SIX GUN DOCTORS OF THE OLD WEST
THE FASCINATING STORY OF FRONTIER MEDICINE
FRONTIER MEDICINE MEMORABILIA
IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
Folks, I sit on old floors, in attics and in basements of old bookstores looking for rarely found and seldom seen stories. Here’s one entitled
“The Fascinating Story of Frontier Medicine,”
by Ed Earl Repp, with a sub-title “Saddles, Sixguns and Scalpels.” Here, he author recites that the intrepid frontier doctor carried the medical arts – or what were considered the medical arts – into the cow towns, mining camps and lawless communities of the old West and often found he (or herself) facing stupidity, religious fanaticism, and even gunsmoke! Great personal stories of the trial and tribulations of frontier doctors. This has funny story after story and harrowing tales of frontier doctors besieged by wounded bandits. Stories of their remedies and their competition, including the local druggist, the local barber and the mid-wife. There are many old frontier doctor stories with names of places and doctors. You will love it. You have not seen it before because it is in this out of the way, little read and seldom found western magazine of many years ago.
Just reading the oldtime remedies are worth it!
Please read this. There were many a western story published – the common ones about cowboys and Indians are listed on Ebay every day but the rarer ones like this one about medicine on the western frontier are seldom found. Collectors treasure them and their price guide value rises every day. They are hard to find. I hunt them out cause really the better, untold and rarer stories were published in the rest.
Here’s one of ‘em.
Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western pioneers. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell.
This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost.
Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive.
I hope you appreciate the effort.

Picture 1: Pioneer doctor Henry D. Robertson poses with saddlebags, quirt and protective high boots, all necessary tools for the frontier M. D. *
Picture 2: Strong stomachs were essential at frontier medical colleges. The Louisville Medical College class of 1895 examines a cadaver, more than likely a victim of a hanging or a grave robber. *
Picture 3: Dr. T. S. Chapman’s frontier office wasn’t sanitary by today’s standards, as the spittoons attest. *
Picture 4: Dr. John D. “Bonesetter” Reese, a frontier physician who specialized in deformities, dislocated and broken bones, once treated Wyatt Earp in Dodge City, Kansas. He’s also known to have treated Buffalo Bill Cody. *
Picture 5: Legitimate dentists such as Dr. R. H. Pendleton faced stiff competition from patent medicine hucksters who extracted aching teeth for no fee as a come-on for their various cures. Dr. Pendleton practiced in Oklahoma. *
Picture 6: This typical frontier drug store in Enid, Oklahoma is a far cry from the emporiums of today, but it appears to be quite well stocked. Physicians often operated their own drug stores. *
Picture 7: Dr. Daniel Ream, pioneer physician of California’s Siskiyou Country, treated both red and white men and won the admiration of each. Dr. Ream treated both sides in the Modoc War. *

FRONTIER MEDICINE MEMORABILIA
IS RAPIDLY DISAPPEARING
What a story, Rare Story!!! Great Pictures. You will love it as it was published in this old complete western magazine of many years ago. The issue is in excellent condition, the cover is pristine and in vibrant color.
As clearly stated in my description, this is featured story in a rarely found and seldom read unusual and complete western magazine. I don't give out name of publication or date because I have caught competitors copying my index and work and trying to sell it as theirs. I hope you understand.
