Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

It is just what I wanted and so pretty. Was nt it sweet of them? It touched my heart I can tell you. I wish I could see you my dear girl. I am troubled about you having such a time with your stomach.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

I didn’t faint as you know I never do such things. but I just felt too cheap for anything. + what must you have thought of my letter I supposed you referred to your neice and didn’t notice the difference in the name and now may I ask who this mar -velous child is named after I shall love her for her second name at all events you know what talks we used to have about marriage you truly believed in it and it does not seem feasible that you are a mother + here I am the same old maid - with the same views on mat- rimony although if I find some one that I can not live with out I shall probably change my position Mr Thompson was here a few weeks ago - We are friends still you see. Now do tell me all about my neice I am sure she will be an optomist like her auntie as she is fair you say Were you very sick You mean hateful thing not to tell me and let me take care of you never mind when I am married I’ll [?] you + [?] how you like it. I thought after our sojourn at “Shefersteins” we were sisters indeed + I should always always know “what you doing”. but I guess it is so that after a woman is married she cares nothing for her friends but as I am not in “the soup” still count me as your dearest friend Louise Kiss the dear baby for me + little Kate too if she is there God bless you all Kind re gards to Eugene + Your Mother + Father https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/a5a9385006ab88183915eb49d03907ab.pdf c324a395982e56430f4b32ded873f18f PDF Text Text �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My Dear Fanny I almost [?] that this is the last time I can address Dr. F. Proctor and I still I am very glad that my dear friend is to be loved and cared for and God grant you may be very happy I have been quite ill since I wrote you last. had it not been for this I should be in Buffalo and then I could easily drop in on that eventful occasion but as it is you have my good wishes and sincere love for yourself + your “worser half” You know how I would love to send you an elegant present had I the means to do so but it shall come as soon as I am able - meanwhile you must content your self with some little token which I will send soon. and please do not view it with a “crickets eye” I know you will make the best little wife in the world. and that you will avoid all uncalled for arguments as I remember well of how when Mr Scheferstein called “Vat you doin?” how you made your escape to the bedroom and left me to break one of the command ments by answering with child like innocence “nothing” well those days are far behind us and our heavenly father above can tell what is in the future I shall begin farm- [?] in the Spring in Buffalo I have all I want to do here but our winters are too hard to remain here indefinitely- I hardly want to give up my medicine and as for marriage I am further from it everyday Do write [?] how you are quick to tell me at least the name you expect to bear as you havent told me yet.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

My Dear Doctor Fanny: I wrote you nearly two months ago and wondering, why under the sun, moon + stars you didn’t write me. when lo, a letter cometh telling me- that you are really and truly located while poor. I am still afloat. I have not put out my shingle yet. for the reason- that I meant to leave as soon as I could get a place- and then people would think I had to and at last I never secured a position. I intend to go to Pittsburg. Pa. the first of Jan. to enter a hospital there. I shall get $25 a month with every thing found. and then the experience I shall get will be worth worlds to me. Pelvic surgery is the princi- -pal work that is done. I have a splendid position offered me at Cambridge as resident physician of Dr. Marley’s private hospital for women. but I would receive no compensation whatever. and I could not do it. although the name of being there would have been worth a small fortune but alas- dollars are more to me just now than name- and this position has come up to help me I am delighted of course tho’ I dread to go among strangers and away from home- Well my dear girl I am so glad that you have started. how did it all happen anyway? Do your best and keep up you spirits. I suppose you have heard something of met- aphysical healing. There has been a woman in our place- for sometime doctoring (?) in that way but she has gone home at last without having a Dear cured case. My Preceptor has the luck of practice but I have some - even without a sign. my cases have been mostly chronic dysphagia goiter. hay asthma +c. + a few cases of wounds one broken arm and one of [a?men?orrhoea] Mrs Knapp is in San Francisco as corresponding Recy. for the W.C.T.U.. She said she could get into school so easily but she found it was harder than she supposed I must hasten and mail this. Do you read anything but medicine. I am studying German, reading medicine with an occasional novel by Haggard or Black as con diments. Have you read anything by Haggard? I wish you would. They are the strangest stories ever written. With all my love yours Louise mother seems quite well tho I worry about her lungs a great deal but she doesnt know it I have prescribed ferrous hyphophosphate for Mrs Packwoods [?] and she feels much better under its use https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/bfcb616067b48a8e4126ae2078d73767.pdf 9cbd12798e93d5cdf842b0100dcd47e2 PDF Text Text �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

My Dear Fanny How I wish I could see you instead of writing. on this glorious Sunday. I have been to Church and am to go to night to a S.S. Concert. so I must fill my time before with letter writing. Your occupation did shock me but I admire you for it It takes moral courage to go to work at something that we know we are above I cant do it -yet- tho. I would gladly if no one would know it. but I fear public opinion and fear too that if I take such work I shall never get any other I am almost wild about not being in business and begin to feel about my diploma as you did. where you wrote me you could not bear the sight of it. but I would not tell this to an one but you my dear - not even my mother as I pretend to be cheerful and not to care I am [???ious] to obtain a position to teach Physiology I do dread to go to practicing not knowing whether I will earn a cent in six months I would be willing to take in washings almost to earn some money but then these times will all be over sometime. and we may roll in wealth. We might make a compact that whichever succeeds first shall assist the other. I wish I could help you at this moment. We will never tell anyone our troubles. for “Laugh and the world laughs with you Weep and you weep alone For the poor old earth may borrow its mirth But has trouble enough of its own”.

May he reap a rich harvest I hear from Mr Thompson occasionally. Miss Knapp has not graduated yet. is working on a paper. Dr. Johnston sailed for India a short time ago. I suppose there is a splendid field for us there if we would go- But I cannot. with my loved ones here I wonder what ever because of miss Carroll. She has a hard time. I guess Dr (Morehouse) Kennedy is still teaching in the “Central” I havent heard a word about Mrs Rhodes - + doubt if she ever comes up. Miss Dickinson at Dr Pierce’s writes me all the college news. She is a dear good Christian girl I wish you knew her. I send you a little tintype with this. which will serve to remind you of 397. Genesee perhaps. and how we [scr??led] the stairs in concert to +c. these were dear old days after all. but how time does fly soon will be old before we know it my widower is still here + will prob. come home from church with me tonight Dr Johnston’s Thesis was mentioned She wore black silk with long train and low cut neck with nothing in to fill up + cover Even the profs disliked her they tell me. She became so bossy He says he will want a year for his answer. but I hardly think I shall ever marry him so I dislike to have him wait in hopes all that time I dont know what to do. I am so worried about my business I do not know whether I love anyone or not. I hear from Dr. Manchester at Royalton quite often. He was one of my class.

The Ex’s were unusually severe they all said. I [?] of course. Dr Stoddard had his Ex. where he finished his lectures in the middle of the term We were glad as Dr. [Pi?kin] prepared us- night + day be fore- well- the eventful eve came- I went to the college at half after six. at seven Dr. S- was to be there. We waited until 9. then a committee. telo- phoned to Dr. Carey. He answered that he was probably at Dr. [???tha??s] as he had been invited there to dine. Well Mr Steele and Palmer - went there. + to their surprise saw. Dr. Stoddard. in a drunken condition. Well he soon came to College after 9. remember- + we were all tired out. He could not walk straight- so sat down and managed to tell us about what he wanted. Of course there was lots of cribbing + they even went down and asked him questions + he would tell them. Well- I finished my paper at 1/2 after 12. arriving home at ten minutes to one. We all kept quiet about his being intoxicated. so the fresh do not know it now. I dont think the next day he (Dr. S-) had to give his last lecture + the boy thought first they would receive him in per -fect silence + then thinking that he probably felt sorry they applauded him until the tears came into his eyes. Then of course I felt like hugging him. woman fashion. Well he thanked them for the favor shown him [?] + I suppose- he is wandering among the catacombs. as he crossed the ocean- The rest of the Ex’s were about as usual. Dr. Price held a written Ex. for Dr. Rochester. Dr. Price had on a full dress suit at the Ex. looked quite [s????tish]. Dr. Milhaus Ex. was very hard- He was also hald seas over- but Dr. Vanden burg was there. + prevented cheating.

