Joseph Mason Cox (1763-1818) was an early nineteenth century English physician whose entire professional career was devote to care and treatment of mentally ill people. Cox s maternal grandfather owned Fishponds, a lunatic asylum near Bristol where Joesph took over until his death in 1818. Fishponds continued to served as an asylum until 1859. Cox believed in kind and gentle management of the mentally ill and described hydrotherapy in both mania and melancholia. He described detailed descriptions of medications used like digitalis, derived from Foxglove, as an anti-maniacal remedy. Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802), naturalist and physician and grandfather to Charles Darwin, advocated for Cox s medical practices. Provenance: J. P. (John Putnam) Batchelder (1784-1868) was a New York surgeon and lecturer. He was appointed professor of anatomy in Castleton State College, Vermont, in 1817, and soon afterward professor of surgical anatomy in the Berkshire Medical Institution at Pittsfield. He was a successful surgeon, and performed many operations of great importance, and requiring extraordinary skill and daring. For many years he made the treatment of diseases of the eye a specialty. He was president of the Academy of Medicine, and of the New York Medical Association in 1858. He published Thoughts on the Connection of Life, Mind, and Matter, besides essays and medical treatises. He wrote one of the first pamphlets on the Cholera epidemic in New York City, Cholera: Its Causes, Symptoms and Treatment, Considered and Explained, 1849 . 1st American Edition.
