N2  - This text chronicles the early implementation of western medicine from settlers coming across the United States who made their home and built their practices in Oregon between 1829 and 1910. Though this period of over 80 years was marked by innovations in education and medical processes, folklore and superstitions were still prevalent. This is exemplified by one anecdote of a farmer--showing concern for a man after a wood-chopping accident--who worried that if the offending ax was not buried, the wound would not heal. Also included in these accounts are anecdotes about common ailments like typhoid, malaria, and smallpox, and harrowing stories of dentistry, debilitating epidemics, and midwifery practices. This paper was read before the University of Oregon Medical School History Club at the home of Dr. Olof Larsell.