I wish you + I had the same room- The people were so friendly. never asked “Vat you doin.” I dont be lieve had I looked the city over I could have found better people. My brother came the before Commencement I attended Com. with Dr. Man -chester (a graduate). He came for em with a carriage + took me to the banquet in one too. When I went on the platform in the last ten. the audience applauded. so long + loud that the tears came in my eyes- The graduates all joined too. wasn’t it good of them? My dear boys. I miss them very much. I had a lovely basket of flowers and a large bou quet. but Dr. Packwood gave me neither or none- Wasn’t he real mean. when he could amply afford. Well [m?] conscience is clear certainly I have always treated him kindly. He was jealous to think I got thru. I suppose. I received the unanimous vote. of the faculty. The boys waited at the College for the announcements with old drums tin horns + the like. 3 were plucked. and they would not let them go before the curators. I did dread the curators Ex. but for thru nicely. Dr. Carey asked me about 20 questions I guess I was the only lady at the ban quet. Did I have pluck Sister- There was nothing objectionable only at the table opposite me. there sat the Dr. that was in your class I believe. with Ptosis. (dead drunk). So he did not eat anything. Every one else looked bright + happy- + the toasts were applauded. My Preceptor could not be present. on account of the illness of his little daughter. I was so sorry.

I have [had] my dress - nearly done. I am to wear white or rather cream colored alba tross cloth. with my white lace shawl - looped as an overskirt Imagine my poor pinched face in such a pretty dress. I know nothing what I shall do When I get thru. I would do almost anything. I can only get thru I think I passed in [Mater????] med. I dread Chemistry beyond anything earthly. but it will soon all be over. We are having lovely weather now - too warm for you but just right for me. Mrs Packwood + family are well- Mother is with me I have such a nice place. I only wish you + I had had it last year- cant you come up to commence ment. I will send you a card when I get them. I am [s??] as you prob. know. The boys are all so good to me They say they will pull the college down if they pluck me. Mrs Wright from Bradford attends college- her husband was a physician there but is now dead- She has an office +c. to go to work in. When she gets thru. You had better come up + make her acquaintance and go in partnership with her- I think you would agree very well indeed Miss Knapp gets angry with me every week + gets over it; There is one dear little girl in school. Miss Emma Dickinson she graduates as nurse in the Rochester hospital + before that in the Classical Course of Geneseo Normal School. She is always just the same. you would like her I know. It was too bad about your mothers finger. Dr Park lectured on felons yesterday. he said always cut in the [n?dr?n] line of the fingers to avoid nerves + bloods vessels Harry Burgtold has lost his father. and just before he died he failed in business- so the poor boy has nothing to [live] depend on.

Mr <br />Meek + Mr Gray. The former <br />a second year student the <br />latter a first year. Very nice <br />both of them. Then there are <br />two young ladies. Miss Wishing <br />of the Mercantile Agency + <br />Miss Tubbs studying to be an <br />actress. both very pleasant. <br />Miss A. is not quite as soft <br />this year. I do not encourage <br /><br />her in it. I am boarding <br />with her sister Mrs Wicks <br />I like her very much, more <br />like other people <br />Now about school. the same <br />trials are mine once more or <br />I suppose I should say similar <br />ones. <br />There are many new faces <br />Of the ladies I am the only <br />veteran. Mrs Willard has not <br />returned + rumor has it that <br />she has gone to India as a <br />missionary. Miss Rhodes too <br />is lacking and instead <br />we have Miss Johnston the head <br />nurse. Miss Dickinson. Dr. Stoddard's <br />[patient] student from Rochester <br />Miss Knapp + myself. <br />Cottage St. is a continuation <br />of Virginia. <br />I went to Delaware M. E. <br />Church this A.M. Little <br /><br />George Wicks went with me <br />my sister + Earl are still <br />in the Country. I went to <br />Dr's last Sunday and old <br />397 had a sign "Rooms to let" <br />in the window. I fairly shuddered <br />looking at the old windows. <br />It made me homesick <br />for you + Oh my dear I <br />am glad you are through <br />Pray that I may have zeal <br />to study. How are you <br />doing? I do hope well. I <br />am at sea as to where I <br />shall locate my main <br />thought is to get through <br />We have jolly times here <br />after study hours are <br />over. <br />Mother + my brother are <br />coming later. <br />Do write for you are thro <br />and dont you know <br /><br />how hungry you were for <br />news? <br />I must close my dear <br />I will write as often as I <br />get time. and if I am <br />fared to get through I <br />will write whether I have <br />time or not. <br />With lots of love <br />my dear to you and your <br />family. I will say good <br />bye. <br />Yours ever in spite of <br />Miss A. <br />Louisa Downer. <br />How I wish I could add M.D. <br />O.S. Do you hear from <br />Mrs. Burchard? <br />L.D. <br /><br />[*I have made many mistakes <br />please pardon Miss R–has <br />Been talking to me–I will <br />do better next time.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Peterboro Sep. 10 85. <br /><br />My Dear Friend- <br />It hardly seems <br />possible that it is nearly time <br />for me to return to the old <br />College. with all the embarrassments <br />and trials that we met <br />with there &amp; then to miss so <br />many faces that were dear to us <br />makes it doubly unpleasant. <br />My dear I shall miss you most <br />of all. Our cosy times on Sundays <br />comes to me as I write <br />Do you remember our improvised <br />bed on the floor- that <br />had to be so rudely snatched <br />into the bed room- all because <br />of an untimely "knock." <br /><br />We had good times in old <br />397 &amp; I hope sometime when <br />we revisit our old alma <br />mater we may wander <br />through those rooms again. <br />I am illy prepared I <br />can assure you for this year <br />in school. My own health <br />has never been so wretchedly <br />"tired like". I taught school <br />had 34 under my "penetrating <br />(?) gaze- then after my <br />duties were done in that <br />direction mother was sick <br />with acute dysentery. &amp; so I <br />have had only 3 weeks to be <br />ready in. <br /><br />I shall board with Miss <br />Knapp till mother comes which <br />I hope will be in 6 or 5 weeks <br />How I shall stand the <br />ordeal- I know not <br /><br />I am to room with her for <br />$3.50. Mrs P. talks encouragingly <br />about the prospects as <br />I know you would were <br />you here. but if there is <br />any thing left of me after <br />a weeks devotion I will <br />write you- from no. 50. Cottage <br />Street. Buffalo. N.Y. <br />I am glad to learn that <br />brighter times are in the <br />future for you- Keep <br />cheerful. <br />"There's never a night without <br />a day <br />Or an evening without <br />a dawning <br />And the darkest hour so the <br />proverb goes <br />Is the hour before the <br />dawning" <br />There is one favor I <br /><br />must ask of you. Pray for <br />me every night that I may <br />get through this year. <br />I heard a splendid sermon <br />this morning from the text <br />"Is thy heart right?" <br />Tell me all about yourself in <br />your next letter. How is your <br />dear friend? I am so glad <br />your sister has a good husband. <br />I hope to see her some <br />time. You were very kind to <br />ask me to come. If I get along <br />so I can leave my studies <br />I will. Hoping you are in <br />the best of spirits &amp; have <br />lots of "patients".

Mar. 11 83 <br />Dear Doctor: <br />We have played <br />with that title so often that <br />I can not be serious with <br />it. but I am so glad for <br />you. God bless the Curators <br />from this day forth. My <br />Preceptor was there. He sat <br />on the platform with the <br />Professors. He said Mip Morehouse <br />stood in front of <br />him when she received <br />her diploma. So you may <br />remember him <br />I think you did well taking <br />all things into consideration <br /><br />doing your own work washing <br />and all. It was too bad <br />anyway. <br />My Preceptor was elected <br />president of the association <br />So you attended the <br />banquet? Do tell me all <br />about it when you get <br />time. I have not heard <br />from my sister by letter <br />tho she sent me Mr [Shermans?] <br />photo. + a paper. <br />Mip Knapp has written [+] <br />S—. Mr Campbell dont <br />you think. He said the <br />faculty would not give <br />him his diploma till <br />next December as his time <br />was not up. so he with <br />drew from [?]. tho he said <br />he made 34 points in those <br />he took. (five branches) <br /><br />I was surprised of course <br />to hear from him. He takes <br />the Spring Course. I don't admire <br />him but I have reasons <br />to respect him. <br />I do not see how Spencer <br />&amp; [Griew?] got through. <br />Crowley too. + many others <br />Mip. Rhodes did not go up <br />I judge. She &amp; I will look <br />nicely together next year. <br />If she goes up there (I doubt <br />it.) <br />I suppose you retire at 7- <br />&amp; sleep till 12. I hope so. <br />If you are not sick in bed <br />at this moment I shall be <br />glad. <br />It seems rather strange <br />to be living like "White Folks" <br />once more. I should think <br />you would often hear my <br /><br />melodious [?] voice asking "Did <br />you put any salt in the potatoes <br />Now do write &amp; tell me "Vat <br />ye doin?" Does your face <br />shine with pleasure? I hope <br />so. Dont get blue under <br />any considerations. Try &amp; <br />cultivate my loving lovely <br />disposition. I never cry Sunday <br />night when you are hungry. <br />Our Winter together <br />was pleasant after all. There <br />was much more of sunshine <br />than storm. <br />Do write soon. Remember me <br />to your people. &amp; be sure + <br />prescribe Camphoreti Linctura <br />Opii to your first patient <br />with much love. <br />Louise <br /><br />Mother is much <br />better <br /><br />[You?] might down <br />[grhn???e] [?] have your <br />leg taken off. <br />Mip M. was <br />dressed in white <br />How did you like <br />that eh? https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/7e91d8af05e58211850c334882a0f18f.pdf ed2c0715106d278979b4b615a5dba6e7 PDF Text Text �� Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

I will write <br />again this week.

