Samuel Thomson, born in New Hampshire in 1769 to an illiterate farming family, had no formal education, but he learned the elements of botanical medicine from a "root doctor," who he met in his youth. Thomson sought to release patients from the harsh bleeding or purging regimens of regular physicians by offering inexpensive and gentle medicines from their own fields and gardens. He melded his followers into a militant corps of dedicated believers, using them to successfully lobby state legislatures to pass medical acts favorable to their cause. John S. Haller Jr. points out that Thomson began his studies by ministering to his own family. He started his professional career as an itinerant healer traveling a circuit among the small towns and villages of Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. Eventually, he transformed his medical practice into a successful business enterprise with agents selling several hundred thousand rights or franchises to his system. His popular New Guide to Health (1822) went through thirteen editions, including one in German, and countless thousands were reprinted without permission. Told here for the first time, Haller's history of Thomsonism recounts the division within this American medical sect in the last century. While many Thomsonians displayed a powerful, vested interest in anti-intellectualism, a growing number found respectability through the establishment of medical colleges and a certified profession of botanical doctors. The People's Doctors covers seventy years, from 1790, when Thomson began his practice on his own family, until 1860, when much of Thomson's medical domain had been captured by the more liberal Eclectics. Eighteen halftones illustrate this volume.

"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.

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.
