The hygiene of mind
The Hygiene of Mind is a 1907 medical treatise by Scottish psychiatrist Thomas Smith Clouston, published in New York by E.P. Dutton for physicians and general readers interested in mental health and the mind-body relationship. These four plates show nerve cells and supporting cells drawn with fine dotted labels, in a dry, precise scientific style. A designer might take from them the branching, radiating forms of neurons as an organic pattern for line work, network diagrams, or botanical-like textures.
