3726180<p>New York. October 18 1887. 1p. Large 8vo single sheet. AMQS. Transmittal folds light creases; very good.</p> <p>Martin Luther Holbrook 1831–1902 was a 19th-century physician health reformer and advocate of vegetarianism who warned against unhealthy “flesh-eaters.†He authored and published numerous medical works under his own name. These titles represent only a small sample of his output: Parturition without pain; a code of directions for escaping from the primal curse 1871; Dr. Holbrook’s American Cookery 1881; Homo-culture; or The improvement of offspring through wiser generation 1899; and Hygiene of the Brain and Nerves and the Cure of Nervousness. 1878 among others.</p> <p>This 1887 AMQS finds Holbrook addressing the question “What is Wisdom†His answer is to “. go along the lines which Nature has worked out†invoking Ralph Waldo Emerson and the well-known phrase about “hitching your load to a star.†For Holbrook those who accept Nature’s forces help themselves by allowing themselves to be helped naturally. He concludes “To seek wisdom then is to see to use wisely nature’s forces.â€</p> unknown
