I sure wish I could afford to travel all over the world; then I could have the fun I had in Finland of hunting through back country antique shops for a delicious souvenir of that country's quackery.

After two years of trials and struggles, I have decided to pull the dropcloth off my blog to resume matting, framing, and displaying my on-line collection of quackological rarities. Your encouraging words helped me get back in the saddle; thank you.QuackMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177385014112525178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815007910504571028.post-17528587440791522922011-07-10T19:01:04.596-07:002011-07-10T19:01:04.596-07:00It is so refreshing to see an erudite and very acc...It is so refreshing to see an erudite and very accurate treatment of "Sleeping Lucy." My wife has a scholarly interest in this woman and collected many documents, including quite a few original printed and manuscript items. We might have a bit to add to this story, but not to contradict any of the factual material presented here. The most amazing observation is the number of people my wife interviewed or collected reminisces from who personally met and remember well this important Vermont figure. All of these reporters were born in the 20th century although Lucy died in 1895 (if memory serves). We think there is an important insight in this. We also think a closer inspection of the parallels and differences between Lucy and Edgar Cayce would open up some other lines of thought.BarreBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10659051120753027215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815007910504571028.post-66226979564541899562011-04-20T09:27:14.827-07:002011-04-20T09:27:14.827-07:00Hello.

For some history of hte Salubrin bottle I went to the Swedish wikipedia and ran the article through google-translate. I thin the translation was quite ok. This is it:<br />Salubrin is a kind of disinfectant. It contains acetic acid, ethanol, ethyl acetate and water. The manufacture of the product was launched in 1893 by Per Håkansson and his firm AB, P. Hakansson (later grape, today Dr. Shoppers Food), who discovered that the employees at his vinegar in Skåne Eslöv rarely or never were sick.<br /><br /> The drug was marketed to be used as "toilet preparations", the cooling jacket and SPONGING and as an antiseptic for minor exterior damage, among others, but also recommended, like other of the passage of drugs against various internal diseases, especially blood poisoning (sepsis) and tuberculosis (tuberculosis). It was also, like the similar Lazarol, notorious as an intoxicant. Internal use often elicited severe eczema.<br /><br /> Salubrin widely used as relief for insect bites (eg mosquito bites) and sunburn.<br /><br /> The name Salubrin, which is one of the oldest brands, has been derived from Latin, sa'lubris = healthy, wholesome, charitable, useful.<br /><br /> In 1999 sold Salubrin of the grape (which simultaneously changed its name to Dr. Shoppers Food) to Hardford Daily Care.Lenahttp://www.artisterian.senoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815007910504571028.post-27907812121701841702010-06-23T21:47:14.955-07:002010-06-23T21:47:14.955-07:00Hello the tooth powder is new to me i never ear ab...Hello the tooth powder is new to me i never ear about it sound really interesting i really would like to know more.teeth whiteninghttp://www.absolutewhiteningsolution.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815007910504571028.post-79844149800333617672010-02-12T17:41:32.157-08:002010-02-12T17:41:32.157-08:00Sounds great!

For the record, I think the postal clerks are the heroes in the trenches, maligned only because they're the one's we see. The postal service seems broken and in need of fixing. Like the postal system, I believe there are many heroes in the trenches among doctors and nurses and medical office staffs out there, but the health care system in this country is also broken. Everyone seems to agree that both the Post Office and U.S. health care have major problems, but we sure are struggling to get them fixed. One more thing - I disagree with your assessment that we get no better outcomes with U.S. health care than any other industrial country provides; I think that overall, U.S. health care is the best in the world. How often do people from foreign countries come here for their surgical and medical care? and how often do we hear about U.S. citizens going to Canada or France or England for theirs?QuackMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177385014112525178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815007910504571028.post-28672273385744446022009-12-05T05:41:09.473-08:002009-12-05T05:41:09.473-08:00Hey that reminds me of the last time I went to the...Hey that reminds me of the last time I went to the doctor’s office. I had an appointment made for a fixed time and STILL waited in the office for an hour and a half. I’ve never had an appointment at the Post Office and have usually had to wait in line; however I have never been in line more than 10 minutes.<br />It seems to me that in this country we wait in line at both the “public” Post Office and the “private” Doctors Office. The key difference is the price we pay and the service we receive. We pay nearly twice as much as any industrialized country for our health care and receive no better outcomes. We pay less than any other industrial country for postage and have delivery outcomes that are among the best in the world.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829376594727582330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815007910504571028.post-51366593195048823082009-12-03T13:58:26.497-08:002009-12-03T13:58:26.497-08:00God is always first; aroma is a distant second; Un...God is always first; aroma is a distant second; Uncle Louie is a very distant third.QuackMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10177385014112525178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815007910504571028.post-72866228963774170762009-12-03T08:46:19.572-08:002009-12-03T08:46:19.572-08:00What a naughty little lady!
