DESCRIPTION:The Osler Library of the History of Medicine is pleased to anno
 unce the opening of its newest exhibition\, The Literature of Prescription
 : Charlotte Perkins Gilman and The Yellow Wallpaper.  A Biography of Neura
 sthenia in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries\nThis exhibition\, guest
  curated by Dr. Andrea Tone\, provides a fascinating exploration of neuras
 thenia\, a widely diagnosed but mysterious psychological illness\, whose h
 istory is brought to life through materials culled from the U.S. National 
 Library of Medicine\, the Osler Library’s rich repository of artifacts\, a
 nd the guest curator’s collection. The biography of neurasthenia is chroni
 cled against a broader backdrop that illuminates significant developments 
 in the rise of modern psychiatry\, varied forms of patient narratives and 
 activism\, and how gendered expectations can frame\, at times elusively\, 
 medical thinking\, diagnosis\, and care. \nThe Literature of Prescription 
 showcases the doctors who defined neurasthenia\, the remedies people purch
 ased to assuage it\, and the efforts of one patient\, The Yellow Wallpaper
  author Charlotte Perkins Gilman\, to challenge the legitimacy of the dise
 ase and the therapy her doctor prescribed.\nThe exhibition runs from Septe
 mber to April\, 2014 in the Osler Library and is accessible during Library
  opening hours (9 am to 5 pm\, Monday to Friday).  The Osler Library is lo
 cated on the third floor of the McIntyre Medical Sciences Building\, 3655 
 Promenade Sir-William-Osler.  Admission is free\nThis exhibition is co-spo
 nsored by the Osler Library of the History of Medicine\, 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ
