This is a wonderfully informative, though often unsettling, reminder that today's American medical practice, based on enlightened science, rigorous medical education, and sound public health policies, is a quite recent phenomenon. Until the late nineteenth century, the causes of diseases were largely unknown; even the most prestigious doctors applied an unfortunate array of remediesespecially opiates and blood-lettingthat usually did more harm than good. Elaine Breslaw's welcome narrative (I've long wanted just such a book) reveals how Americans from the early seventeenth century to the late nineteenth survived, or did not, the nation's helter-skelter medical practices, both popular and professional. She is as adept at describing the evolution of childbirth customs and treatment of the mentally ill as she is at explaining how major epidemics such as small pox, yellow fever, and cholera wreaked havoc on American communities and why 'surgeons' could neither treat the symptoms effectively nor prevent their spread. This is a thoughtful and engrossing synthesis of the best literature on American medical history., There is a nice balance between particular stories and wide overviews, and readers meet care-givers who have become famous over the decades, from long-time figures such as Cotton Mather and Benjamin Rush to newer but now indispensable actors such as the New Hampshire midwife Martha Ballard . . . . The book's breadth is valuable., "In Lotions, Potions, Pills, and Magic, Elaine Breslaw takes an intriguing backward look at the history of healthcare in early American and finds parallels between the current disillusionment with physicians and the former 'gloomy picture of the early state of health care and the medical profession' (p. 193).

Synopsis
Health in early America was generally good. The food was plentiful, the air and water were clean, and people tended to enjoy strong constitutions as a result of this environment. Practitioners of traditional forms of health care enjoyed high social status, and the cures they offered-from purging to mere palliatives-carried a powerful authority. Consequently, most American doctors felt little need to keep up with Europe's medical advances relying heavily on their traditional depletion methods. However, in the years following the American Revolution as poverty increased and America's water and air became more polluted, people grew sicker. Traditional medicine became increasingly ineffective. Instead, Americans sought out both older and newer forms of alternative medicine and people who embraced these methods: midwives, folk healers, Native American shamans, African obeahs and the new botanical and water cure advocates. In this overview of health and healing in early America, Elaine G. Breslaw describes the evolution of public health crises and solutions. Breslaw examines "ethnic borrowings" (of both disease and treatment) of early American medicine and the tension between trained doctors and the lay public. While orthodox medicine never fully lost its authority, Lotions, Potions, Pills, and Magic argues that their ascendance over other healers didn't begin until the early twentieth century, as germ theory finally migrated from Europe to the United States and American medical education achieved professional standing., Health in early America was generally good.
