The Eclectic: The Life and Times of Dr. Wallace W. Wheat (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781888483178)

A collaboration between Eclectic Medical Publications and the author, this book looks at the roots of today's naturopathic medicine. At the turn of the 20th Century, modern medicine was still in its infancy and medical practice was hotly debated. Wallace W. Wheat is a young man from Roseville, Indiana, a rural village in the rolling hills of Parke County in the west central part of the state. Follow his life and career as one of the Eclectic (or American School) practitioners whose strong belief in plant medicine laid the foundations for today's naturopathic physicians. His buoyant personality, commitment to his practice and eccentric lifestyle made him a folk hero. Experience the rugged, demanding life of an early physician as he gains a reputation as one of the most noted Hoosiers of his time. Experience the scenic beauty of Parke County, "The Covered Bridge Capitol of the World".
