PICKARD, Madge E. & R. Carlyle Buley THE MIDWEST PIONEER. His Ills, Cures and Doctors
New York Henry Schuman 1946 Second Edition Hardcover VG No Jacket
339pp. First published 1945 as a Limited Edition. VG copy in very slightly marked beige cloth, endpapers lightly tanned. This revised and corrected edition combines the pioneer records in contemporary newspapers, journals and diaries, plus years of study, to present the medical history of the people in its relation to their pattern of living. The medical care of the times was always a random pursuit and the authors describe the folk-cures on one hand and on the other, the emerging scientific approach to the treatment of disease. Quacks and patent medicine vendors hawked their wares while sincere men of science made their earnest contribution to the education, literature and regulation of the medical profession. A fine picture of the era - the Pioneer Doctor, who boldly faced the wilderness and the Pioneer, who bravely faced the doctor! Bibliographical Note and Index.
