The Traveling Medicine Show: Pitchmen & Plant Healers of Early America
by Jesse Wolf Hardin
Plant Healer Press
Full color - 104 pages 8x11 - $24
Reasd the truth about the largely wonderful if oft maligned Traveling Medicine Show, the unfortunate shift from plant medicines to harmful pharmaceuticals, and the benefits and joys of resurgent herbalism in this modern age.... in a book as beautiful as it is fascinating, filled with over 500 lovely vintage and contemporary illustrations.
"Step right up, and please loan me your ears," a spiel might begin. "It is I, a doctor to the common people, your maestro of popular music and entertainment, alchemist of wellbeing and conveyor of necessary remedies for a well balanced and fruitful life... asking each of you now: when it comes to health and healing, who could possibly know better than Mother Nature?" The silver tongued speaker might be alone, traveling only with a wide range of herbal products in his painted wagon, or else part of a troupe that not only shilled but entertained. What followed, might be a "scientific" or medical lecture, a magic act, musicians or comedians, providing not only bottled remedies but also a darn good time
Although exceedingly popular from the early 1800s until the 1930s, the Traveling Medicine Shows and other herbal sellers were often unfairly maligned in their times, and today are most likely to be trivialized. Read here the truth about these alternative healthcare providers and their plant medicine allies, from traveling herbalist showmen like Indian John and the Diamond King, to the once best known woman in America, Lydia Pinkham. A large number of such folks were not only medicine sellers but also medicine makers, gathering or growing the potent plants for tinctures, decoctions, and tonics that could effectively treat a large percentage of common illnesses and conditions. Then as now, herbal nostrums provided a reasonable alternative to seeing a costly licensed physician and to the all too frequently dangerous drugs that they prescribed, for a majority of common conditions.
For the lovers of historic Americana, Steampunk sensibilities and wondrous curiosities, this book seeks to provide entertainment worthy of the early Traveling Medicine Shows themselves. And for anyone interested in herbalism, medicinal plants, personal health or the art of healing, it provides inspiration as well as information, feeding what is most certainly a new folk herbal resurgence.

Описание: Before Bill O’Reilly and Glenn Beck, there was Jesse Helms. From in front of a camera at WRAL-TV, Helms forged a new brand of southern conservatism long before he was a senator from North Carolina. As executive vice president of the station, Helms delivered commentaries on the evening news and directed the news and entertainment programming. He pioneered the attack on the liberal media, and his editorials were some of the first shots fired in the culture wars, criticizing the influence of “immoral entertainment.” Through the emerging power of the household television Helms established a blueprint and laid the foundation for the modern conservative movement.Bryan Thrift mines over 2,700 WRAL-TV “Viewpoint” editorials broadcast between 1960 and 1972 to offer not only a portrait of a skilled rhetorician and wordsmith but also a lens on the way the various, and at times competing, elements of modern American conservatism cohered into an ideology couched in the language of anti-elitism and “traditional values.” Decades prior to the invention of the blog, Helms corresponded with his viewers to select, refine, and sharpen his political message until he had reworked southern traditionalism into a national conservative movement. The realignment of southern Democrats into the Republican Party was not easy or inevitable, and by examining Helms’s oft-forgotten journalism career, Thrift shows how delicately and deliberately this transition had to be cultivated.

