crazy "cures" for insanity
Background is most of the entry on "Insanity" from an 1880 encyclopedia called Library of Universal Knowledge: the text is so fascinating, I left most of it uncovered. At the end of the entry it reads, "For disposition and treatment of insanity, see LUNATIC ASYLUM." (!!) The top picture is a 17th cent. German cartoon. The bottom one is from a 16th cent. painting by Hieronymus Bosch. Both are lampooning supposed "cures," by quack doctors, for insanity. (The whole postcard is worth blowing up to maximum size & perusing in detail...=smile=)
