Extremities rubbed spine cloth chipped shadow of bookplate removed from front free endpaper; very good. Caldwell 1772-1853 was a student and at times a critic of Benjamin Rush and founder of the Louisville Medical Institute. He was one of several American physicians of the early nineteenth century who popularized the term "physical education" by which they meant the instruction of children in all matters relating to the body and its overall health. In this work which achieved national recognition Caldwell argues that physical education is an essential companion to moral and intellectual education for without it "man cannot attain the perfection of his nature." It should include "every thing that by bearing in any way on the human body might injure or benefit in its health vigor or fitness for action" including "diet cleanliness clothing atmospherical temperature respiration muscular exercise sleep and animal passions.

Unbound stab-stitched pamphlet 8 x 4.5 inches 36 pages. Illus. An effective advertisement for the Thomsonian botanic system of medicine a well-established ongoing enterprise at this point with much in the way of pointed humorous verses in the voice of the humble lobelia anecdotes about the follies of allopathic physicians and a sort of backhanded defense of women as physicians: "Altho' woman may be inferior to us in mathematical political and military talents; we cannot deny that they possess superior capacity for the science of medicine; and although men should reserve to themselves the exclusive right to mend broken limbs and fractured skulls and to prescribe in all cases for their own sex they should give up to women the office of attending upon women." Among the ads for Thomson publications and warnings against imitators presumably James Osgood's Thomsonian Almanac one finds a nice job printing advertisement for S. R. Hart of Boston at the foot of the last page. With 12 fine humorous woodcut illustrations. Drake 4230. Printed and Published for Dr. Samuel Thomson, and for Sale at his Medicine Store, unknown books

1880WRCAM56371New Haven: Hoggson & Robinson Steam Job Printers 1880. Broadside 9 1/4 x 5 3/4 inches. Minor creasing and edge wear light soiling. Near fine. A rare broadside touting the healing powers of Dr. S.A. Tanner who promises to "give the locations and symptoms" to any disease "WITHOUT ASKING ANY QUESTIONS." Tanner asserts that he uses natural "Indian Vegetables composed of Roots Herbs Barks and Buds" and specifically states that they would heal "lameness hip and spinal diseases." He offers free consultations and house calls as well. Dr. Tanner claimed an office at Apothecaries Hall in New Haven a long-running pharmacy and office building for area physicians. Dr. Tanner's services have the ring of medical quackery one of the defining characteristics of which was the absolute talent to cure any disease with Native American medicines. New Haven was a locus for purveyors of such miraculous "Indian" remedies. Hoggson & Robinson, Steam Job Printers unknown books

189063182Chicago IL: np 1890. Broadside 12 x 4 1/2 in. approximately 40 lines of text 200 words illustrated with 2 portraits one of Rolling Thunder and one of his wife and business manager. "Known to his family as Belmont and to the public as Chief Rolling Thunder Louis Belmont Newell was born around 1858 to Thomas Newell and Marie Parsons of Indian Island Old Town Maine. Newell appears to have married several times and his first daughter Blanche was born to Victoria Tahamont around 1886. It is around this time that Newell is first referred to as Chief Rolling Thunder and that his company the Kiowa Medicine Company begins touring. The show was comprised of "moral" entertainment and lectures given on the customs habits manners and religion of tribes. Newell would also sell "traditional Kiowa" medicines and give out health guides. It is uncertain when the company was actually formed and though Newell claimed that he was a descendent of the First Chief Medicine Man of the Kiowa Nation Teet-Toot-Sah this was most likely just for his public image. It is much more likely that his parents were Penobscots from Maine. Newell married Louisa Stump of Iroquois descent in 1891. Louisa was an expert shot and travelled with the Kiowa Medicine Company for some time. In 1894 Newell married his fourth wife Jeanne "Jennie" Congleton who served as business manager for the Kiowa Medicine and Vaudeville Company for many years. Newell died December 1 1933 and was buried in Randolph NY. More information on L.B. Newell has been compiled by descendants of Newell and can be found on Ne-Do-Ba a geneological website for the Wabanaki people." see the Smithsonian Institution SOVA site. <br/><br/> np unknown books