Описание: In-Depth Herb Profiles & Uses Edited by Jesse Wolf & Kiva Rose Hardin 504 Pages b&w - 90 Chapters - 75 Herb Profiles - Over 1,000 Illustrations - 27 Herbalist Contributors Softcover $45 featuring Kiva Rose - Phyllis Light - Rosalee de la For t - Juliet Blankespoor Christa Sinadinos - Dara Saville - Charles "Doc" Garcia - Elka - Sam Coffman - 7Song - Henriette Kress Sean Donahue - Sophia Rose - Leaf - Corinne Boyer - Sabrina Lutes - Wendy Petty - Jared Rosenbaum Rene Davis - Rebecca Lerner - Erin Piorier - Susan Leopold - Rebecca Altman - John Slattery Samuel Thayer - Christophe Bernard - Ramona Rubin - Jesse Wolf Hardin Presenting a wonderful collection of plant profiles and articles by some of the most informed and experienced herbalists of our time, 90 essays drawn directly from the pages of Plant Healer Magazine. Previously titled "Wild Medicine," this volume has been repurposed and expanded as a resource for practitioners with 50 new pages added including pieces on medicinal Cannabis, Gotu Kola, Desert Lavender, Spilanthes, Hibiscus, Goldenrod, and how to cultivate herbs. Materia is a Latin word meaning "matter." It matters to the herbalist that there is unwellness and suffering, and it matters whether we respond with herbs or with pharmaceutical drugs, and it matters which plants we use, in what ways, for which conditions and which constitutions. One's Materia Medica consists of the actual plant matter we utilize in our treatments, and its effective use is dependent on our understanding of it and its actions. For this reason, a Materia Medica is also a collection of profiles or studies, a collective body of usable plant medicine knowledge. Section #I of the book you hold features over 60 in-depth medicinal and edible plant profiles, with information on how to identify, wildcraft, garden, harvest, preserve, cook, or make medicines out of each. Section #II is all about herbalist ethos, practica and tips, wildcrafting and cultivation principles and means. The greater our familiarity with the medicinal plants we us, the greater our success will be in treating conditions and contributing to health. Such familiarity may begin or be augmented by reading and research, and then be deepened through clinical, personal, and hands-on experience. For that purpose, we hope this book of Materia Medica will prove a resource, an aid, and an inspiration.
Описание: Herbal Clinician Herbal Actions & Treatments, Diagnostics, Therapeutics, & Clinical Skills By the Editors & Contributors to Plant Healer Magazine 623 pages - 8.5x11" Softbound - Over 1,500 Illustrations 87 Articles by 25 Leading Herbalist Authors: Jim McDonald - Matthew Wood - Phyllis Light - Robin Rose Bennett - Paul Bergner - Guido Mas - Sam Coffman - Juliet Blankespoor - Rosalee de la For t - Aviva Romm - Christa Sinadinos - Katja Swift - Erin Poirier - Rebecca Altman - Sean Donahue - Charles "Doc" Garcia - M lanie Pulla - Henriette Kress - Sabrina Lutes - Cat Lane - Wendy Hounsel - Dave Meesters - Christophe Bernard - Kiva Rose & Jesse Wolf Hardin For the many years Plant Healer Magazine has published, and for however long it will make its caring contribution, the reasons for its existence and the efforts to create it are these: The propagation and empowerment of folk herbalism, the medicine of the people. Inspiring herbalism's practitioners and celebrating its many practical and aesthetic arts. Helping deepen the connection and relationships between human kind and the natural world, raising awareness about the needs and conservation of wild plants as well as about their safe uses. Raising the profiles of many of the most wise, intuitive, and experienced herbalists, so that more people can learn and benefit from the incredible body of knowledge that they have to share. And providing the skills and tools required to develop the most effective herbal practice possible. It is for this last purpose that we compiled the 87 original pieces for The Herbal Clinician, pulled directly from the pages of past Plant Healer issues. 25 different writers/teachers cover a wide range of topics related to seeing clients and treating their ailments botanically. While in no way complete or comprehensive, numerous areas are explored from a wide range of perspectives, including but not limited to: Diagnostics & Evaluations A first step in addressing any health condition is accurate assessment. You'll read about constitutions, tissue states, tongue and pulse diagnosis. Herbal Energetics & Actions Learn about herbal actions and properties, from demulcents to stimulants, tonics and trophorestoratives, as well as the energetics of the cardiovascular system. Treatments & Therapeutics Articles on organ systems including circulatory, immune, nervous, respiratory and urinary, plus female health from puberty to menopause, maternity and children, mental health and neurodiversity, treating animals, and first aid and external applications such as treating blunt trauma and soft tissue wounds, tackling parasites botanically, and topical application of herbs and honey. Clinical Skills & Case Studies Learn important practical skills and tools, herb selection criteria, drug/herb interactions, and more, and then read the enlightening case studies. Clinics, Business, & Practice Articles about teaching herbalism to both adult students and kids. Herbal entrepreneurship and making a living in the field of botanical healing. Community herbalism, nursing and herbalism, tips for beginning herbalists, and self care of the hard working practitioner. As with our other Plant Healer compilations, the pages of this book are taken directly from past issues of the quarterly magazine. One result is that some articles/chapters begin with a "Seeing People" or other department header at top, while other equally significant articles do not.

Описание: In a life or death situation, a police officer has milliseconds to make a decision that will affect the rest of his life. The flash of a gun forces Officer John Drake to make such a decision. Not only is the suspect killed, but a fellow officer is mortally wounded. Before the internal investigation can ramp up into high gear, the "Monday morning quarterbacking" starts from the press. Was the officer accidentally killed by Drake? Should he be charged with killing another officer? Politics skew the investigation and damn Drake, forcing him to take unorthodox action. The realistic fast-paced scenario follows what an officer experiences when lethal force is used.
