This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

George Henry Rohé was born in Baltimore, Maryland, United States, the son of John and Mary (Fuchs) Rohe, both immigrants from Bohemia (now Czech Republic).
He was educated in the Baltimore public schools, began the study of medicine under the preceptorship of Dr. A. F. Erich, and graduated M. D. at the University of Maryland in 1873. He then studied and practised dermatology in Boston under Dr. Edward Wigglesworth, 1840-1896
He served as assistant physician to the Boston Dispensary for Skin Diseases in 1876, and the following year returned to Baltimore to become assistant to his former preceptor, now professor of gynecology in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, where Rohe also served as lecturer on skin diseases. He entered the United States Signal Service in 1878, but three years later, settled once more in Baltimore, became professor of obstetrics in the College of Physicians and Surgeons, with which institution he was connected, in one capacity or another, until 1890. During this period he was editor of the Medical Chronicle (1882 - 85), associate editor of the Independent Practitioner (1882) and the Annual of Universal Medical Science (1890), author of A Text Book of Hygiene (1885) and Practical Notes on the Treatment of Skin Diseases (2 vols. , 1885 - 86), and coauthor with G. A. Liebig of Practical Electricity in Medicine and Surgery (1890). In 1890 he was appointed health commissioner of Baltimore and proved a capable executive, but resigned the following year to become superintendent of the Maryland State Asylum for the Insane, at Catonsville. Four years later, when a new state asylum was erected at Sykesville, he was put in charge, and in the new institution made a departure from previous practice by putting no locks or fastenings on either windows or doors. Dr. A. L. Gihon, who inspected this asylum, reported: "Here then the problem has been solved, so far as human intelligence can do it, of the humane treatment of those unfortunates, whose minds have gone adaft" ("A Modern Madhouse, " Philadelphia Medical Journal, Nov. 5, 1898, p. 976). Rohe was in advance of his time in his decided opinions with regard to the indeterminate penal sentence.
He is quoted as saying, "A prisoner who shows no evidence that he will cease to be a menace to the community should certainly remain where he can do no mischief; and, on the other hand, there is no common sense in continuing to confine one who has experienced an honest change of heart" (Journal of the Alumni Association of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, Baltimore, April 1901, p. 7). He was quite convinced that "if the State were to spend more money on modern insane asylums, less money need be spent on jails and penitentiaries" . He pointed out in several papers the connection between mental and pelvic diseases and advocated surgical treatment for the relief of certain forms of insanity in women. He was noted among his medical colleagues for his supreme confidence in himself, and there was literally almost no position or duty which he did not consider himself competent to undertake. He was president of the American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and of the Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland in 1893-94, and of the American Public Health Association, 1898-99. He was attending a meeting of the National Prison Congress at New Orleans, of which he was a prominent member, when death came to him suddenly, February 6, 1899, from heart disease. He had known the danger of his condition for more than a year, but had refused to curtail his activities.
