The Alabama Insane Hospital was conceived under the influence of Dorothea Dix instrumental in the selection of Dr. Peter Bryce as its first superintendent in 1860 and Thomas Story Kirkbride its architect. Bryce 1834-1892 who had studied progressive ideas of treating the insane in Europe would head the institution until his death. The perennially underfunded hospital would prove self sufficient employing the patients to provide food heat and this newspaper both the editorial work and the printing process among other services reflecting the progressive belief of the time that activity settled the mind. Bryce and the hospital became known for innovative treatment of the mentally ill using a "therapeutic approach to treatment so called for its supposed ability to lead patients to an understanding and acceptance of 'right behavior'." The hospital accepted African-American patients including one who had been owned by Dr. Bryce but despite its progressive reputation in treatment the hospital showed the prejudices of the time by separating the patients by race. <br/><br/> Alabama Insane Hospital unknown books

However the field of pharmacology was unregulated and otherwise-effective prescriptions were often corrupted by inaccurate dosages or ersatz ingredients. The founding of the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy PCP in the 1800s is recognized as a radical first step forward in the development of a system of pharmaceutical practice in the United States. On March 13 1821 68 pharmacists signed the Constitution of the first pharmaceutical association in the United States in the Carpenters' Hall the same room as where the founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence. The symbolism of the Carpenters' Hall backdrop was clear: American pharmacy would be following in the footsteps of the founding fathers and their constitutional framework. The PCP constitution included a strict code of ethics that would expel anyone from the college who adulterated medications and provided for a committee of inspection to verify the purity safety and effectiveness of medicines and a committee of equity to arbitrate disputes between member pharmacists. In 1824 the PCP published "carefully determined formulas" for the fabrication of formerly "secret-formula" patent medicines imported from the UK an essential step toward self-sufficient pharmaceutical manufacturing in the U.S. WSU History of Pharmacy. unknown books
