Hi I like Rick's idea but wonder whether phrenologists promised to cure all manner of physical ailments, or simply to determine character traits? Homeopathy certainly had a major hump in the 1800s (smoothed out by the averaging in ngram) and around 1900. Plugging in "leeches" does hint at the possible widespread use of blood-letting in the 1800s (as does the inclusion of "blood-letting"), hastening death undoubtedly in most cases.

Someone pointed out to me today that, if you add in the British spelling, "behavio(u)r" actually did surpass "mind" for a short period in the English language (book) literature. Interesting that behavio(u)r's heyday was closer to 1980 than to 1950, yes? [cid:[email protected]] Chris .....
