Summary
This is a jounal article about a Lancaster physician who practiced in times before the founding of medical societies that served to standardize forms of conduct and treatment. The article recognizes the pressures he faced because of the competition from other doctors in the city. He is seen as a physician in "the middle" between serious practitioners and charlatans. He was professionally trained, but did dabble in patent medicines and a variety of pseudosciences.
