Silas Weir Mitchell (1829 \u0096 1914) was an American physician, scientist, novelist, and poet. He is considered the father of medical neurology, and he discovered causalgia (complex regional pain syndrome) and erythromelalgia, and pioneered the rest cure. Mitchell is considered the father of medical neurology and a pioneer of \"evidence-based\" or \"scientific\" medicine. He was a founding member of the American Anthropometric Society whose purpose was to collect the brains of eminent scientists to further brain science. He was also a psychiatrist, toxicologist, author, poet, and celebrity in Europe as well as America. Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860 - 1935) consulted nervous diseases specialist Dr. Silas Weir Mitchell for treatment during her unhappy marriage. As one of many medical and scientific experts who debated \u0093the woman question,\u0094 he defended the notion of significant differences between the sexes and argued that an epidemic of neurasthenia, or nervous exhaustion, was rife among women who attempted to exceed their natural limits. After a month of treatment by Mitchell, Charlotte was sent home to continue the regimen of rest. Far from getting better, she became increasingly distressed and began to fear that the method was bad for her health. She decided to end the rest cure and her marriage. The Yellow Wallpaper was essentially a response to the doctor (Dr. Silas Weir Mitchell) who had tried to cure her of her depression through a \"rest cure\" and who is mentioned in the story: \"John says if I don\u0092t pick up faster he shall send me to Weir Mitchell in the fall.\" She sent him a copy of the story. His treatment was also used on Virginia Woolf (1882-1941), who wrote a savage satire of it in her novel Mrs. Dalloway (1925): \"you invoke proportion; order rest in bed; rest in solitude; silence and rest; rest without friends, without books, without messages; six months rest; until a man who went in weighing seven stone six comes out weighing twelve\".
