Excerpt from The American Journal of Insanity, 1888-1889, Vol. 45: Edited by the Medical Officers of the New York State Lunatic Asylum Owing to the crowded state of this asylum several years ago, I had to send a considerable number of patients to other asylums, and nearly all these patients were much improved by the change. I noticed the same thing in a group of patients I took from another asylum. I firmly believe that with what we call our chronic patients, we should frequently shift them from ward to ward, change their occupation and subject them to new influences. Were I specially interested in any private patient I should, in the event of his not recovering speedily, give him a change of asylum. More interest is taken in a fresh case than an old one, and even change of sur roundings frequently stirs mental action hitherto dormant. I am stating what is, I think, universally accepted, when I say that the vast majority of recoveries in asylums take place within the first year of residence. I have looked up the returns both of this asylum for five years, and those of the Royal Edinburgh Asylum for a similar period. Taking the returns of this asylum for five years ending 1887, I find that there were 316 recoveries 233within the first year, 53 under two years, and only 30 above two years' residence; that is to say, per cent recovered within the year, per cent in the period under two years, and per cent in the period above two years. In the Royal Edinburgh Asylum in a five years' period ending 1886, 617 patients recovered 533 under the year, 51 under two years, and 33 above two years; that is, per cent in the first period, per cent in the second, and per cent in the third period. It is unnecessary for me to give further evidence of what is generally allowed to be a fact, viz.: that recoveries after a period of say two years are rare, and that recovery after prolonged attacks of insanity are very rare.

This is the first full-length biography of New York surgeon and social activist Stephen Smith (1823–1922), who was appointed to fifty years of public service by three mayors, seven governors, and two U.S. presidents. The book presents the complex life of Stephen Smith, a consistent figure in the history of public health, mental health, housing reform in New York, and even urban reforestation. Utilizing Smith’s writings, public records, and recently discovered personal correspondence, this research shows how Smith succeeded where others failed. It also acknowledges that Smith was unsuccessful in convincing his fellow professionals to fight for a cabinet level public health department or to resist the rise of custodial care for the mentally impaired. Given Smith’s many accomplishments, the book asks us to consider if what stopped him stops us, highlighting the relevance of Smith’s story to contemporary debates. Pestilence, Insanity, and Trees is a readable and well-documented narrative and a resource for students and scholars, filling gaps in the history of American medicine, public health, mental health, and New York social reform.
