Title: Pious Traders in Medicine
Description: "This book tells the story of two generations of Pietist ministers sent from Halle, in Brandenburg Prussia, to the German communities of North America during the eighteenth century. In conjunction with their clerical office, these ministers provided medical services using pharmaceuticals and medical texts brought with them from Europe. Their practice is an example of how different medical markets and medical cultures evolved in North America."--BOOK JACKET.
