Title	Medical Cures and Remedies
Subject	Science and Technology Medicines
Place	Kendal (Ohio) Massillon (Ohio) Stark County (Ohio)
Description	Nineteenth-century Ohioans often relied on home cures and remedies for illnesses. This four-page of selection, found in the papers of Thomas and Charity Rotch of Kendal, Ohio (now Massillon), includes instructions to stop hemorrhaging, stomach cramps, diarrhea, and coughs. Most of the remedies consist of herbal concoctions. The recipes measure approximately 7.5" x 9" (19.05 x 22.86 cm). Thomas Rotch (1767-1823), a Quaker and early settler of Kendal, was active in the abolition movement and conducted slaves to freedom on the Underground Railroad. The Rotch-Wales Collection comprises several thousand items, including Quaker and abolitionist materials, household remedies and recipes, weather reports and machinery plans, and personal letters of Thomas and Charity Rotch and their family. It contains personal and business correspondence, diaries, documents, accounts, ledgers, and daybooks. A large portion of the collection consists of the personal and business correspondence, documents, and business papers of Arvine Wales I (1785-1854), who accompanied Rotch from Hartford to Ohio in 1811, worked for him, and carried on Rotch's business interests after his death. The papers of his son, Arvine C. Wales (1827-1882), a lawyer and civic leader in Massillon, are also part of the collection.
