in all the annals of narrow-minded, bigoted prejudice than this revelation [by] the Nassau hospital… doctors' attitude preposterous…a cheap little institution [hurling] a foolish insult or rather a stupid piece of bad manners…such ignorance to insult…" and much more. Article ends suggesting that the facts they have presented should be given to the prominent Jews of N.Y. (that are named) who were major financial supporters of that hospital! Light aging; large aging and damp stain fills most of broadside, (not obscuring any print); very sound and complete