Aug 11 84 <br />Peterburg 9.P.M. <br />My Dear Friend:-- <br />My digestion <br />was very much aided to <br />night- by the arrival of <br />your letter. My brother <br />handed it to me when <br />I was at the tea table. <br />I intended writing you <br />this evening regarding <br />rooming together next <br />term. Have you made <br />any arrangements about <br />it? Mother thinks she <br />will remain at home this <br />winter so I thought if <br />you would like to <br /><br />room with me I should <br />be delighted to have you. <br />I am not positive about <br />the rooms I had last <br />year. but think I can <br />get them if not we <br />could get others. I paid <br />six dollars a month. It <br />seemed a little high. but <br />I was alone on the flat <br />only at night when a <br />young lady occupied <br />a room opposite. then <br />too. I had a nice place <br />for coal on the same <br />floor with me. and <br />water. The closet was <br />down stairs. but it <br />mattered little as <br />I was down so much. <br />I too am very sorry <br /><br />about Mrs. Burchard. <br />I hoped she would be <br />near us somewhere. I <br />think you could have <br />Mr Sherman's seat next <br />term as he will help. <br />or Casey and occupy a <br />seat on the other side <br />You do not know how <br />you cheered my heart <br />by speaking of Ketchum <br />I do believe his face <br />will look good because <br />there will be so many <br />strangers. <br />Mip Carroll. I do not <br />think will be with us <br />either <br />I am as ignorant as <br />ever it seems to me <br />about the study of <br /><br />medicine as I have studied <br />very little. but like your <br />self I hope to improve <br />this winter. <br />I have a stove. + bed +c. <br />I took my carpet home <br />and shall not bring it <br />again as it hardly paid <br />me for the trouble. <br />I wonder if Mrs Simonet <br />will make her appearance <br />this year. <br />The time is fast flying <br />and we shall soon <br />be bearing all the mortifications <br />that we did <br />last year. But we can bear <br />a year or two of unpleasantness <br />for all the years <br />of prosperity <br />that will <br />doubtless <br />follow such <br />shining <br />lights as <br />we are. <br />I hope to <br />hear from <br />you soon <br />and hope <br />it will be <br />favorable <br />to our <br />"drinking <br />from the <br />same canteen <br /><br />this winter. My sister still lives on Genesee <br />Street. She + <br />little son all <br />with us now <br />with much <br />love. <br />L. Downer. <br />Please excuse <br />my lack of .,;: <br />+c +c. <br />It was my birthday <br />Sunday.

Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

And I was very glad</div> <div>to hear from you - our</div> <div>college life seems all a</div> <div>dream to me now. My</div> <div>school has been in</div> <div>session a week and I</div> <div>am enjoing my work</div> <div>very much - I am getting</div> <div>a little over seven</div> <div>dollars a week, and that</div> <div>lightens the burden considerably</div> <div>when I think</div> <div>of the expenses of next</div> <div></div> <div>year. I have one of the</div> <div>cosiest little houses in</div> <div>the world. We have a</div> <div>grove back of our cottage</div> <div>with a summer house</div> <div>in it. And as the warm</div> <div>days come I begrudge</div> <div>my time to sit in it</div> <div>and study dry facts</div> <div>[couned?] by Dr. Witthaus</div> <div>but repairing our house</div> <div>last year together with</div> <div>painting and papering</div> <div>besides new furniture</div> <div>to say nothing of our</div> <div>expensies in B- make</div> <div>me altogether too stingy</div> <div>to be idle this usmmer</div> <div>I wrote the above in my</div> <div>room at school with the</div> <div>little ones running in</div> <div></div> <div>and out at recess - now</div> <div>I am in our dinng room</div> <div>at home.

He was 32 years old.</div> <div>A post mortem revealed a</div> <div>liver 3 1/2 times too large - and a</div> <div>sleen - 8 times.

The lectures<br />were uninterrupted and some<br />of them very interesting. At<br />times I was sorry you did<br />not stay. at others glad that<br />you did not.<br />Dr. Mason had some of the<br />most embarrassing lectures it<br />has ever been my misfortune<br />to listen to. I sat with my<br />Guardian on one side and<br />Mr Hatch on the other.<br />and – well - I found two<br /><br />gray hairs on my head the<br />day following - so you may<br />judge the nature of them.<br />but as there is always an<br />end to every thing. so those<br />pleasures and pains of last<br />year are over. I think on the<br />whole. the young men<br />were very respectful. and<br />most of the faculty. though<br />I hardly think we shall<br />ever pine for Dr Mann's countenance<br />after we learn our<br />"Alma Mater"<br />I wonder if you have heard<br />any thing about Commencement.<br />My Preceptor came as<br />I expected and accompanied<br />me to "Concert Hall". Mr Westhinghous<br />was one of the ushers<br />came and spoke with me. meantime<br />looking at Dr. Dewry<br /><br />Mr Goldberg was usher also<br />and gave us very nice<br />seats - second from the front.<br />Dr. Park's lecture was all that<br />I hoped it would be. He gave<br />that contemptible journal<br />a good hit. (the one that<br />spoke slightingly of him)<br />I send you a paper and<br />programme with this.<br />Mip Culver was dressed<br />in brown silk. a little<br />bonnet to match her dress<br />light brown gloves. She<br />appeared very self possessed.<br />as you might imagine<br />I shook hands and congratulated<br />her. She was<br />very pleasant, and said<br />she hoped I would have no<br />trouble in getting through.<br />She received a very handsome<br /><br />bouquet.<br />Most of the gentlemen received<br />baskets and bouquets, and<br />it certainly made me feel<br />sad to think we should miss<br />their faces next year.<br />Poor Mrs Armidoro was [pluche?]<br />I surely think she was as<br />well prepared as Mrs Kemball.<br />The latter appeared<br />just as meek as M D. as when<br />a common "Layman."<br />I saw Mrs Burchard and<br />bade her "Good bye." She<br />spoke of you very lovingly<br />The long garved individual<br />walked off with his sheep<br />skin. Dont you pity his first<br />patient if he ever has one?<br />Well my dear I must say<br /><br />good night for the clock of Louise tells<br />me I have but<br />little time for the fulfilment<br />of my many other duties.<br />your loving friend<br />Louise Downer.<br /><br />I will direct your letter coarse next time and<br />you will think you have one from Ketchum.<br /><br />if you write-immediately direct<br />to 394 but if not to Peterboro<br />Mad. Co. I could write another<br />letter.

Burnside With Kindly Greetings and Best Wishes for your Happiness this Christmastide from L D Benzing https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/d5b4e51b97b658e34735caa5b5fbb104.jpg 1b3c5c84ebfbbf3638a8a5a8d1c79a3c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Patent Hard Rubber Cell, containing the Carbon and Zinc elements, to be charged with Bisulphate of Mercury and water. Physicians can carry it from house to house fully charged with no danger of leaking, and it is therefore superior to any Pocket Battery in the market having open cells, that so frequently slop over the solution, and corrode their small wire connections, destroying the same.<br />B. Polished Hard Rubber Plate covering the induction coil, preserving it from damage by exposure and handling.<br />C. German Silver Vibrator.<br />D. Arm to which the Vibrator Point is attached: when the Battery is charged, and not in use, move this arm to the right, off from the vibrator, disconnecting the battery cell and retaining the strength of the solution.<br />E. Switch, throwing on or off the Primary and Secondary Currents, also to Produce shocks.<br />F. Tube for regulating the strength of the current by moving out or in.<br />G. G. Two nickle plate Electrodes, with hard rubber handles and insulated cords connecting with Negative and Positive poles of the battery marked N and P. These Electrodes can be used as nerve disks, or for clamping sponge, chamois skin, etc., for application of electricity to different parts of the body.<br />H. Strong brass strip on both sides of box, near the top always in sight, supporting Patent Hard Rubber Cell (A) and connecting same with the induction coil. A great advantage over all batteries using small wire connections running along bottom of box, out of sight, so liable to rust and break, necessitating frequent repairs. Always keep these bearings clean.<br />M. Vial of Bisulphate of Mercury and small spoon for measuring the same.<br />N. &amp; P.

