Book excerpt: Excerpt from Transactions of the American Philosophical Society, Held at Philadelphia, for Promoting Useful Knowledge, 1825, Vol. 2 In the year 1805, he received from Mr. Jefferson, President of the United States, with whom he had been in habits of friendship, the unsolicited apc pointment of Director of the national Mint. This office he filled with great reputation until his last illness, when he resigned, and his son in law, Dr. Moore, was appointed by President Monroe in his place. In the year 1816 the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, in testimony of their approbation of his long tried talents and services, conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. That he should be a Fellow of the American Philosophical Society was a matter of course. He was elected in 1783, and remained an active, zealous, and useful Member to the time of his death. He was chosen Secretary in 1784, vice-president in 1799, and ultimately in 1819 raised to the Chair which had been filled by Franklin, Rittenhouse, Jefferson, and Wistar. His zeal for the interests of this Institution was always conspicuous, and he con ducted himself during his Presidency to the entire satisfaction of the Society.

First, "That the grounds of the Com- "mittee's choice of papers for the press, should "always be the importance or singularity of the "subjects, or the advantageous manner of "treating them, without pretending to an "swer, or to make the society answerable, "for the certainty of the facts, or propriety "of the reasonings, contained in the several "papers so published, which must still rest on "the credit or judgment of their respective "authors. Secondly, "That neither the Society, nor "the Committee of the press, do ever give "their opinion as a body, upon any paper "they may publish, or upon any subject of "Art or Nature that comes before them."

Download or read book American Indian Medicine written by Virgil J. Vogel and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2013-05-01 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book, says the author, is to show the effect of Indian medicinal practices on white civilization. Actually it achieves far more. It discusses Indian theories of disease and methods of combating disease and even goes into the question of which diseases were indigenous and which were brought to the Indian by the white man. It also lists Indian drugs that have won acceptance in the Pharmacopeia of the United States and the National Formulary. The influence of American Indian healing arts on the medicine and healing and pharmacology of the white man was considerable. For example, such drugs as insulin and penicillin were anticipated in rudimentary form by the aborigines. Coca leaves were used as narcotics by Peruvian Indians hundreds of years before Carl Koller first used cocaine as a local anesthetic in 1884. All together, about 170 medicines, mostly botanical, were contributed to the official compendia by Indians north of the Rio Grande, about 50 more coming from natives of the Latin-American and Caribbean regions. Impressions and attitudes of early explorers, settlers, physicians, botanists, and others regarding Indian curative practices are reported by geographical regions, with British, French, and Spanish colonies and the young United States separately treated. Indian theories of disease—sorcery, taboo violation, spirit intrusion, soul loss, unfulfilled dreams and desires, and so on -and shamanistic practices used to combat them are described. Methods of treating all kinds of injuries-from fractures to snakebite-and even surgery are included. The influence of Indian healing lore upon folk or domestic medicine, as well as on the "Indian doctors" and patent medicines, are discussed. For the convenience of the reader, an index of botanical names is provided, together with a wide variety of illustrations. The disproportionate attention that has been given to the superstitious and unscientific features of aboriginal medicine has tended to obscure its real contributions to American civilization.
