Description and Table of Contents

Description

Examines the life of a Prussian/Polish Jew who immigrated to the US in the 1850s and became one of the nation's best-known physicians. His advocacy of natural remedies made him appear iconoclastic to his contemporaries, but he has gained posthumous recognition as a pioneer in physical medicine.