Dowling, Professor of Diseases of the <br />Heart and Lungs in the Homoeopathic Medical College <br />of New York, says: <br />"There are two distinct sorts of acute pneumonia. <br />The one is due to extension of bronchial catarrh <br />from the air tubes to the lungs proper. This may <br />come from a cold, and generally does. It attacks <br />children, old persons, and people who are prone to <br />pulmonary diseases. This is the broncho-pneumonia, <br />and may be complicated with other troubles. This <br />exists at all times, but is more prevalent in cold, <br />damp, and changeable weather, and makes a shorter <br />finish of people who are predisposed to pulmonary <br />troubles, or who are on the road to the grave with <br />consumption, etc. The other form of pneumonia is <br />what is known as croupous pneumonia, and here the <br />disease starts directly in the lung, and the symptoms <br />are a severe chill, followed by fever and bloody spittle. <br />This form of pneumonia is infectious in so far as <br />it is the result of a specific poison which produces <br />pneumonia and nothing else. It is not contagious, <br />but does sometimes appear to be epidemic. I should <br />say that not over 10 per cent of those who are attacked <br />die of this complaint. This is a general estimate, <br />and it includes all those who are stricken down <br />in this city. In our school of practice," says the Doctor, <br />"we have been very successful in treating this <br />disease. Our treatment has been aconite, phosphorous, <br />and byronia, with flaxseed jackets and hot <br />fomentations in some cases. We are careful in avoiding <br />the morphine treatment and the administering of <br />stimulants, which the old school believes in. Only <br />this month I brought through an old lady seventy-six <br />years of age who was attacked with croupous pneumonia <br />involving the lower and middle lobes of the <br />right lung." https://digital.lib.buffalo.edu/files/original/bc0c2d31a3fb6ef1788b323ab9256579.jpg 0526159d0df226e95e712f9a8c05687e Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Allen<br />Director Department of Medical Temperance World's and National W. C. T. U.<br />Notwithstanding the publicity that has been given to patent medicines for years past a great multitude of people continue to purchase them. W. C. T. U. workers are frequently asked for information regarding different nostrums, therefore some analyses are here given.<br />Asthma Tabs, advertised to "kill hayfever and asthma germs in three days, succeeds after everything else has failed." This "Famous New Discovery" was found upon examination of the chemical laboratory of the American Medical Association to consist essentially of potassium iodid, potassium suphate, and arsenic trioxid, drugs used for generations by physicians in the treatment of asthma. The advertisements say "it contains no harmful drugs," yet these drugs may be both harmful and dangerous used without the supervision of a careful physican.<br />Biofood, examined also by the A. M. A., costs $10 a treatment. The advertisement says, "Don't Diet for Diabetes, Take Biofood." This is the most dangerous advice. Biofood is put up as "A," and "B." Investigation should that Biofood "A" consists essentially of milk, sugar and flavoring, and small amounts of iron, calcium, and manganese salts and phosphate. Biofood "B" showed potassium acetate, salt, Glauber's Salts, and sodium citrate.<br />Eskip, for diabetes, "consists mainly of magnesium carbonate and starch with a small quantity of an unidentified drug having no medicinal characteristics." (A. M. A.)<br />1<br />El Zair, advertised as "The Elixir of Youth," advertised for both internal and external use, the ingredients of which were said to be found by a traveller in North Africa was found to be Epsom Salts and vinegar perfumed! (A. M. A.)<br />Evans Cancer Cure, a mixture of a fatty substance, such as lard, and green vitriol. "Five cents worth of green vitriol and a dab of lard will be as likely to cure cancer as the $100 treatment of Evans Cancer Cure" (A. M. A.)<br />Rinex Prescription claims to "Kill Colds Quick." "Essentially a mixture of 2 grains aspirin, 1 grain phenacetin, 1/6 of a grain quinine, with a small amount of vegetable extractives and camphor. Rinex Tablets were found to be baking soda, sugar and talc. (A. M. A.)<br />San-I-Sal, an obesity cure, Epsom Salt, 90 per cent, baking soda, 2 per cent, oil of pine needles, 1 per cent. (A. M. A.)<br />Miles Heart Treatment. A solution of compounds of iron *** a small amount of phosphate, about 5% glycerine or invert sugar. No potent alkaloidal drugs could be detected." (A. M. A.)<br />Swamp-Root, 8:25 alcohol. "A dilute alcohol-water solution of sugars, flavored, and containing a little laxative and salicylates as the chief ingredients." (Cleveland Board of Health Bulletin, and then forbidden sale in Cleveland.)<br />Dr. Kennedy's Favorite Remedy. "Sugar, 52.20%; alcohol, 15%; potassium acetate, 2%; sassafras, aloes, and methyl salicylate. Retail price $1.00. Estimated cost 10 cents. Advertised for diabetes, "for which nothing could be worse." (Cleveland Board of Health.)<br />2<br />Karnak, 18% alcohol, a recent addition to the strongly alcoholic nostrums, showed "ammonium, licorice, laxative drugs, sugar, and small amounts of calcium and magnesium. Does not contain sufficient drugs to prevent use as a beverage." (A. M. A.)<br />Vita-Pep, 16% alcohol, a little pepsin rennin, and vitamin B; "made a passable cocktail" says that analyst. (A. M. A.)<br />Tona-Vin, 18% alcohol, "with a dash of wild cherry and a suspicion of bitters."<br />Tanlac, examined by the Scientific Laboratories of Des Moines in 1921 showed 17.28% alcohol, sugar, glycerin, and the presence of some bitters "the only one of the bitters possessing any decided medicinal properities is the cinchona." About 3 grains of cinchona to an 8 oz. bottle of Tanlac. "From this it may be seen," says the analyst "that there is not sufficient medication to prevent its use as a beverage." Lyko, Angelica Bitter Tonic and American Elixir of Bitter Wine, reported by Des Moines as preparations that could be used as "booze."<br />San-Gri-Na, an obesity cure, advertised as the formula of a French physician. "Essentially sulphur, cream of tartar, precipitated chalk, starch, talc, and the common laxative drug, phenolphtalein." (A. M. A.)<br />Some of the nostrums reported by the Bureau of Chemistry of the U.S. Government as making flase and fraudulent claims are Lydia Pinkham's Compound, Vinol, Doan's Kidney Pills, Texas Wonder, Ferraline, Bick's Nerve Tonic, Foley's Kidney Pills, Porose Pills, De Witt's Kidney and Bladder Pills, To-Ni-Ta, Lafayette Headache Powders, Lafayette Cough Syrup, Hall's Catarrh medicine, Lung Germine, Pep-Tonic, New Life Remedy, Aspironal, Smith's Buchu Lithia Pills, Vitalo, Miles Nervine,<br />3<br />Greene's Nervura, Piso's Cure, Pulmonal Shoop's Restorative, Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Shoop's Cough Remedy, Tucker's Asthma Cure (has had cocain in it), William's Pink Pills, Hall's Catarrh Medicine, and numerous bitters and nerve tonics and rheumatism "cures."<br />Great Britian is a paradise for quacks. A recent nostrum called Yadil was heavily advertised. Analysis of it showed it to be one part formaldehyd, four parts glycerin, ninety-five parts water and enough garlic to give it a "smell"! It sold at $20 a gallon; a similiar mixture could be made for 36 cents per gallon.<br />Nuxated Iron has been extensively advertised as what "helped Jess Willard to whip Jack Johnston." Later the advertisements said that nuxated Iron helped Jack Dempsey whip Jess Willard! In a recent court trial in New York it leaked out that Dempsey never took Nuxated Iron, but was paid $10,000 for the use of his picture and name in the testimonial. Nuxated Iron consists of Nux Vomica and iron.<br />Aspirin. The Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry of the American Medical Association said some years ago, "The indiscriminate use of such drugs as aspirin is detrimental to the public health."<br />Soothing syrups do not contain morphine now but some of them contain bromids. Bromids are condemned as used in nerve tonics and epilepsy cures. "Ever increasing dullness, heaviness, torpor and stupidity" are results to epileptics resorting much to bromids," says that editor of the Journal of the A. M. A. Jan. 26, 1924. If bromids affect epileptics so injuriously they cannot be very safe for the brains of little babies.<br />Reolo, "The Health Renewer," is reported to be cane sugar and chalk. (A. M. A.)<br />4<br />Beto is advertised as a diabetes cure. Analysis showed it to be essentially Epsom Salts, talc, and a trace of cinnamon. (A. M. A.)<br />Mizar, advertised for rheumatism, etc.,--"essentially an ointment, the chief ingredient of which is an extract from capsicum (red pepper). (A. M. A.) Causes severe skin trouble.<br />Angostura Bitters are advertised as made from pure rum, 45% alcohol, and are declared to consists "of certain bitter aromatic and carminative substances together with alcohol, etc." Why this preparation is permitted sale when rum without the pleasant additions mentioned is prohibited, is known only to the authorities.<br />The U.S. Public Health Service says in a report: "Of the many abuses of drug products there is none in which fraud, deception, and a wanton disregard for human health and even life are so clearly evidenced as in connection with the manufacture and sale of cosmetics." Particular warning is given against "the common occurrence of mercuric chlorid or corrosive sublimate in freckle lotions." These remove the skin and sometimes disfigure for life with an appearance of the face as in erysipelas. Some "beauty soaps" also cause the skin to peel and sores may remain.<br />Patent medicine manufacturers sometimes claim that the drugs used in their preparations require a considerable amount of alcohol as a solvent. But it is possible after the drugs are dissolved to evaporate the alcohol, and make up the drugs in the form of pills, powders or tablets. Peruna was put out in dry as well as wet form some years ago, but does not seem to be so popular "dry" as "wet."<br />The public should be urged to demand<br />5<br />the secrecy shall be entirely done away with regarding all patent medicines offered for sale as family remedies, and effort should be made to have medicines in "dry" form instead of loaded with alcohol which is injurious to digestion and nerves, and to the white blood cells whose work in sickness is to destroy disease germs.<br />Note--A.

