"We have laid before the public in the following work, the American Reformed Practice of Medicine ... as ... commenced by Samuel Thompson [that is, Thomson]. ... We have endeavoured to lay before the reader whatever is of practical value in 'Thompson's patent practice,' and also the various improvements which have been made by succeeding practitioners ... But, in doing so, we have been compelled to abandon the theory of life and disease as advocated by Thompsonian practitioners generally ... expressing our obligations to Drs. Beach, Mattson, Comfort, Curtis, Worthy, and others ... We are likewise indebted to several of our English physicians who have aimed at medical reform. ... In the Materia medica of this work, we have introduced a considerable number of the English herbs whose virtues have been well tested and proved."--Preface, pages iii-x.

First published in 1987. Even as the professionalism of medicine progressed, many sufferers continued to rely on what would now be termed "fringe" practitioners – quacks, backstreet surgeons, bone-setters, Thomsonian botanists, holists and naturalists. Many types of fringe medicine were popular in particular circles or reflected the political or religious preoccupations of their practitioners. Anti-establishment radicals might favour natural medicine, Christian Scientists would reject the medical aid, "Physical Puritans" would concentrate on homeopathy, hydropathy and vegetarianism to create health rather than counter disease. Some diseases, particularly venereal ones, allowed practitioners to play unscrupulously on the guilt of their patients. The end of the period saw professionalism establish itself in many areas, for example with the foundation in 1852 of the Pharmaceutical Society, and conflicts of fringe and orthodoxy became the fiercer. The essays collected in this volume all present new research on this fascinating and diverse period in the history of medicine.

Excerpt from Medical Botany, or Specific Remedies From Nature's Own Cures: Defending Botanic Practice of Medicine; To U. S. Congress This school of Allopathists was transplanted bodily and unchanged from the realms of the Old World despotism, never Americanized in the least, and still bending the knee to European authority in preference to American experience. It has striven to crush the more liberal parties by refusing collegiate charters, or by excluding them from all honorable positions. It is not the entire medical profession, but its intriguing demagogues, who have pursued this course. Unable to crush liberalism the party of medical legislation seeks to devastate all the vast territory of freedom out of which formidable rivals have arisen, and out of which they see uprising the phantom form of the medical science of the future, which is destined to be organized into medical colleges of the entire healing art, Medical Botany.
