Wait what's the difference between female disease, women trouble, and imaginary women trouble? I'm not sure which box to tick.

    Suppression of masturbation and excessive masturbation implies they consider some level of masturbation to be not just acceptable, but required.

    Suspending disbelief: How do they know?!? — both in terms of the correct level set, and what the masturbater is doing in terms of frequency.

    Overstudy of religion.

    Lol. You have to study it just enough to get hooked, but not enough to notice the inconsistencies.

    The Bible says you can beat slaves as much as you want as long as they dont immediately die or lose body parts,
    I guess they used rules similar to that, if it's in the good book it must be good

    This… doesn’t look real. That’s not language they’d use in that notably broad time frame

    Edit: this appears to be one of those “asylums turned haunted house” places. I’d be willing to bet this is a modern document they use for marketing

    "Parents were cousins" yeah that's barely notable in modern West Virginia let alone in that time period.

    Also, the Salvation Army only entered WV in 1883, seems to be cutting it a bit close to be notable enough to make it onto that list.

    The War

    Yes, The War is making us all very anxious and we hear nothing but horrible news about it all day long. Please stop The War. That's the only way we can ever be happy again.

    Look at the DSM nowadays. Psychiatry hasn't changed by a bit. They only consider "mad" those who do not look after pumping the LSC system. Unironically, those who do drugs, do crimes and look only for money are considered "sane" in nowadays society.
