Who was Henry Cotton?
Henry Andrews Cotton, MD was an American psychiatrist and the medical director of New Jersey State Hospital at Trenton in Trenton, New Jersey between 1907 and 1930. He embraced the concept of scientific medicine that was emerging among physicians at the turn of the twentieth century, which included a belief that insanity was the result of untreated infections in the body, and to treat them he directed his dental and medical staff to practice "surgical bacteriology" on the patients.
