I believe that the song is about some sort of Insain asylum for women in the 1840's. In my eyes, it talks of the disgusting treatment of mentally confused women, then the horrifying treatments that was used upon the women. The women accuse the male doctors to be the reason why they are treated so badly. 'Filthy men'.
Many medical treatments back then were mostly experiential. So why not use crazy/people?
Leaches were used in many countries as a cure for many things. In some ways, this was known as bloodletting.
The nail in the head reminds me of a procedure from the Stone Age, if I'm correct of the eira. Scientists believed that they used to break a hole in the mental persons head, in belief that there were demons or evil spirits within that persons head, which made them go mad. By breaking a hole into the skull, the demons/spirits would be released. However, scientists believed that this would have often lead to death, which leads me to believe that the nail in the head is a similar procedure, as the women died after. This song tells me that the women in the 18th century were treated badly, especially the mental women. It talks about women having the mind of a child, the size of a squirrel.
