- Description:
- The article presents an examination of the introduction and spread of homeopathy in New Hampshire. It discusses how homeopathy was originally more of a religious system than a medical science and explores how the practice spread from physicians and families in small towns to the state's larger cities. First introduced in the state by Francestown, New Hampshire physician Moses Atwood in 1840, the practice spread through Hillsborough Country during the next decade. It discusses the relationship between homeopathic medicine and religion and explores the rapid growth that homeopathy experienced in New Hampshire during the 1850s.
