- Ellingwood was a hard-working Chicago physician with many
years experience, and an acknowledged expert in ob/gyn medicine.
What we would now call "a Networker", he was a vocal
advocate of women physicians, and edited Ellingwood's
Therapeutist for many years. His brand of Eclectic Medicine,
like a Chicago-Style pizza, differed a bit from the Cincinnati
style ("smothered, covered and chopped" - a regional
joke) as mentored by Scudder, Lloyd, Fyfe and Felter.
-
- This is a serious medical text from the early 20th century,
it was intended for practicing physicians and surgeons, and can
be hair-raising at times. Remember: No antibiotics, no cardiac
monitors, no CAT-scans, no blood-glucose stick tests, no sulfa
drugs, no machines that go "beep"...old fashioned physicianing
when heart monitoring was done artfully with a stethoscope and
physical diagnosis, not lab tests, was King. There is good now,
there was good then...but then, you KNOW that already.
-
- These files are organized in the same manner as in Ellingwood's
original text. I used to hate this format of his, but I have
come to understand a bit better why he listed them by organ systems,
even though most herbs have multisystemic effects. Several section
I deleted as they dealt solely with chemicals, but in the sections
that compare herbs and drugs/chemicals, I retained all the material.
All files are bookmarked Acrobat .pdf files
