A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

While a civil engineer and government surveyor of public lands the author became familiar with the workings of the land and Indian bureaus of the interior department in Washington, D. C, and incidentally the other offices of general, state and territorial control, and realizing the impossibility of doing conscientious work while associated with the politicians who filled most of the places, in 1873 the field of medicine wa substituted, and after graduation a specialty was made of nervous and mental disease. In order to further such studies the author secured a position as pathologist to the Chicago County Insane A sylum, and during three years service there and later as superintendent of the Illinois Eastern Hospital for the Insane he discovered that the politics controlling such places was inexpressibly worse than what he found elsewhere. As reform endeavors availed nothing, a determination was made to discover the reasons for the too frequent brutalities in public charity institutions, and the apathy of citizens concerning them. The studies expanded into this volume, passing far beyond their original bounds, but rigidly confined to this world, with only incidental mention of anything beyond ;though by inference the earth is but a small portion of the universe.
