"We are about to tell of a woman who has reached the top of the ladder not by hard study but through natural gifts. . She is a perfect diagnostician which is head among her many natural gifts.

The content much of it dealing with the inner workings of the asylum and its needs includes articles from Darwinism to Spiritualism and engages arguments with the definitions of insanity and the treatments then in practice. Some of the articles are tinged with humor toward the hospital's employees from poetry on the perils of working as a nurse in a hospital for the insane to running an ad for a wife for an official of the hospital.

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

A couple of small spots of damp-stain a bit roughly opened in a few spots with a small chip to the upper outer corner of the title page; a very good copy. Unbound stab-stitched pamphlet 8 x 4.5 inches 36 pages. Illus. An effective advertisement for the Thomsonian botanic system of medicine a well-established ongoing enterprise at this point with much in the way of pointed humorous verses in the voice of the humble lobelia anecdotes about the follies of allopathic physicians and a sort of backhanded defense of women as physicians: "Altho' woman may be inferior to us in mathematical political and military talents; we cannot deny that they possess superior capacity for the science of medicine; and although men should reserve to themselves the exclusive right to mend broken limbs and fractured skulls and to prescribe in all cases for their own sex they should give up to women the office of attending upon women." Among the ads for Thomson publications and warnings against imitators presumably James Osgood's Thomsonian Almanac one finds a nice job printing advertisement for S. R. Hart of Boston at the foot of the last page. With 12 fine humorous woodcut illustrations. Drake 4230. Printed and Published for Dr. Samuel Thomson, and for Sale at his Medicine Store, unknown books

Caldwell 1772-1853 was a student and at times a critic of Benjamin Rush and founder of the Louisville Medical Institute. He was one of several American physicians of the early nineteenth century who popularized the term "physical education" by which they meant the instruction of children in all matters relating to the body and its overall health. In this work which achieved national recognition Caldwell argues that physical education is an essential companion to moral and intellectual education for without it "man cannot attain the perfection of his nature." It should include "every thing that by bearing in any way on the human body might injure or benefit in its health vigor or fitness for action" including "diet cleanliness clothing atmospherical temperature respiration muscular exercise sleep and animal passions.
