It will help to pass the time away. It is very hard to endure this prison life, and know that my sons think me insane when I am not.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow unkind Mrs. Mills is today; does she think this sort of treatment is for the good of our health? I begged for milk today, and she can't spare me any; she has not enough for all the old women, she says. I don't wish to deprive any one of that which they require, but have I not a right to all I require to feed me and make me well? All I do need is good nourishing food, and I know better than any one else can what I require to build me up and make me as I was before I met with this strange change of condition. I remember telling the Doctor, on his first visit to my room, that I only needed biscuit and milk and beef tea to make me well. He rose to his feet and said, \"I know better than any other man.\" That was all I heard him say, and he walked out, leaving me without a word of sympathy, or a promise that I should have anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 42\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.09 x 9.02 x 5.98 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 01, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47417217548466,"sku":"9781979322164","price":14.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/26864fb37c13d90e9f96d7de22102c75.webp?v=1778424757","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/diary-written-in-the-provincial-lunatic-asylum-a-true-story-of-life-in-an-asylum-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
