Folk Medicine - 3 R's

** Here is another health message read :

"Folk Medicine in Vermont is interested in three R's :
- Resistance, 
- Repair, 
and Recovery. 

First the individual asks himself whether his resistance to disease is as it should be. Next, is he able to repair tissue injury due to accident should it occur? 

Finally, if sickness should come, is his body able to bring about recovery? Somehow during the passing years he has learned that iodine is related to the ability to resist disease." 

Excerpt from Folk Medicine by Dr. D.C. Jarvis

 Often used in cleaning and as a water treatment disinfectant for equipment and areas where livestock are kept. 

 "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."

Short Biography of both


When Sylvia Jarvis Smith '36 thinks about her childhood in Barre, Vermont, she remembers a household filled with music. Her father, a physician who had graduated from the University of Vermont College of Medicine in 1904, was also a self-taught musician. "He was a real Renaissance man," she recalls fondly, who played "nearly any instrument you can think of."
It was a gift that he loved to share. Dr. D. C. Jarvis, an eye, ear, nose and throat specialist, was something of a Pied Piper to the young people in Barre when it came to music. In his spare time, he taught untold numbers of children to play enough instruments that he formed a youth symphony orchestra of more than sixty pieces well known in and around Barre for their Saturday performances. Four of his protv©gv©s went on to pursue successful careers in music. Dr. Jarvis was also a successful author whose book Folk Medicine: A Vermont Doctor's Guide to Good Health was first published in 1958 and is still available today, having sold more than four million copies.
Sylvia, who taught music and Latin in Vermont schools for many years, also inherited her father's musical proficiency and became accomplished at a long list of instruments, including piano, violin, clarinet, oboe, drums, and others. It was the piano that became her lifelong favorite for musical expression, however, and she decided recently to honor her father's memory by making a gift of her piano to benefit UVM students. The beautiful vintage instrument now is a centerpiece of the practice room in the newly renovated Wing Davis Wilks residence facility, which houses many of UVM's music majors.
As a further expression of her belief in the importance of music and culture to a well-rounded liberal education, Sylvia has also made a provision through her estate that will provide tickets to Lane Series performances for UVM students.
"It's just something I've wanted to do," she says, "and now I've done it."

Dr Jarvis' Obituary (from newspaper dated Aug 18 1966)
Folk Medicine Writer Jarvis Dies at 86 "BARRE, VT - The doctor who urged old time home remedies in an age of medical research died yesterday in a nursing home at the age of 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."

"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."  from Folk Medicine by Dr. D.C. Jarvis
