Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital Patient Indexes

Arranged in two subseries: Subseries 1, Case Numbers, 1874-[ca. 1930], 5 volumes; and Subseries 2, Index to Patient Case Books, 1874-[ca. 1900], 4 volumes. Both subseries are roughly alphabetical by patient name.

This series consists of indexes to patient case numbers and indexes to patient casebooks created by the staff of Middletown State Homeopathic Hospital.

Dates for the indexes overlap as information was carried over from earlier to later volumes.
