| Summary: | Flier discussing the procedure for taking new patients to Bryce Hospital in Tuscaloosa. It also mentions the cost of room and board; items that are permitted ("sufficiency of comfortable clothing" and "remembrances from home") and prohibited ("articles of value" and "articles of danger"); and the location of the hospital. Emphasis is placed on humane and considerate treatment: "Let the patient, whom you bring, distinctly know where he (or she) is going. A patient seldom forgets being deceived in that particular; and it affects many injuriously, when they hold it as a grievance afterwards." |
