`  == Dubious toe claim ==  I've added the dubious tag to the toe claim because:  * Given Cartwright's paternalistic attitude it seems implausible he would prescribe it. * Szasz is not unbiased; besides, almost everyone is somewhat biased against racists.  Szasz is, anyway, not a primary source. * It seems like all sources regarding drapetomania are actually secondary to one paper published by Cartwright.  My guess is that toes of runaway slaves were amputated, perhaps as ``treatment`` for drapetomania, but that Cartwright himself never prescribed this.  Anyway, perhaps I will check local libraries for the Szasz book, and try to find his source.  No promises though. – `
