Lol back on topic........
I bring ou a box with the books some old picsm some keys a nurses watch, and a few personal items all tucked neatly inside. I slide it over to them and let them open it and remove items. I say nothing as they start to check out everything. this just gets them going and in the mood as some of the pics are dark indeed and you can feel the pain and torture of the lost souls in them. once they have handled the items I start in telling a tale of ..... if you treat them with an almost reverent air the participants will as well. |

This is still a popular effect, and for those considering purchasing, or those who have never felt comfortable adding their own handwritten notations for fear of inauthentic writing style or struggling with what to write, I have the following. I downloaded a sample of Texas Hero Font from here: http://www.oldfonts.com/texashero.html It's a digital typeface that mimics the classic look of nineteenth-century handwriting. Next, I wrote up what I wished to appear in the margins and printed out on computer paper. I then flipped the print-out over and proceed to rub pencil heavily over the back-side. I preferred a General's sketching pencil for this purpose. Placing this make-shift carbon-copy over the book, I then traced over the antiquarian style of print with a pen or sharp pencil. The result is nineteenth-century handwriting properly faded as though it is as old as the registry. As to the notes, I also found this online: http://archive.org/stream/amanualpsychol......mode/2up It contains a wealth of psychological notations on patients from the Luna time period. On the page I have attached, I inscribed through the above method, "Affusion of cold water produced shivering which lasted the whole day." Perfect for you know who. |

Hi keruptis, if you print it in reverse on wax paper you can transfer it onto another surface as the ink remains wet. You have to be careful as the ink can smudge if you move it during the transfer. Worth playing around with.

I'll have to experiment and see how close the printer ink applied in this fashion resembles aged manuscript. I had been researching homemade inks such as this site http://irongallink.org/igi_indexc33a.html , it contains a recipe from an English book of handwriting entitled "A Book Containing Divers Sorts of Hands, by John de Beau Chesne and M. John Baildon," and published in 1571 -- and then trying to find someone capable of period handwriting with a fountain pen. But your way sounds soooo much easier. |

Feel free to PM me if you have any questions. I have had a lot of trial and error with this technique. Good luck.

Many months ago when I first received the Lun@ Trilogy, I found and bought a neat little, inexpensive 1928 nurse's medical dictionary on the bay place which helped a lot in my mark ups, such as correct terms, medicines, equipment, treatments, use of Latin abbreviations for certain medical communication, etc.

Apparently the London Metropolitan Archives have copies of the genuine LUNA registries, there are interesting excerpts on Jack the Ripper I am sure many of you have already found located here http://forum.casebook.org/showthread.php?p=241074
There is a part of me that wants to post an odd job on http://london.craigslist.co.uk/ to see if I could get someone to go in and take more photos, perhaps more out of curiosity than anything else. Regardless, the link I posted above, http://archive.org/stream/amanualpsychol......mode/2up , has some real gems. Here are a few, but you have to dig through it a bit. 'cold shower on the scalp for less than an hour' 'she refused food, saying it was poison' 'violence may arise from delusion, is very morose, obstinate, and dissatisfied; angry at his confinement' 'restless by day, sleepless by night' 'greatly depressed; says her body and soul are lost' oh, and I loved this one: 'A strait-waistcoat was placed under him, to prevent self-destruction; but, after this, he bit off the end of his tongue.' Lots of material to fill up the book, including irrelevant cases, 'Insanity egressing from Hysteria.' I have five pages of annotations based on this disturbing window into psychiatry's past, if anyone would like a copy of what I used, feel free to PM me. |

Thanks for digging up the links above. For some reason the second one didn't work for me. I will have to manually re-search the site to find it. Whatvis the title of the book itself, I can't tell from the condensed url?
In the meantime, this has some cool tidbits... https://archive.org/details/39002086345726.med.yale.edu |

Thank you, Brynmore, for pointing out my malformed link.
http://archive.org/stream/amanualpsychol......mode/2up This one should do the trick. This is an 878 page tome call 'A manual of psychological medicine, by J.C. Bucknill and D.H. Tuke' containing the 'Lunacy Laws, the Nosology, Aetiology, Statistics, Description, Diagnosis, Pathology, and Treatment of Insanity.' published in 1879 by J. & A. Churchill, New Burlington Street, London. And a great find of yours, interesting reading. |

I would suggest that depending on one's version of the presentation of the Lun@ Tril, there is no need to write any of these comments in the regisfry. Rather, if one is presenting a routine of "guided visualization" and in which the spec is encouraged to imagine walking the halls of the hospital, the interior wards, their conditions, etc and then to imagine seeing the patient (fhat is about to be revealed), the patienf is described physically, a story of their background may be briefly included and the phrases listed here are then spoken to describe further details about that patient's treatment, demeanor and behavior.

I certainly do subscribe to the guided visualization encouraging the spec to imagine walking through the halls of the hospital, no question. I'm a firm believer that the storytelling element is the most important part.
Given that the book is clearly designed to be written in, it makes sense that there would be something written in 'Further Observations', or even in the margins beneath or beside the printed names. What I chose to do, was for a given page, highlight one patient. So under Further Observations, "A strait-waistcoat was placed under W1lbur S1mpson, to prevent self-destruction; but, after this, he bit off the end of his tongue." All written in nineteenth-century handwriting. I then, as in the suggested script, after asking the spec to imagine themselves in the room, in his mind, say, 'Rage, violence, anger at being restrained and kept in a padded room.' The notes act to elucidate the circling of 'padded room', 'restraints' and 'cold water baths' adding to the emotion of the revelation, at least in my opinion. On the same page, beneath the girl, I write, 'restless by day and sleepless by night', or, 'complains of cold', or 'refuses food', etc. Varying it on each page. One page I feature the sadistic man, another the sad woman, another the anxious girl, but notes are written on every page in book, even on the non-forced entries. Marking up the book in this fashion results in additional hits on each page, some hits more profound than others depending on which patient is 'featured' in the 'Further Observations', and which room the spec has chosen. Of course, marking up the book is a personal choice, and where some may have been reluctant to do so not knowing what to write, the 1879 Manual of psychological medicine is replete with period case histories. |
