  • Adventures in Maritime Quackery: the Leslie E. Keeley Gold Cure Institute of Fredericton, N.B.*
    CHERYL KRASNICK WARSH Adventures in Maritime Quackery: The Leslie E. Keeley Gold Cure Institute of Fredericton, N.B.* MY PAPA'S AWFUL HAPPY NOW, and mama's happy, too, Because my papa doesn't drink the way he used to do... [My mama] laughs just like we girls and never cries a mite, And sings such pretty little songs — since papa's been to Dwight.1 On 2 October 1894, a respectable sampling of the Frederictonian elite incorporated a joint stock company. These gentlemen had entered into other business and philanthropic ventures previously, including the city's Victoria Hospital and the Deaf and Dumb Institute. What was notable about this meeting was that they were investing in an enterprise which had been condemned by the medical establishment as "unmitigated charlatanry" and "quackery". Yet clergymen, temperance reformers and concerned lay people were heralding it as the saviour of North American society and the harnessing of modern science for the public welfare. This very controversial enterprise was the Leslie E. Keeley Gold Cure Institute for the Treatment of Inebriates. Its establishment in Fredericton was a first for the Maritime provinces. A short 18 months after its incorporation, however, the company was bankrupt, scandal- ridden, and an episode its founders preferred to forget. The Keeley movement in North America, which provided great riches for its founders, sobriety to some of its followers, and blindness and pain to a few unfortunates, is simple to dismiss as an isolated example of 19th century greed and credulity. However, as even its detractors admitted, the system was successful for a great many alcoholics.

  • Drink and the Victorians
    DRINK AND THE VICTORIANS A HISTORY OF THE BRITISH TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT PAGING NOTE: Pamphlets, journals, and periodicals are paged using the number of the item on the list below, and the call number 71-03051. Books are cataloged individually – get author/title info below, and search SearchWorks for online record and call number. BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE This collection has been formed by the amalgamation of two smaller but important collections. The larger part, probably about three-quarters of the whole, was formed by William Hoyle of Claremont, Bury, near Manchester. The other part was formerly in the Joseph Livesey Library, Sheffield, and many of the pamphlets carry that library stamp. The catalogue has three main elements: pamphlets and tracts; books, including a section of contemporary biography; and newspapers, journals and conference reports. There are around 1400 separately published pamphlets and tracts but a series of tracts, or part of a series, has usually been catalogued as one item. The Hoyle collection of pamphlets, is bound in 24 volumes, mostly half black roan, many with his ownership stamp. All the pieces from the Joseph Livesey Library are disbound; so that any item described as "disbound" may be assumed to be from the Livesey collection and all the others, for which a volume and item number are given, from Hoyle's bound collection. INTRODUCTION By Brian Harrison Fellow and Tutor in Modern History and Politics, Corpus Christi College, Oxford. Anyone keen to understand the Victorians can hardly do better than devour Joseph Livesey's Staunch Teetotaler (458) or J.G. Shaw's Life of William Gregson.

CASSELL AND COMPANY, LTD. LONDON, NEW YORK, TORONTO AND MELBOURNE 1909 PRIES! ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Stack Annex BeMcatefc TO FRANCIS GALTON THE AUGUST MASTER OF ALL EUGENISTS PREFACE THIS book, a first attempt to survey and define the whole field of eugenics, appears in the year which finds us celebrating the centenary of the birth of Charles Darwin and the jubilee of the publication of The Origin of Species. It is a humble tribute to that immortal name, for it is based upon the idea of selection for parenthood as deter- mining the nature, fate and worth of living races, which is Darwin's chief contribution to thought, and which finds in eugenics its supreme application. The book is also a tribute to the august pioneer who initiated the modern study of eugenics in the light of his cousin's principle. A few years ago I all but persuaded Mr. Galton himself to write a general introduction to eugenics, but he felt bound to withdraw from that undertaking, and has given us instead his Memories, which we could ill have spared.

Reserved RC 5<5£ \C\\Q PREFACE For some years past I have been entreated by colleagues and friends to write the impres- sions and experiences gained during my thirty years' treatment of alcoholic and drug inebriates. From a literary point of view, I knew myself incapable of producing a satisfactory work, but when it was pointed out to me that there was no book published dealing fully with the special method of treatment which I had used with more than ordinary success during all those long years, I felt I ought to place my experiences on record, no matter how imperfectly it might be done. Throughout the book I have written for two classes of readers, namely, those of my own pro- fession who may be interested in the treatment of inebriety, and those of the laity interested in the subject. The book therefore is written in the simplest style possible, the only exception to this being the chapters on pathology and treat- vi PREFACE ment.

Secretary and Superintendent of Public Health. Office of the Superintendent of Public Health and Secretary of the Terri­ torial Board of Health. OKLAHOMA CITY, December 1, 1900. To His Excellency, Governor C. M. Barnes, and the Honorable LcgisUttive Assembly of Oklahoma: GENTLEMEN: In accordance with Chapter 8, Statutes of Okla­ homa Territory, I have the honoT to submit herewith my biennial report for the period ending November 30, 1900. Respectfully, L. HAYNES BUXTON, M. D., Superintendent of Public Health. Introductory. During the past biennial period the Territorial Board of Health has been called upon to perform a larger amount of work and incur greater responsibilities than has been the case in all its combined previous history. This increased work has been due to numerous causes, among which we notice, the rapid development and increase of population of towns and cities, demanding better and more systematic protection from violation of sanitary laws; many towns have become cities and the conditions that have here­ tofore been tolerated cannot longer exist under the changed con­ ditions. Again, greatly increased immigration has constantly brought in its train contagious and infectious diseases, many heretofore unknown in some sections of the Territory; new points of infec­ tion having constantly been started from this increase of travel.
