Medicinal and household recipe notebook

An undated medicinal and household recipe notebook, possibly belonging to Dr. Edmund Shower, consisting of various formulas, such as hair tonic, tooth paste, cold cream, furniture polish and a cholera preventative. Note - the notebook begins at page 23, skips pages 39-40, and continues through page 71. Pages beyond page 71 were blank and therefore not scanned. Theodore S. Geiger graduated from the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania in 1854. Geiger's nephew, Edmund Geiger Shower, graduated from the College in 1878. Geiger and his family (Shower) represent a long line of homeopathic practitioners that contributed to the spread of practicing homepathic medical care to local Maryland towns. The Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania was founded in 1848 to provide standardized training in the emerging system of medicine called homeopathy. In 1869 the Homeopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania and Hahnemann Medical College (founded in 1867) merged to create a new institution called Hahnemann Medical College of Philadelphia.
