Writ Of habeas corpus--Dr. Guild--The Margin Op The Christian Herald, And Spectacle-case -- The Note Intercepted -- Davis Prosecuted -- Nearly Dead--T. Jones Saved My Life--Hunger. FEW days after I went there I concluded I would come out by writ of habeas corpus. I was placed in the extreme west end of the hospital, and through the window of my cell, eighth ward, could overlook the grounds they were preparing for the extension of the building. A white man by the name of Davis with some half dozen negroes were digging out the foundation. They had been digging there for several days. I talked with them through the grates until I got their ear and their sympathy. They promised me they would carry a note to Dr. Guild, an old friend with whom I lodged during the Annual Conference held in Tuscaloosa in 1879, if I could get it to them. So I wrote on the margin of my Chris6 "(81) s tian Herald to the doctor, and asked him to see Bros. Slaughter and Wilson and get them to see two attorneys, Powell and Wood, who had been recommended as able lawyers, and get them to come immediately and prosecute for me and bring me out. I prepared my note, but getting it out was the trouble. I found there were two grates, an inner and outer grate, and if I undertook to throw it out and it should strike either and fall on the sill of the window, I could not get it back or forth, as I had nothing with which to reach it. At length I thought of my spectacle-case, which was metal and heavy. I took out my spectacles and placed the note within and closed the case. I then looked to see if there was any one in the yard beside the workmen, and calling their attention, aimed as well as I could to miss the bars of iron. It struck the outer bar and the case opened, ...

Download and read online ebook Three Years in a Mad-House write by E. B. Fleming. This book was released on 2010-04-24. Three Years in a Mad-House available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. E. B. Fleming was in a heap of trouble. His business failed. His mind was gone. He had been committed, quite against his will-- incarcerated in the North Texas Hospital for the Insane, at Terrell, Texas. This book is his own true account of what transpired before and after his escape from the lunatic asylum. This book from 1893 will give the modern reader plenteous insights into life in the late 19th century. It gives a perspective on the treatment of the mentally ill from a patient's point of view. It immerses the reader in the racial attitudes of the day. And it depects a style of life in a largely agrarian America that has vanished for all time.

This book was released on 2007-07-30. Asylum available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "In his witty and warm history of Worcester State Hospital, founded in 1833 as the first state insane asylum in this nation, Dr. Enoch Callaway reflects not just on the events in this fortress-like place, but also on how those events parallel advances and failures in the field of psychiatry itself. He includes patient/psychiatrist vignettes showing treatment techniques of the period - from farm work to early electric shock therapy and insulin treatments that put schizophrenics in a 90-minute coma. In addition, he offers sharp insight into 'natural' treatments that showed remarkable results, as well as into unexpected recoveries stimulated by tools as simple as a hand mirror. At times, Worcester may seem brutal, at other times its simplicity seems pure and caring. There are marvelous successes, and times when the facility seems no more than a warehouse for the mentally ill. Callaway argues that this history offers lessons about the treatment - and options for better treatment - of the mentally ill in society today."--Book jacket.
