excerpt from ten days in a mad-house by nellie bly

a "commissioner" came one day, and made the rounds with dr. dent. in the basement they found half the nurses gone to dinner, leaving the other half in charge of us, as was always done. immediately orders were given to bring the nurses back to their duties until after the patients had finished eating. some of the patients wanted to speak about their having no salt, but were prevented.