I shall advise all my students to procure it, and keep it on the office table or carry in the pocket."<br />PROF. HENRY M. FIELD,<br />Of Dartmouth Medical College.<br />"If the reader keeps in view, like the author, 'the fact that it is simply to serve as a reminder,' I think it likely to be a useful companion"<br />PROF.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

OCTAVO. *** It is the object of Prof. Rindfleisch to present in this volume of moderate size the fundamental principles of P athology A large number of the general processes which underlie disease, a knowledge of which is essential to the practical physician, are plainly presented. They include, among others, inflammation, tumor formation, fever, derangements of nutrition, including atrophy, derangements of the movement of the blood, of blood formation and blood purification, hyperresthesia, anresthesia, convulsions, paralysis, etc. The well-known reputation of the author, his thorough familiarity with, and his method of treating the subject, make this most recent work peculiarly useful to the student, as well as to the practicing physician who wishes to brush up his pathology. �STUDENTS' MANUALS.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

ACCIDENTS · Don't Get Excited-Make the pa t ient comfortable and encourag e him all you can. Fainting- Loosen clothing. L ay flat on back, raising f eet higher than head. Fan freely and pu t cold water on the face and chest. Camphor, ammonia o!" smelling salts held near nose, often reviv€:. Unconsciousness- Don 't put anyt:1:ng in the mouth. Water or stimulant m ay cause choking. Unconscious persons cannot swallow. If conscious, cold water frequently revives and r efreshens if given slowly in sips. Apoplexy-Stroke of Paralysi!:-Do not give stimulants. Loosen clothing. Elevate the patient's head and apply cold cloths. K eep the body and feet warm. Foreign Bodies in Eye- Pull t he upper lid downward away from the eyeball over lower lid and release. Burns and Scalds-Cover with cooking soda and lay wet cloth over it. Lightning-Dash cold water over person struck. Perform artificial respiration. Shock- If faint and cold, give stimulant such as black coffee in sm all doses once in fifteen or twen·'.:y minutes and secure warmth by external applications and rubbing. Wounds-The part should be properly cleansed of all foreign matter, the edges brought together and fastened with strips of adhesive plaster, apply Chamberlain's Iodine solution, give stimulant. Bruises- Apply Chamberlain's Iodine. Poisoned Wounds- From a bite of animals treatment should be prompt. If possible suck the wound thoroughly two or three minutes; sterilize thoroughly with Chamberlain's Iodine or Ammonia. Paoe s �Rules for the Sick Room t aken not to burn the patient; a thing w~ich may easily happen if he is unconscious. Importance of Pulse-The normal pulse rate is 72 t o the minute; in a woman 80 a minute, in a child less than 1 year, fro m 105 to 120; 6 years old 90; over 10 year s 80 per minute. It should be t aken by laying t he fingers gently on. a superficial artery, preferably at the pomt where the r adial artery passes over the wrist. Equipment-The sick room should have two windows so that it can be easily aired. A nar row, high bed is better than a broad, low one. The sheets should be put on without wrinkles and should be frequently changed. A rubber sheet should be placed under the lower sheet if there is danger of soiling the mattr ess. Care of Patient- The patient should b e given a sponge bath once a day for cleanliness, and his mouth should be frequently washed with a 4 per cent solut ion of bone acid (5 teaspoonfuls of boric acid dissolved in a pint of warm water.) Cold baths are sometimes used to lower the patient's t emperature. The bedclothes ar e thrown off and cloths wrung out of cold water are applied to his body, or he may be wrapped in a sheet wrung out of cold water. A fan may be employed to further cool the patient or ice may be rubbed over his skin. When the temperature has been r educed, the bedclothes are again drawn over the patient. A hot foot b ath is sometimes of service. A foot tub filled with hot water is put beside the bed; add a couple of tablespoonfuls of mustard pr eviously stirred to a uniform cream in a cupful of hot water; place the patient's fe et in t he bath and k eep them ther e about 20 minutes. Hot-water bottles should n ever be more than half filled and should always be wrapped in a piece of flannel or blanket and never allowed to come in contact with the patien t's skin. Great car e should be Diet in Sickness-In all acute diseases, especially those attended with fever, the question of diet is a very important one, and the main reliance may be placed on such food as eggs and milk. Thin soups may b e u sed, but they cont ain very little nutrition and can not be depended upon to maint ain t he strength of the sick. (See page 7) . Pao e 4 Paoe5 Importance of Temperature- The normal temperature taken wit h a Fahrenheit thermomet er is 98.6, with a centigrade 37. A temperature from 99 to 101 is called a slight f ever , from 101 to 103 a moder ate f ever, 103 to 105 a high fever, 105 t o 106 a very high, ext remely dangerous fever .. How to Protect the Family-A pat ient sick of a communicable disease should be isolated and some one detailed for his care an d comfort, who, if practicable, should be immune to the disease. Eating and drinking utensils, after being used by the pat ient, should be washed in boiling water. They should not be used by other s until t hey have been sterilized by boiling. The r oom from which t he patient was r emoved should be disinfect ed and t horoughly cleansed. �Diseases of Childhood CHICKEN POX Symptoms-The child is restless, has a slight fever and complains of itching of the skin. A papular eruption appears on face, n eck or chest within 24 hours from the time the child is taken sick. T!:iese have the appearance of small blisters. After a day or two the vesicles rupture, crusts are -formed, which drop off in from 5 t o 20 days. The temperature falls when the rash fad es, and it is usually greatest when the eruption appears. It is often difficult to distinguish between a mild form of smallpox and chicken pox, and a physician should always be called in to see the p atient if smallpox is pr esent in the community. The disease is contagious as long as any crusts are present. Treatment-The child should be put to bed, and to relieve the itching, sponged with warm water to which a small quantity of carbolic acid (half a t easpoonful to the pint) is added. Carbolized vaseline (carbolic acid 3 grains, vaseline 1 ounce) is often efficacious in r elieving itching. A warm bath should be ~iven each day until scabs come off. Admimster a mild laxative. MEASLES Symptoms-It begins like an ordinary cold; the patient's face looks flushed and sometimes slightly swollen about the nose and eyes. The rash often appears first in the throat. Some cough may be pr esent at the onset, with more or less headache. Fever is present with the onset of these symptoms. The eruption of the skin, which Page6 looks like fleabites, develops on the third or fourth day of the fever. P reventio_n-ThQ J?atient should be put to. bed and isolated m a room from which children are excluded. Give a mild laxative Treati:nent-It is necessary to prevent the patient from becoming chilled but fresh air should be admitted to the ;oom. The treatment of an ordinary case of measles requires little or no medication. If there is much irritation of the eyes the room should be darkened and the 'eyes washed with a saturated solution of powdered boric acid in warm water. After the eruption ~as disappeared and the peeling of the s~m _has begun, the patient should bathe daily m order that the skin may be freed from scales. During t he period of the disease the patient may be fed on broths, milk, soft-boiled eggs, etc. . MUMPS ~ymptoms-:-The chief symptoms are pam and_swell_mg und~r the ear. Chewing and talkmg will be pamful. Swelling may occur on one or both sides, but nearly always both are involved. It is worst a~out the third day and may gradually disappear after that. Treatment-Light diet, such as broths eggs, milk, rice puddings, etc., should b~ given. Sour food (pickles, lemons) and acid drinks give consider able p ain. lf the bowels are constipated, a tablespoonful of Chamberlain's Epsom Salts may be administered with benefit. Rest in bed is important. WHOOPING COUGH Symptoms- In the beginning the symptoms are like those of a severe cold. There is redness of the lining membrane of the nose and throat, and a hoarse, dry cough. The cough is severe and out of all proportion to the other physical signs. After these symptoms have existed for 10 days or 2 weeks, the cough changes. It occurs in spasms of shor t, quick coughs, followed Page 7 �by long-drawn-out inhalation of air accompanied by the noise known as the "whoop." Prevention-As the patient continues to spread contagion six weeks after recovery, every effort should be made to keep well child~en from associating with those