" I believe the doctor of the future will be a teacher
as well as a physician.
His real job will be to teach people how to be healthy."

Dr. DeForest Clinton Jarvis, born in 1881, was a graduate of the University of Vermont Medical College. He practiced medicine in Barre, Vermont starting in 1909. Dr. Jarvis was Rural Medicine Editor of Medical World, a member of the Academy of Ophthalmology and Otolaryngology, the American Medical Association and other leading medical societies. His interest in the folk medicine of Vermont began soon after the start of his medical practice.
"If you care to go to school go to the honey bees, fowl,
cats, dogs, goats, mink, calves, dairy cows, bulls and horses and allow
them to teach you their ways, you will gain an insight
into physiological and biochemical medicine not to be learned from medical
books. Verified by observing results in animals, this
medicine, which is passed from generation to generation by word of mouth
enables great numbers of Vermonters to continue carrying
heavy daily work loads and to go on well past the Scriptural three-score-and-ten
years into good physical and mental vigor, good digestion, good eyesight
and good hearing, avoiding senility
to the very end." Dr. D.C. Jarvis
Dr Jarvis' Obituary (from newspaper dated Aug 18 1966)
Folk Medicine Writer Jarvis Dies at 86
Dr. Deforrest C. Jarvis, author of Folk Medicine and Arthritis and Folk Medicine had been sick about two months.
In his books, both best sellers, he advanced the theory that such homely cures as honey mixed with vinegar-"honegar"- could be more beneficial in some cases than expensive drugs."
