Quote of the Day

With all our boasted scientific advancement, our therapeutics is simply a pile of rubbish. While a few hobbies are literally ridden to death more rational plans of treatment based on the principles already worked out for us are but scantily utilized. The diet, the digestion, the chemical composition of food stuffs, the metabolism of water, the cause and treatment of constipation not by purgatives but by rational and natural methods, the physiology of sleep and the pathology of insomnia, all need to be especially studied in relation to their application to the insane.

 Charles Hill, President of the American Medico-Psychological Association.  1907
