"This physician wrote a few papers for the Los Angeles Eclectic Journal and later the California Eclectic and the Eclectic Journal ...and one textbook. He presumed, as a sensible rural physician (the typical Eclectic), that such a doctor should be able to make most of his or her supplies, medicines and even diagnostic tools. This book is as close to a basic workbook for low-tech physicianing as I have seen."
