THE DOCTORS AND RESEARCHERS NAMED IN THE ABOVE ARTICLE:
- L. Pasteur
Louis Pasteur is best known for inventing the process that bears his name, pasteurization . Pasteurization kills microbes and prevents spoilage in beer, milk, and other goods. In his work with silkworms, Pasteur developed practices that are still used today for preventing disease in silkworm eggs. Using his germ theory of disease, he also developed vaccines for chicken cholera, anthrax, and rabies.

Pierce engaged in the manufacture and sale of patent medicines and established the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. His manufacturing business started with "Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription", which he followed with other medicines, including Smart Weed and Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. His venture proved a success, with nearly one million bottles of Dr. Pierce's Smart Weed and other preparations shipped annually.

This information will be somewhat off the topic of Bloodroot in the context it seems most often discussed - as an herb generally not for internal use but for use in an external formula - like Black Salve. There are two points of interest here. First the one that is near totally off topic.
Many people instantly associate Bloodroot with Harry Hoxsey. Recently I viewed an old 3-day seminar given by John R Christopher in 1980. This equates to 16 hours of class time captured to film and eventually converted to DVD; a lot of herbal information provided. During the early part of day 1, Doc John was covering Alterative Herbs - blood cleansers. Put in perspective, dirty blood is probably an elementary condition which, once established, is a founding basis that allows a wide range of many illnesses - from the relatively benign cold/sniffles to most hideous cancers, to initially take root. Doc John spends considerable time covering, explaining, re-covering and emphasizing that one's blood supply is chief among the systems a person must consciously attempt to keep clean so as to keep healthy. A highlight of this emphasis is his Red Clover Combination formula.
On his own, so to speak, Doc John had developed over the years many herbal formulas. He generally did not shy away from making the recipes for his forumulas publicly known, nor was he well known as being the kind of person to "patent" his formulas. He did not promote his formulas as containing "secret ingredient" this, that or the other to be revealed to people among the public upon the condition of a person forking over copious amounts of $$. His Red Clover Combination formula is among many that he published in his SoNH Guide Book. During the aforementioned seminar, Doc John mentions how he had come to know two other people, who, coincidentally, had developed a near identical formula that they both confided, had come to them in the same way that Doc John claims he got this and many other of "his" formulas; from a higher source. The two other people in this instance were Harry Hoxsey, and Chief Sundance of Idaho Falls. In specific reference to Hoxsey's formula, Doc John said "with one exception, his formula was the same as mine. The exception was, he used an inorganic source of Iodine whereas I used an organic source as I always have strived to do". He did not say which specific herb/ingredient was the one used for giving this forumula it's iodine content, but he did say that Hoxsey's use of an inorganic source was the basis used by the FDA/AMA to then hassle and eventually shut down Harry Hoxsey. Doc John's Red Clover Combination formula contains up to 12 herbs. By implication, so does Harry Hoxsey's, but I am not familiar enough with his work to know or confirm this is the case. The Christopher formula is listed at below. It is primarily used by brewing & drinking in tea form. The basic instructions are - 1 ounce of the herb (herb formula in this case) to a pint of water, low simmered for 20-30 minutes (never boiled), and perhaps sweeten a bit with raw honey. The general advice is to drink 1 cup 3 times a day, adjusting this amount up or down as conditions may warrant.
Red Clover Combination formula:
2 parts Red Clover blossoms
1 part Chaparal
1 part Licorice root
1 part Poke root
1 part Peach bark
1 part Oregon Grape root
1 part Stillingia "queens root"
1 part Cascara sagrada
1 part Sarsaparilla
1 part Prickly Ash bark
1 part Burdock root
1 part Buckthorn bark The formula is taken either as a tea, 6 days a week, week after week, until the bloodstream is flowing as it should to bring health and give one more pep and energy. It can also be made into a tincture or extract preserved with Glycerin - taken 5 - 15 drops 3 times a day, or put into #0 capsules - two per day.
The second tidbit that visitors to this forum may find of interest involves a historical view of the use of Bloodroot taken internally. This comes by way of a book that was given to me a week ago: The People's Medical Advisory, by R.V. Pierce, M.D.. I would give the copyright except this book is old enough that "copyright", apparently, had not yet come into patented use in publishing. The inside cover does include a brief preface by the Author and dated "June, 1908", and also includes mention that this book was "entered according to Acts of Congress", in the year 1909, by the World's Dispensary Medical Association, in the office of the Library of Congress, at Washington, D.C. Just to give a broad flavor of the information contain in this small but well-bound, aged book (1008 pages), it begins with Part 1 - Physiology, that includes a chapter on Biology, followed by 12 chapters on Physiological Anatomy, followed by separate chapters on The Special Senses, The Mechanism of Life, The Brain/Mind, and Marriage. The latter delves into numerous sub-topics include Conjugal Love, Development of the Individual, Welfare of Society, Perpetuation of the Species, and Advice to Mother and Babe. Part II begins with Hygeine and from here the book increasingly gets down to the matter of directly relating medical advice. Keeping in mind the era of this work, this term "medical advice" clearly meant something significantly different from what the same term is used to imply or mean in the present era. Just one for instance: this book contains many references to "patented drugs", begining with the opinion of the author not sold on the idea of patented drugs as it pertained to lending further support to the kinds of people and industry interested in patenting drugs for the ultimate goal of profiting from this industry; the same allegation has since been made of the same author. Also of interest is the prominence of the use of herbs and homepathic remedies. Quite often, this book sets forth a given condition of disease or ill health and eventually follows with recommendations for treating same, more often than not by way of detailing two solutions: an herbal one; a patented drug one. There are frequently instances that the one or the other are mentined that they may provide more effective benefit if combined with the other.....hard to believe that it was only 100 years ago that herbs and patented drugs co-existed somewhat harmoniously :)
