"In short, Renate Wilson's study is a pioneering work about the North American medical and pharmaceutical market during the eighteenth century." --Jürgen Helm, Medical History, "Pious Traders . . . refines our perspectives on the rise of American medicine (as it slowly branched off from its European roots), and clarifies an often-blurry picture of transatlantic economics. Wilson's sensitive and thorough exploitation of the Halle business records allows her to reconstruct the mental, physical, and medical worlds of eighteenth-century German communities, revealing how German-settled areas. . . . Pious Traders provides a fascinating and convincing analysis of how the secular and the religious spheres, business and philanthropy, and American and European traditions combined to produce a distinctive form of American medical culture. The book is truly comparative and transnational in its perspectives and, under a modest title, represents an impressive achievement in medical and social history." -Mary Lindemann, Bulletin of the History of Medicine, "Pious Traders . . . refines our perspectives on the rise of American medicine (as it slowly branched off from its European roots), and clarifies an often-blurry picture of transatlantic economics.

Synopsis
This book tells the story of two generations of Pietist ministers sent from Halle, in Brandenburg Prussia during the eighteenth century, to the German communities of North America. In conjunction with their clerical office, these ministers provided medical services using pharmaceuticals and medical texts brought with them from Europe. Their practice is an example of how different medical markets and medical cultures evolved in North America. At the heart of the story is the Francke Orphanage, a famous religious and philanthropic foundation started in Halle in 1696. Pharmaceuticals from Halle were manufactured and sold throughout Europe as part of a commercial enterprise designed to support Francke's charitable goals. Halle's reputation for consistent product quality and safety soon spread to North America, where men and women became actively engaged in providing medical care to Lutheran and Reformed congregations along the east coast, mainly the backcountry of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. The story continues to about 1810, when Halle's North American clergy had become independent from the motherhouse and American medical practice and education began to follow its own course. Wilson draws upon a large array of correspondence, trading ledgers, and daybooks in European and American archives. Through these records she enables us to see firsthand the experience of men and women as both patients and practitioners. The result is a rare glimpse into the world of German medicine and the pharmaceutical trade in eighteenth-century North America.