having the disease; one attack confers immunity. Treatment-An outdoor life during the course of the disease should be encouraged. The child should gargle his throat several times a day with a solution of hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide, 1 part; water, 3 parts.) A broad bandage placed tightly around the chest and stomach may make the patient feel more comfortable. The use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will give soothing relief. COUGHS AND COLDS Treatment-For the soreness over the chest a good rubbing with Chamberlain's Pain-Balm Liniment will help relieve. A teaspoonful of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy given every three hours has broken up many obstinate coughs. It contains no narcotics. Do not use narcotic cough remedies. The bowels should be kept open. As a laxative use Chamberlain's Tablets for the stomach and liver. CROUP Symptoms-The attack is preceded by hoarsen ess and a loud, rough cough· a "croupy cough." The attack comes' on , usually about midnight. The child is awak~ned from a sound sleep by coughing and v10lent efforts to get his breath. These symptoms usually cease abruptly in an hour or two and the child resumes his slumber. ThesoothingeffectofChamberlain's Cough Remedy is of value in giving relief. Treatment-Give a teaspoonful of tincture of ipecac, followed by a little milk. This causes vomiting and relieves the condition. Paues ·care of the Baby If a baby cries from temper, ignore it. If from hunger or discomfort, make him comfortable. If it indicates illness, take him to a doctor. A baby should sleep first on the right then on the left side, to develop shape of head uniformly. Always lay back the ears when tucking baby in. Baby needs exercise; a chance to move his arms and kick. In a warm room remove all clothing except belly bana' and diaper, and let him kick on the bed. Dress baby loosely. Avoid binding around the armpits and wrists. Do not fasten either bellyband or diaper so snugly that it leaves a mark on the flesh. Such a pressure will make baby cry. Quick Helps for Sick Babies For heat rash, use no soap in washing baby, but tie a cupful of bran in a piece of cheesecloth and squeeze into the bath water until it turns milky. Bathe baby in this patdry,powder with Chamberlain's Talcum'. Summer Complaint r 1 Should Summer Complaint develop, send at once for your family physician and stop all food. Give at once a teaspoonful of Chamberlain's Aromatic Castor Oil. The result will be almost immediately favorable. Baby Croup Croup is always serious and a doctor should be called in at once. Keep a bottle of q~amberlain's Cough Remedy on the med1cme sbelf as a precaution. A dose or two relieves. It will add comfort to give a hot foot bath at the same time. Page9 �Intestinal Disorders DIARRHEA Symptoms- In simple diarr hea there may or may not be griping and colicky pa ins. Thirst is marked in proportion to the size and frequency of the t hin or water y discharges. Diarrhea m a y last fro m a few hours to as many days, or longer. Diarrhea is sometimes an indication of some more serious trouble. Call a doct or if the following treatment does not stop the trouble in a day. Treatment-In all cases, rest and light diet. In the more severe forms it is a good p lan to begin with a dose of 1 or 2 tablespoonsful of Chamberlain's Aromatic Castor Oil. Also in a glass of sweetened wat er, give some Chamberlain's Colic and Diar rhea Remedy. After the bowels have been freely moved, if the diarrhea or pain continues, give another dose of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy. CHOLERA MORBUS (Summer Complaint) Symptoms-Cholera morbus or ''summer complaint" is an affection of the stomach !1nd intestines, attended by vomiting, purgmg! and cr amps. It comes on suddenly. It 1s freqently caused by eating unripe and indigestible fruits and vegetables decomposed or improperly cooked fish, ~hellfish sala<_l mixtures, drinking large quanti~ ties of ice water and sudden checking of t~e perspiration. The disease usually be~ms suddenly, often at night with vomitmg. The thirst is unquench;ble. Cramps may occur in the feet and in the calves of the legs. The attack seldom lasts more than 12 hour s, but treatment should l;ie promptly applied. Treatment-Apply a large mustard plaster to the abdomen. Give Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy in sweetened water. If the dose is rejected (immediately vomited), try it again. The nausea and thirst may be controlled by cracked ice placed in the mouth. COLIC Symptoms- Intestinal or spasmodic colic are terms applied to abdominal pain occuring in paroxysms of different degrees of severity. The pain is usually r eferred to the region of the navel or middle of the belly. It may be due to indigestible food, cold or acid drinks, poisons, gases, or any irritating substance. It is often pr eceded by obstinate constipation. Vomiting frequently occurs. Colicky pains are present in many different diseases. Appendicitis frequently begins with pain not unlike th at of intestinal colic. Treatment- If the colic is due to indigestible food, make the patient vomit by giving a drink of mustard and water . T o cleanse the bowels, give tablespoonful of Chamberlain's Aromatic Castor Oil. After the bowels are emptied give Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy in sweetened water. Apply a large mustard plaster or a hot poultice or cloths wrung out of hot water, or heat of any kind to the abdomen. If the colicky pains persist, repeat the dose of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy. IMPORTANT The use of paregoric, laudanum and other opiates should be avoided. Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy does not contain any opiates or habit forming drugs. To obtain safe, sure r elief follow the Chamberlain directions car efully. This remedy is used by many doctors. PayelO Pave 11 Their cause and relief or �Constipation Muscles and Joint Troubles Usually caused by a weak stomach JF your Stomach and Liver are weak, your food is not digested. This causes food to be held up in your body. Sour, undigested food stays in your body, and causes bad breath, gas pains, and constipation. t$<\~ The Liver supplies its bile, the pancreas its digestive fluid, but what effect can they have upon this unprepared, fermenting mass. They only aggravate its state. Nutrition for the body cannot be extracted from it, and it is pushed forward into the Colon. H ere it is apt to lodge, still spreading trouble, until some corrective medicine is taken t o move it on through the lower bowel, and so out of the system. Help Nature Remedy Constipation Chamberlain's Tablets provide just that gentle, persuasive stimulant that a weak stomach and impaired digestion needs to put it in tune again, and enable it to take care of whatever we may eat without indigestion, or other stomach troubles resulting; to get up in the morning with an appetite for breakfast, and to go about the day's duties with a relish for them, and a love of life and activity.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Lay flat on back, raising feet higher than head. Fan freely and put cold water on the face and chest. Camphor, ammonia or smelling salts near nose, often revive. <br />Unconsciousness--Don't put anything in the mouth. Water or stimulants may cause choking. Unconscious persons cannot<br />swallow. If conscious, cold water frequently revives and refreshens if given slowly in sips. <br />Apoplexy--Stroke of Paralysis--Do not give stimulants. Loosen clothing. Elevate the patient's head and apply cold cloths.<br />Keep the body and feet warm. <br />Foreign Bodies in Eye--Pull the upper lid downward away from the eyeball over lower lid and release. <br />Burns and Scalds--Cover with cooking soda and lay wet cloth over it. <br />Lightning--If faint and cold, give stimulant such as black coffee in small doses once in fifteen or twenty minutes and secure warmth by external applications and rubbing. <br />Wounds--The part should be properly cleansed of all foreign matter, the edges brought together and fastened with strips of adhesive plaster, apply Chamberlain's Iodine solution, give stimulant. <br />Bruises--Apply Chamberlain's Iodine. <br />Poisoned Wounds--From a bite of animals treatment should be prompt. If possible suck the wound thoroughly two or three minutes; sterilize thoroughly with Chamberlain's Iodine or Ammonia. <br /><br />Page 4 <br />Rules for the Sick Room <br />Equipment--The sick room should have two windows so that it can be easily aired. A narrow, high bed is better than a broad, low one. The sheets should be put on without wrinkles and should be frequently changed. A rubber sheet should be placed under the lower sheet if there is danger of soiling the mattress. <br />Care of Patient--The patient should be given a sponge bath once a day for cleanliness, and his mouth should be frequently washed with a 4 per cent solution of boric acid (5 teaspoons of boric acid dissolved in a pint of warm water.) Cold baths are sometimes used to lower the patient's temperature. The