The Traveling Medicine Show: Pitchmen & Plant Healers of Early America
by Jesse Wolf Hardin
Plant Healer Press
Full color - 104 pages 8x11 - $24
Reasd the truth about the largely wonderful if oft maligned Traveling Medicine Show, the unfortunate shift from plant medicines to harmful pharmaceuticals, and the benefits and joys of resurgent herbalism in this modern age.... in a book as beautiful as it is fascinating, filled with over 500 lovely vintage and contemporary illustrations.
"Step right up, and please loan me your ears," a spiel might begin. "It is I, a doctor to the common people, your maestro of popular music and entertainment, alchemist of wellbeing and conveyor of necessary remedies for a well balanced and fruitful life... asking each of you now: when it comes to health and healing, who could possibly know better than Mother Nature?" The silver tongued speaker might be alone, traveling only with a wide range of herbal products in his painted wagon, or else part of a troupe that not only shilled but entertained. What followed, might be a "scientific" or medical lecture, a magic act, musicians or comedians, providing not only bottled remedies but also a darn good time
Although exceedingly popular from the early 1800s until the 1930s, the Traveling Medicine Shows and other herbal sellers were often unfairly maligned in their times, and today are most likely to be trivialized. Read here the truth about these alternative healthcare providers and their plant medicine allies, from traveling herbalist showmen like Indian John and the Diamond King, to the once best known woman in America, Lydia Pinkham. A large number of such folks were not only medicine sellers but also medicine makers, gathering or growing the potent plants for tinctures, decoctions, and tonics that could effectively treat a large percentage of common illnesses and conditions. Then as now, herbal nostrums provided a reasonable alternative to seeing a costly licensed physician and to the all too frequently dangerous drugs that they prescribed, for a majority of common conditions.
For the lovers of historic Americana, Steampunk sensibilities and wondrous curiosities, this book seeks to provide entertainment worthy of the early Traveling Medicine Shows themselves. And for anyone interested in herbalism, medicinal plants, personal health or the art of healing, it provides inspiration as well as information, feeding what is most certainly a new folk herbal resurgence.

In Paris, Lark tells her fianc Martin she is pregnant, news he takes badly.
Weeks before, they arrive in Paris to stay with their friends Jordy and Guil. On holiday their sex life escalates. Lark's periods are irregular and a taken pregnancy test proves positive.
Lark and Martin argue about the baby in public. Michael Lawson, writer's agent for adult websites approaches them. It shocks Lark to find Martin is dead against a baby after positive discussions in the past. Martin questions the baby's progeny and pressures for termination. They repeatedly fight and make up. Martin takes off to London without Lark, taking her passport and tickets and remaining out of contact. Lark orders a new passport and stays in Paris.
Hurting and adrift, Lark contacts Michael Lawson's agency and begins writing as a distraction from her uncertainties. Martin arrives back accepting the pregnancy. All is well, but when Jordy's friend Marcelle hits on Martin, Lark learns that Marcelle was Martin's previous wife.
Martin and Lark discover they have twins. Lark continues to write and submit stories. Marcelle finds she is also pregnant. Lark's passport arrives and the couple travel to Amsterdam to stay with another friend. Martin returns to Paris temporarily. Lark finds evidence that Marcelle is still involved with him, also returns to Paris to confront them both. But Martin and Marcelle are actually twins, not ex partners. After many revelations, Martin and Lark come to a fresh understanding about their level of commitment needed for their imminent twins and Marcelle talks to her lover about her own pregnancy.
Eighteen years later, Lark and Marcelle tell their three children, these intertwining histories and how, shortly after this the two fathers-to-be were killed instantly. Consequently, Lark and Marcelle became co-parenting lesbians, raising their three children.

Book 3 in the MUMMY NATURE series of children's books.
Discover how seeds travel from place to place. Our narrator excitedly tells us how she saw a pear fall from a tree in the meadow and how a cow came along and ate it. Then the seed began a journey. Where would the seed end up? Would it grow into a big tree with pears of its own?
Using the pear and cow example we can stimulate more questions about seed dispersal and, like all the books in MUMMY NATURE series, Travelling Seeds can be used as a jumping of point for discussion of other topics such as seed germination, plant parts or how plants animals and people interact in nature. On the last page we can see more examples of ways that seeds can be spread.
What we can learn:
How seeds of fruit can be spread when eaten by animals or people
Other ways that seeds can be spread: by wind, by water, by sticking to travelling creatures
Simple ideas about germination
The cycle of: seed > plant > flower > fruit > seed
A cow stomach has 4 parts
New words: Germination, sprout, roots, seedling
PAGES: 24 WORDS: 283 LEVEL: Preschool - 6yrs
Other books in the series: Meet Bacteria Bees Like Flowers