Part III begins on page 292 and is titled Rational Medicine. It briefly details the prevailing types "schools of thought" then existing in the collective field of "medicine" as seen from the author's view: Allopathic, or what the author said was "the oldest school of professional medicine"; Homeopathic "of comparatively recent origin, yet has gained a powerful hold upon the public favor. This part of the book quickly gets into documenting remedies for disease; a categorized list of medicines that includes Tinctures, Infusions and Decoctions, followed immediately with a list Alteratives that includes many pictures of specimen plants. These pictures are of relatively good quality given that era. It was of special interest to me that what this section of the book was referring to as "medicines" was almost entirely made up of medicines made from plants - herbs and conversely made up in very little part by formal, patented pharmacopic medicine formulas. Page 314 introduces the Golden Medical Discovery. Sounds ominous, doesn't it?
The section on the Golden Medical Discovery immediately follows the section on Quinine. Quinine is of course only a single ingredient isolated from a whole plant - namely Peruvian Bark. As of that time (1908), I do not know if Quinine was already being treated as though patented, or for that matter, whether or not it was being tightly regulated in other ways. Whether or not it had been patented is sort of beside the point. The point is, Quinine got a small blip of a paragraph. For all practical purposes it was already representative of a patented medicine method - medicine by way of a single ingredient isolated from a whole plant that itself, in it's wholesome natural state, contains numerous ingredients, and subsequently manufactured in bulk into it's isolated form. The section of Quinine in this book is one short paragraph consisting of 4 sentences. By comparison, it is simple enough to excerpt here in whole. Quinine (Sulphate of Quinia). Quinine is a tonic, febrifuge, and anti-periodic. It should generally be administered during the intervals between the febrile paroxysms. It is beneficial in all diseases accompanied by debility. The dose varies from one to six grains, according to indications.
The book was given to me by my mother. Near 80, she has about 30-years formal experience in nursing and approximately 60 years informally. Upon reading the above section to her and she interpreted some of the terms that tickled her memory banks. "febrile paroxysms" is a reference to spasms....quakes....miasmas, accompanied by (or attendant with) fever. She thought a few minutes and then said that she seems to remember Quinine once having gained some fame in the treatment of Yellow Fever.
The next section - the Golden Medical Discovery, goes on for 7 pages, fine print at that. This is a formula of 6 herbs mixed in pure water, pure glycerine and Borate of Soda. The section goes into detail on the medicinal properties of each ingredient. On a whim, I did a web search on this term and found several dozens of hits. Several of these hits starting not far from the top appear to be recent efforts to portray the Author - Roy Pierce, as a quack. In trying to get closer to what this is based on, the best I could find is that Pierce had been known as somebody who widely advertised the sale of his alcohol-based elixirs that he'd patented for medicinal purposes. Just trying to judge in comparison to other standards, I'm not exactly sure if or how this makes somebody a quack. In the present, there are countless widely advertized formulas of modern medicine that contain all manner of hazardous ingredients - alcohol least among them and in retrospect, could by comparison be considered a blessing if alcohol was the worst that they contained. However, the sponsors of such, at least publicly, by today's standards, are not called quacks but instead are characterized as gods and high institutions with monikers like FDA perched way at the top. Even back then in the late 1800s and early 1900s, J.D. Rockefeller was himself pushing all manner of snake oil on the road to seizing control of 95% of the oil industry by the turn of the centrury, control of the banking industry by 1920, and control of the combined education/medical industry by 1950. How often was he publicly portrayed as a quack back then? Even to this day, publicly speaking, many people still think of him as daddy, as in, who's your daddy?
Be this as it may, for posterity sake, the formula conists of : Golden Seal root; Queens root (Stillingia Sylvatica); Stone root; Black Cherrybark; Bloodroot; Mandrake root; Chemcially pure Glycerine; pure Water and Borate of Soda. This section begins by saying that this formula has gained "enviable reputation in malarial districts for the cure of ague....and it's action in teh cure of this and other miasmatic diseases....and that persons who are cured with it are not so liable to relapse or bad effects as experienced with other cures like Quinine, Peruvian Bark, Arsenic and Mercurials"
Quackery or not, it seemed worthwhile posting of a time when Bloodroot was used as part of a medicine taken internally. FWIW, the book indicates this GMD formula had shown good success curing various illnesses, including the range of those under the broad umbrella of "eczema". The book actually provides in-depth discussion of the various conditions, beginning with a preface section that emphasizes that this range of skin conditions often results from unsound diet. Included are 3 pages of slides photographs showing the various manifestations of the erputive skin conditions lumped under the term, to include a connection (kissing cousin ?) with Impetigo.
For those who've made it this far, here is a bonus treat stroll down memory lane.
Interestingly, this one shows a different formula aparently minus the "golden"...?
SUMMARY
PIGPEN is a cartoon character that depicts how germs are spread by everyone.
The Science World with the discovery of the Microscope has shown how there's a world of germs to be studied.
Many Doctors, researchers, and pharmacists have explored medicines for man.
The article is full of educated men who documented medicines in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
The Doctors who stood out was
Louis Pasteur.
Louis Pasteur is best known for inventing the process that bears his name, pasteurization . Pasteurization kills microbes and prevents spoilage in beer, milk, and other goods. In his work with silkworms, Pasteur developed practices that are still used today for preventing disease in silkworm eggs. Using his germ theory of disease, he also developed vaccines for chicken cholera, anthrax, and rabies.

Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
https://activerain.com/droplet/4BXc
During the 19th century the business of Proprietary Medicines thrived. With little to no federal regulation, just about anybody could call themselves a "doctor". There were hundreds manufacturer's of elixirs, blood purifiers, medicinals salves, and balms that cured every ailment under the sun.
These medicines frequently bore the name of the inventor, fostering a sense of legitimacy, and reliability. Having a bottle in your cabinet was like "have a doctor in the house". Most claimed to contain rare herbs, or roots from the Middle East or Orient, but usually only contained alcohol, or if your were lucky, an opium product.
So without T.V. or radio, how did these products sell? They brought the product to you via traveling road shows. A horse and wagon would roll into town with much fanfare. Towns people, who were mostly deprived of entertainment, got to see singers, freaks, magicians. In between acts, a physician would make an appearance and push his medical miracle. A "plant" in the audience would falsely testify how the medicine saved their life. Then "hawkes" would walk through the crowd selling bottles for 1-2 dollars. Each sales person would only carry 2-3 bottles, and would yell out "Sold out doctor", creating a buying frenzy at the front of the stage where the price was driven up a few more dollars.
When automobiles became popular, and road became mainstream, entrepreneurs would buy space on downtown brick buildings, and in the rural areas, on the sides of barns. Selling these medicines in rural area proved to be highly successful for several reasons:
- The population tended to be less sophisticated
- The distance one had to travel to see a real physician could be long if not impossible
- Less likely the population heard testimony from previous victims of these scammers
Dr. Ray Vaughn Pierce (1840-1914) one of the more successful 19th century Snake Oil Quacks. Dr. Pierce first started his pharmaceutical entrepreneurship in Buffalo N.Y. pushing his own "blood purifier" known as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. He, and his son, Valentine Motts Pierce (1865 -1942) ssuccessfully sold the elixir for 90+ years. This billboard can be found in other parts of the country, as I found researching this article on Google.
In 1906 the Federal Government passed the Federal Pure Food and Drug Act which required manufacturers of these products to state what the product was made of. This new regulation was hardly enforced, and if violations were found, and small fine was imposed. The pushers of these products considered the fines to simply be the price of doing business. Those that stayed in business benefited from the ability to state "approved by the Pure Food and Drug Act" which only solidified their place in the medicinal market till the mid 1900's.

It was mostly repackaged booze, wasn't it Jim? Or "snake oil." Nowadays you see the same sort of junk in health magazines, especially fitness and bodybuilding publications.

We used to get Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discorery up here in Canada also. His base in Buffalo, New York was just across the Niagara River from Canada and his product sold all through at least the southern part of Ontario up to Toronto. I read somewhere that he made appearances in the major cities like St. Catharines, Hamilton and Toronto since they were close to the U.S. border and once in a while, one of his bottles turn up at flea markets up here. When I was a kid, I found one, along with bottles from the 1800's, underneath an old carriage house behind a mid 1800's home in St. Catharines, Ontario. Today that bottle is part of my collection

Hello: About 35 years ago my son and his friends were swimming in a lake and diving for bottles etc. Among them was a bottle which contained Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. Down the side reads Buffalo NY and it has the number 20 on the bottom. We live in Nova Scotia. Is this of any value?

I just saw an ad for this in an antique newspaper from 1876 Nw Yok City. The add cracked me up so I had to look it up, and this is where I landed. They also sold them in the newpapers by mail, using patient testimony's that sound like it cures everything from a boil to a broken back.

Snake oil quack? How sad you would refer to a brilliant physician as a quack. I happen to own one of his books and to this day, it has proven invaluable. I find the deaths of nearly half a million U.S. citizens at the hands of "doctors" dispensing unnecessary opioids quackery. In addition, if something doesn't work, it doesn't sell for 90 years. Just ask big pharma....recall, recall, recall. I hold Dr. Pierce in high esteem.
