| Sumario: | John S. Haller, Jr., provides the first modern history of the Eclectic school of American sectarian medicine. The Eclectic school (sometimes called the ""American School"") flourished in the mid-nineteenth century when the art and science of medicine was undergoing a profound crisis of faith.
