One of the first English texts to treat the subject from a medical and not just moral perspective Acton advocates a pragmatic approach to the inextinguishable trade emphasizing a need for regulation to protect public health and exploring its social causes and implications. He did not entirely avoid moralization but offered a more nuanced appraisal and argued that the implicated women were not to be foresaken but are "as worthy of improvement" as other criminals. <br/><br/> John Churchill and Sons hardcover

William Henderson 1810-1872 was a distinguished British doctor and fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh. He created a scandal by adopting the practice of homoeopathy. Hendersons book "An Inquiry into the homoeopathic practice of medicine" London 1845 contains a description and defense of homeopathy followed by numerous case studies and treatments. In response Doctor John Forbes published a critique of Hendersons book in the January 1846 edition of the "British and foreign medical review" entitled "Homoeopathy allopathy and young physic." The critique was viewed as overly favorable toward homeopathy and Forbes therefore resigned editorship of that periodical. Hendersons subsequent "Letter to John Forbes" appeared both in the "British journal of homoeopathy" 1846 and separately See DNB. All three tracts are included in the New York 1846 edition of Hendersons "Inquiry" each with a separate title page and pagination. <br/> <br/> William Radde and J.T.S. Smith / Otis Clapp / C.L.

1860234291860. Spanish colonial administration in Havana used port health regulation as a mechanism of commercial and maritime control with the Captaincy General directing military customs and sanitary officials through centralized orders. This December 6 1860 manuscript concerns the "Junta local de Sanidad" "víveres averiados" and Dr. Rafael Cortés placing damaged provisions public health authority and port enforcement within the same bureaucratic chain. The phrase "usando de las facultades que me competen" invokes the vested powers of the colonial government confirming that the matter was handled through Spanish imperial authority rather than local civic discretion.<br /> <br /> Gobierno y Capitanía General de la Isla de Cuba. Secretaría de Gobierno sección de Gobierno. Manuscript order. Havana Cuba: December 6 1860. Single folded manuscript document with printed colonial seal and heading docketed "Habana y Dic. 6 de 1860" and addressed to maritime or port authorities. The text instructs compliance with a petition or order involving the local Board of Health damaged provisions or foodstuffs and Dr. Rafael Cortés with official endorsements and large administrative signatures below. The verso bears docketing and filing marks consistent with bureaucratic circulation.<br /> <br /> The document belongs directly to Spanish colonial governance in Cuba where the Governor and Captain General exercised civil military and administrative power over the island until the end of Spanish rule in 1898. Its contents connect colonial rule to the management of ports food safety and public health all crucial areas in Havana's nineteenth-century Atlantic economy.

Visited the Retreat Saturday aftern. 8 September 1821.with cleanly appearance & admirable arrangement of buildings the Inmates looked far happier than could have been expected. The Matron & her husband have the most benevolent countenances that we had ever beheld." Light scattered foxing throughout else unmarked. An account of the groundbreaking work of the Tuke family and the Society of Friends for improving the care and dignity with which mental illness was treated.<br /> <br /> At a time when the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness was often inhumane William Tuke stepped forward in 1796 to found The Retreat. Its goal was to create safe pleasing and dignified conditions for those being institutionalized; and from its inauguration The Retreat kept its doors open to public visitors who may want to witness and document the conditions of its campus and patients. In the present work William's grandson Samuel Tuke publicizes the institution's "internal economy of management" as well as its "mild system of treatment." Transparency is key to continued progress Tuke asserts; and he wants the Retreat's successes to assist in further advances in the field. "The interests of humanity and science alike call upon us to communicate freely the discoveries we make or the failures which happen to us.If persons engaged in the management of the insane were more generally to publish the results of their observation we might reasonably hope that the causes of this obscure and affecting disorder would receive some illustration." While William Tuke's work remains revolutionary in improving method of caring for the mentally ill Samuel Tuke's book "helped popularise the approach.to use the moral treatment method for restoring self-esteem and self-control in individuals" suffering from a range of ailments Quaker World. As awareness of the model spread so too did institutions build on its principles with hospitals emerging in the UK and US. W. Alexander unknown
