I was scanning the 1811 Censors report for Vaccines and came across the most amazing line ever!
In case you can’t decipher it, the piece reads:
There were some cases of mania and melancholia, one in December of Chorea St Vitis in a lady who endeavored, during the paroxysm, to bite her physician. He gave her a smart box on the side of her head which instantly secured decorum. Her hair was cut off, and by cold applications to her head she was speedily relieved.
This was a typical English punishment for someone being bad, and is referenced in Alice in Wonderland and Wuthering Heights. 
Off with her head!