bedclothes are thrown off and cloths wrung out of cold water are applied to his body, or he may be wrapped in a sheet wrung out of cold water. A fan may be employed to further cool the patient or ice may be rubbed over his skin. When the temperature has been reduced, the bed clothes are again drawn over the patient. A hot footbath is sometimes of service. A foot tub filled with hot water is put beside the bed; add a couple of tablespoonfuls of mustard previously stirred to a uniform cream in a cupful of hot water; place the patient's feet in the bath and keep them there about 20 minutes. Hot-water bottles should never be more than half filled and should always be wrapped in a piece of flannel or blanket and never allowed to come in contact with the patient's skin. Great care should be <br /><br />Page 5 <br />taken not to burn the patient; a thing which may easily happen if he is unconscious. <br />Importance of Pulse--The normal pulse rate is 72 to the minute; in a woman 80 to a minute, in a child less than 1 year, from 105 to 120; 6 years old 90; over 10 years old 80 per minute. It should be taken by laying the fingers gently on a superficial artery, preferably at the point where the radial artery passes over the wrist. <br />Importance of Temperature--The normal temperature taken with a Fahrenheit thermometer is 98.6, with a centigrade 37. A temperature from 99 to 101 is called a slight fever, from 101 to 103 a moderate fever, 103 to 105 a high fever, 105 to 106 a very high, extremely dangerous fever. <br />Diet in Sickness--In all acute diseases, especially those attended with fever, the question of diet is a very important one, and the main reliance may be placed on such food as eggs and milk. Thin soups may be used, but they contain very little nutrition and can not be depended upon to maintain the strength of the sick. (See page 7). <br />How to Protect the Family--A patient sick of a communicable disease should be isolated and some one detailed for his care and comfort, who, if practicable, should be immune to the disease. Eating and drinking utensils, after being used by the patient, should be washed in boiling water. They should not be used by others until they have been sterilized by boiling. The room from which the patient was removed should be disinfected and thoroughly cleansed. <br /><br />Page 6 <br />Diseases of Childhood <br />CHICKEN POX <br />Symptoms--The child is restless, has a slight fever and complains of itching of the skin. A papular eruption appears on face, neck, or chest within 24 hours from the time the child is taken sick. These have the appearance of small blisters. After a day or two the vesicles rupture, crust are formed, which drop off in from 5 to 20 days. The temperature falls when the rash fades, and it is usually greatest when the eruption appears. It is often difficult to distinguish between a mild form of smallpox and chicken pox, and a physician should always be called in to see the patient if smallpox is present in the community. The disease is contagious as long as any crusts are present. <br />Treatment--The child should be put to bed, and to relieve itching, sponged with warm water to which a small quantity of carbolic acid (half a teaspoonful to the pint) is added. Carbolized vaseline (carbolic acid 3 grains, vaseline 1 ounce) is often efficacious in relieving itching. A warm bath should be given each day until scabs come off. Administer a mild laxative. <br />MEASLES <br />Symptoms--It begins like an ordinary cold; the patient's face looks flushed and sometimes slightly swollen about the nose and eyes. The rash often appears first in the throat, with more or less headache. Fever is present with the onset of these symptoms. The eruption of the skin, which <br /><br />Page 7 <br />looks like fleabites, develops on the third or fourth day of the fever. <br />Prevention--The patient should be put to bed and isolated in a room from which children are excluded. Give a mild laxative. <br />Treatment--It is necessary to prevent the patient from becoming chilled, but fresh air should be admitted to the room. The treatment of an ordinary case of measles requires little or no medication. If there is much irritation of the eyes, the room should be darkened and the eyes washed with a saturated solution of powered boric acid in a warm water. After the eruption has disappeared and the peeling of the skin has begun, the patient should bathe daily in order that the skin may be freed from scales. During the period of the disease the patient may be fed on broths, milk, soft-boiled eggs, etc. <br />MUMPS <br />Symptoms--The chief symptoms are pain and swelling under the ear. Chewing and talking will be painful. Swelling may occur on one or both sides, but nearly always both are involved. It is worst about the third day and may gradually disappear after that. <br />Treatment--Light diet, such as broths, eggs, milk, rice puddings, etc., should be given. Sour food (pickles, lemons) and acid drinks give considerable pain. If the bowels are constipated, a tablespoonful of Chamberlain's Epsom Salts may be administered with benefit. Rest in bed is important. <br />WHOOPING COUGH <br />Symptoms--In the beginning the symptoms are like those of a severe cold. There is redness of the lining membrane of the nose and throat, and a hoarse, dry cough. The cough is severe and out of all proportion to the other physical signs. After these symptoms have existed for 10 days or 2 weeks, the cough changes. It occurs in spasms of short, quick coughs, followed <br /><br />Page 8 <br />by long-drawn-out inhalation of air accompanied by the noise known as the "whoop." <br />Prevention--As the patient continues to spread contagion six weeks after recovery, every effort should be made to keep well children from associating with those having the disease; one attack confers immunity. <br />Treatment--An outdoor life during the course of the disease should be encouraged. The child should gargle his throat several times a day with a solution of hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide, 1 part; water, 3 parts.) A broad bandage placed tightly around the chest and stomach may make the patient feel more comfortable. The use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy will give soothing relief. <br />COUGHS AND COLDS <br />Treatment--For the soreness over the chest a good rubbing with Chamberlain's Pain-Balm Liniment will help relieve. A teaspoonful of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy given every three hours has broken up many obstinate coughs. It contains no narcotics. Do not use narcotic cough remedies. The bowels should be kept open. As a laxative use Chamberlain's Tablets for the stomach and liver. <br />CROUP <br />Symptoms--The attack is preceded by hoarseness and a loud, rough cough; a "croupy cough." The attack comes on usually about midnight. The child is awakened from a sound sleep by coughing and violent efforts to get his breath. These symptoms usually cease abruptly in an hour or two and the child resumes his slumber. The soothing effect of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is of value in giving relief. <br />Treatment--Give a teaspoonful of tincture of ipecac, followed by a little milk. This causes vomiting and relieves the condition. <br /><br />Page 9 <br />Care of the Baby <br />If a baby cries from temper, ignore it. If from hunger or discomfort, make him comfortable. If it indicates illness, take him to a doctor. <br />A baby should sleep first on the right, then on the left side, to develop shape of head uniformly. Always lay back the ears when tucking baby in. <br />Baby needs exercise; a chance to move his arms and kick. In a warm room, remove all clothing except belly band and diaper, and let him kick on the bed. <br />Dress baby loosely. Avoid binding around the armpits and wrists. Do not fasten either bellyband or diaper so snugly that it leaves a mark on the flesh. Such a pressure will make baby cry. <br />Quick help for Sick Babies <br />For heat rash, use no soap in washing baby, but tie a cupful of bran in a piece of cheesecloth and squeeze into the bathwater until it turns milky. Bathe baby in this, pat dry, powder with Chamberlain's Talcum. <br />Summer Complaint. <br />Should Summer Complaint develop, send at once for your family physician and stop all food. Give at once a teaspoonful of Chamberlain's Aromatic Castor Oil. The result will be almost immediately favorable. <br />Baby Croup <br />Croup is always serious and a doctor should be called in at once. Keep a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy on the medicine shelf as a precaution. A dose of two relieves. It will add comfort to give a hot foot bath at the same time. <br /><br />Page 10 <br />Intestinal Disorders <br />Their cause and relief <br />DIARRHEA <br />Symptoms--In simple diarrhea there may or may not griping and colicky pains. Thirst is marked in proportion to the size and frequency of the thin or watery discharge. Diarrhea may last from a few hours to as many days, or longer. Diarrhea is