This is a daybook of a physician at Ste. Genevieve, Missouri.  The daily entries list the pa­tients treated and medicines prescribed from July 1848 through December 1853.  An index is available.

 

Eugene Pernot is included on an undated list by the sheriff of Ste. Genevieve County as one of six physicians in the county (Ste. Genevieve Archives, Western Historical Manuscript Collec­tion-Columbia, collection #C3636, folder 1290).  Most of his practice consisted of bleedings and blis­tering.  Judging from his record book, Pernot relied heavily upon mustard plasters.  He also pre­scribed from the standard nineteenth-century pharmacoepia available to him.  Excepting occa­sional cases of accidental injury and childbirth the nature of the patient’s complaint was not re­corded.
