	Bedlam was the popular (slurred) name for the Hospital of St. Mary of Bethlehem, in London, for male mental patients. The corresponding institution for women was named after Mary Magdalene, which was slurred to "Maudlin." Bedlamite songs were extremely popular in the 16th and 17th centuries. "Mad Maudlin's Search for Her Tom of Bedlam", currently popularized by Tom Gilfellon, was published by Thomas D'Urfey in his Pills to Purge Melancholy in 1720. Related songs are to be found in Jack Lindsay's Loving Mad Tom(1927).
