Charles Darwin went on to express frustrations over Dr. William Jenner's frequent changes of medication and with treatments by other doctors. He vomited almost every day from 21 April through 1 May. He then recalled that, several months earlier, Dr. John Chapman had sent him a book that he described as being “on the cure of Sea Sickness”, which at first he had not acknowledged receiving or read. Darwin now read Dr. Chapman's book, decided to try the ice treatment, and on 16 May asked Dr. Chapman to come to Down. At first, for two days, Darwin was free of flatulence and vomiting, but during the next few days the symptoms recurred. Darwin's prolonged vomiting may have been an immediate stimulus for him to consult with Dr. Henry Bence Jones. Over the next six weeks, as he continued to follow this treatment and restrict his daily intake of food, the number of entries in Emma's diary on his illness slowly decreased. Three episodes of illness that Darwin treated by himself, aided as always by Emma, were quite different in their causations and nature.Less

While declaring her approval of the Positivist science, George Eliot shows herself to be already pondering on the lessons of history and the relation of the historical stages of progress to the condition and needs of the present. In 1851, she became more closely involved with Positivism through John Chapman, the publisher, and George Lewes, whom she assisted in revising and proofreading his Comte's Philosophy of the Sciences. However, it was not until 1859, when she and Lewes became neighbours and friends of those enthusiastic Comteans Mr. and Mrs. Congreve, that she was drawn into a real involvement with the idea of the new ‘Religion of Humanity’. She was deeply impressed by Auguste Comte's Catéchisme positive. Comte had said that George Eliot's novel Romola should portray the progress of humanity. This chapter deals with Romola's slight but intriguing references to the ideas of Joachim of Fiore.Less

This volume recounts the individuals, ingredients, corporations, controversies, and myriad events responsible for America’s diverse and complex beverage scene. It revisits the country’s major historical moments and tracks the growth of the American beverage industry throughout the world. Americans have invented, adopted, modified, and commercialized tens of thousands of beverages—whether alcoholic or nonalcoholic, carbonated or caffeinated, warm or frozen, watery or thick, spicy or sweet. These include uncommon cocktails, varieties of coffee and milk, and such iconic creations as Welch’s Grape Juice, Coca-Cola, root beer, and Kool-Aid. Involved in their creation and promotion were entrepreneurs and environmentalists, bartenders and bottlers, politicians and lobbyists, organized and unorganized criminals, teetotalers and drunks, German and Italian immigrants, savvy advertisers and gullible consumers, prohibitionists and medical professionals, and everyday Americans in love with their brew. The book weaves a history full of surprising stories and explanations for such classic slogans as “taxation with and without representation;” “the lips that touch wine will never touch mine;” and “rum, Romanism, and rebellion.” It reintroduces readers to Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and the colorful John Chapman (Johnny Appleseed), and rediscovers America’s vast literary and cultural engagement with beverages and their relationship to politics, identity, and health.Less
