Webmaster's Notes:

1. Fat and Blood: An Essay on the Treatment of Certain Forms of Neurasthenia and Hysteria, by S. Weir Mitchell, has been included on this site because Dr. Mitchell's famous "Rest Cure" was instrumental in changing the course of Charlotte Perkins Gilman's life, and, indeed, the infamous cure was cited several times by Gilman.

2. The eighth edition's original pagination has been included in this Table of Contents; the original edition contains an index, which refers to keywords in the main text.
