RISE TO FAME OF
S. WEIRMITCHELL
Wos Most Noteil Philadelphian
Since Benjamin Franklin.
LONG ACTIVE IN TWO FIELDS.
Celebrated as an Author and Physician.
Pursued His Investigations of Nerv
ous Disorders Along Original Lines.
Was Opposed to Asylums For the In
carceration oF the Insane.
The lute Dr. Silas Weir Mitchell, the
famous Philadelphia author and physi
cian who died in his eighty-fifth year,
long ago achieved distinction that
made him conspicuous in contempora
ry history as a man without either
predecessor or compeer in the varied
quality of his genius. lie was the;
most celebrated Philadelphian since
Benjamin Franklin.
Dr. Mitchell's fame both as a physi
cian and author was international, al
though he probably was more widely
known as a writer of fiction. His last
DB. S. WEIR MITCnTXL.
book appeared a few months ago un
der the title of "Westways." His first
novel. "In War Times.” was publi died
when he was fifty-three years old.
In 1802 he began his three years’
work as an army surgeon, having spe
cial charge of soldiers suffering from
nervous disorders and wounds involv
ing the nervous system. This was per
haps the beginning of a career that
gained for him a worldwide reputa
tion as a neurologist.
Dr. Mitchell explored fields hitherto
untrodden by any member of the med
ical profession.
“Health through repose” was Dr.
Mitchell's idea of curing nervous pros
tration.
An Interesting Anecdote.
An Incident, variously related, will
serve to indicate his eminence as a
physician. This is the' version as at
tributed to Dr. Mitchell himself:
An American, suffering from some
nervous disorder, journeyed to Italy to
consult a celebrated neurologist
“But you are from America?” said
the Italian.
“Yes.”
“Why not. then, take the vermiehelli
treatment?”
“What’s that?” inquired the patient
“What! You don’t know the treat
ment of Dr. Weir Mitchell?”
And the Italian sent the American
home to be cured.
The story as related by rnenas or
Dr. Mitchell is to the effect that the
physician himself while visiting Paris
suffered a recurrence of a nervous
ailment attributed to overwork. With
out divulging his identity, he called
on a specialist with whose name he
was familiar as being that of a map
famous in both hemispheres.
"1 see that you are an American,” j
remarked the French physician. ;
“ies,” replied Dr. Mitchell, “1 am.” |
“And from what city do you come?” !
‘‘Philadelphia.” said the visitor.
“And do you mean to say that you, a j
resident of Philadelphia, come to me
to be treated when there resides in
your borne city the most famous nerve
specialist in the world?"
"To whom do you refer?” asked the
author.
"To Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, of course,”
replied the specialist, “and to think
that you have never heard of him!”
An Enemy of Insane Asylums.
|n 1894 Dr. Mitchell began a crusade
against Insane asylums, saying they
were the worst possible places for tbe
insane. Life in them,was deadly; they
were Uke prisons, lie said. For many
years be pursued his studies of snake
venom, and be handled thousands of
rattlesnakes. As a side topic he took
np the subject of bumpn Aser of cuts.
He mBlatakud'that the* Iran many
persons who oould tell the presence ot
a cat sysn tf^wss^hhiton and unseen.