sometimes an indication of some more serious trouble. Call a doctor if the following treatment does not stop the trouble in a day. <br />Treatment--In all cases, rest and light diet. In the more severe forms it is a good plan to begin with a dose of 1 or 2 tablespoonfuls of Chamberlain's Aromatic Castor Oil. Also in a glass of sweetened water, give some Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy. After the bowels have been freely moved, if the diarrhea or pain continues, give another dose of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy. <br />CHOLERA MORBUS <br />(Summer Complaint) <br />Symptoms--Cholera morbus or "summer complaint" is an affection of the stomach and intestines, attended by vomiting, purging, and cramps. It comes on suddenly. it is frequently caused by eating unripe and indigestible fruits and vegetables, decomposed or improperly cooked fish, shellfish, or salad mixtures, drinking large quantities of ice water and sudden checking of the perspiration. The disease usually begins suddenly, often at night, with vomiting. The thirst is unquenchable. Cramps may occur in the feet and in the calves or the legs. The attack seldom lasts more <br /><br />Page 11 <br />than 12 hours, but treatment should be promptly applied. <br />Treatment--Apply a large mustard plater to the abdomen. Give Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy in sweetened water. If the dose is rejected (immediately vomited), try it again. The nausea and thirst may be controlled by cracked ice placed in the mouth. <br />COLIC <br />Symptoms--Intestinal or spasmodic colic are terms applied to abdominal pain occurring in paroxysms of different degrees of severity. The pain is usually referred to the region of the navel or middle of the belly. It may be due to indigestible food, cold or acidic drinks, poisons, gases, or any irritating substance. It is often preceded by obstinate constipation. Vomiting frequently occurs. Colicky pains are present in many different diseases. Appendicitis frequently begins with pain not unlike that of intestinal colic. <br />Treatment--If the colic is due to indigestible food, make the patient vomit by giving a drink of mustard and water. To cleanse the bowels, give a tablespoonful of Chamberlain's Aromatic Castor Oil. After the bowels are emptied give Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy in sweetened water. Apply a large mustard plaster or a hot poultice or cloths wrung out of hot water, or heat of any kind to the abdomen. If the colicky pain persist, repeat the dose of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy. <br />IMPORTANT <br />The use of paregoric, laudanum and other opiates should be avoided. Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy does not contain any opiates or habit forming drugs. To obtain safe, sure relief follow the Chamberlain directions carefully. This remedy is used by many doctors. <br /><br />Page 12 <br />Constipation <br />Usually caused by a weak stomach <br />If your Stomach and Liver are weak, your food is not digested. This causes food to be held up in your body. Sour, undigested food stays in your body, and causes bad breath, gas pains, and constipation. <br />The Liver supplies its bile, the pancreas its digestive fluid, but what effect can they have upon this unprepared, fermenting mass. They only aggravate its state. Nutrition for the body cannot be extracted from it, and it is pushed forward into the Colon. Here it is apt to lodge, still spreading trouble, until some corrective medicine is taken to move it out through the lower bowel, and so out of the system. <br />Help Nature Remedy Constipation <br />Chamberlain's Tablets provide just that gentle, persuasive stimulant that a weak stomach and impaired digestion needs to put it in tune again, and enable it to take care of whatever we may east without indigestion, or other stomach troubles resulting; to get up in the morning with an appetite for breakfast, and to go about the day's duties with a relish for them, and a love of life and activity. <br />You can yourself keep your system free from periodic bilious attacks, sick headache and constipation by the simple means of using Chamberlain's Tablets either regularly or only occasionally as your case requires. <br /><br />Page 13 <br />Muscles and Joint Troubles <br />Rheumatism--Wear flannel underclothes and guard against exposure. Keep the feet dry and warm. Avoid damp and cold rooms.<br />The living and sleeping rooms should be dry and comfortably warm. Bathe the affected parts with Chamberlain's Pain-Balm Liniment. <br />Neuralgia and Sciatica--Bathe the affected parts with Chamberlain's Pain-Balm Liniment, also dampen a piece of flannel with Pain-Balm and apply it to the seat of pain. Should the pain return at regular intervals each day or alternate date, get twelve five grain Chamberlain's Aspirin Tablets and take six tablets each day, one at a time, two hours apart. <br />Lame Back and Lumbago--Bathe freely with Chamberlain's Pain-Balm Liniment four times a day and have the parts well rubbed each time. Also dampen a piece of flannel with Pain-Balm and bind it on over affected parts. <br />Sprains--If possible to treat the sprain within the hour after it is received, or before inflammation has set in, bandage the parts and keep the bandage saturated with Pain-Balm, but after the parts have become inflamed and swollen, no bandage should be used, or only a loose dry bandage of cotton cloth and the parts bathed with Pain-Balm, with rubbing. <br />Lameness--Bathe the affected parts freely and Pain-Balm three times daily and rub thoroughly. <br /><br />Page 14 <br />Skin Troubles <br />and their relief <br />Chronic Dry Eczema--Should be treated by the frequent use of any good, neutral soap with warm water, and we should suggest at least two such washings daily, after which Chamberlain's Salve should be applied. <br />Ringworm--In the treatment of Ringworm we would suggest, first, cutting the hair of the entire head as short as possible, after which the scalp should be thoroughly washed with Chamberlain's Shampoo Mixture and dried. Chamberlain's Salve should then be well rubbed in and the entire scalp covered with tightly fitting bandage, which bandage should be carefully washed and boiled when it is removed, before being reapplied. <br />Itch (Scabies)--The treatment is entirely external and we would suggest a soap and water bath twice daily for three days, after which Chamberlain's Salve should be applied. In cases of itch, all wearing apparel should be thoroughly disinfected, by either boiling or disinfection by means of Sulphur-Formaldehyde fumigator, which can be readily obtained from your family druggist. <br />As an adjunct to the local treatment of all of the above mentioned skin affections, we could recommend the internal use of a laxative, such as Chamberlain's Tablets, during the entire period that the local treatment is pursued. <br /><br />Page 15 <br />CHAMBERLAIN'S COUGH REMEDY <br />CHAMBERLAIN'S Cough Remedy as described on page 8 gives immediate relief; made in three sizes, small size, 25 cents, regular size 50 cents, family size one dollar. <br />CHAMBERLAIN'S COLIC REMEDY <br />For the last fifty years Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhea Remedy has given sure relief for intestinal disorders; made in two sizes, small size 35 cents, regular size 65 cents <br />CHAMBERLAIN'S TABLETS <br />"To help Nature stop constipation" <br />One page 12 you will find a discussion of the digestive system.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.

Title A name given to the resource Frances Proctor Ames Collection Description An account of the resource In the 1880s, it was difficult to find a woman who worked in any profession outside the home, much less a female physician. In 1885 Frances Proctor Ames graduated from the University of Buffalo Medical Department and began practicing as an obstetrician/gynecologist in Western New York. Dr. Ames was born in 1856 and was one of the first women to graduate from UB’s medical school. This collection features letters received by Frances Proctor Ames until her death in 1929. The majority of the correspondence is between Dr. Ames and Louise Downer, a classmate. The remaining correspondence is between Dr. Ames and a Dr. W.O.A. Langs, who also practiced in the area and graduated from UB’s medical school, as well as a mentor, Dr. John Eddy. There are several examples of letters sent from patients, asking Dr. Ames for her assistance with childbirth or a health emergency. The collection also features prescriptions written by Dr. Ames, medical notes scribbled on scraps of paper, treatment plans, and old examinations from her time at UB. Dr. Ames’ thesis can be read as a part of the collection, and is surprisingly short. From the prescriptions to the thesis, this collection reflects a time when patients sent their doctors letters asking for a house call when they were ill. With constant changes in medical research and technology today, it is important to appreciate just how far medicine has come.
