Dr. A. W. Chase, M.D. (1817 - May 25, 1885)
Alvin Wood Chase, peddler, physician, author, printer and newspaper owner, was born in Cayuga County, New York, in 1817. He left home as a teen-ager, and spent the next twenty-five years peddling household wares and medicines to settlers of what was then the northwest, initially along the Maumee River near Toledo, Ohio, an area ceded by Indian tribes less than fifty years earlier. He bought and collected folk remedies and recipes wherever he went, and became adept at trading them to others. In 1840 he stayed in Dresden, Ohio, where he met Martha Shutts, originally from New York. The couple was married in the spring of 1841, and had several children. Chase, who continued to read and educate himself, dreamed of being a doctor. In 1856, the family came to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where the University of Michigan permitted Chase to enter as a \"partialist\" in the College of Medicine and Surgery; his lack of formal education barred him from receiving a medical degree. To support his family, he sold his health remedies to druggists and doctors in the area, including Christian Eberback, Ann Arbor\'s first druggist. Eberback would later edit a German translation of Chase\'s book, and provide promotional testimonials. Chase also sold to merchants his recipes for wine, glue, vinegar and other useful concoctions. Also in 1856, Chase published his first pamphlet, a slim collection of seventeen formulas. In 1858 Chase went to Cincinnati and enrolled in the Cincinnati Eclectic Medical Institute, where sixteen weeks later he was awarded his medical degree. He was a hard-working student, and was elected to give the Valedictory. Commenting later on his school success, Chase said, \"I received that, the first honor of the class. As I do in all things wise, that is, when I have anything to do, I do it with all my might.\" Returning to Ann Arbor, Chase published A Guide to Wealth! Over One Hundred Valuable Recipes, for Saloons, Inn-Keepers, Grocers, Druggists, Merchants and for Families Generally (1858).
As the title reveals, Chase offered practical recipes applicable to a large variety of trades. By 1860, Chase\'s book contained over six hundred recipes, and by 1863, over eight hundred recipes; its title became Dr. Chase\'s Recipes, or, Information For Everybody, and sold extremely well, largely through mail-order. At the time, many pioneers and settlers were eager to have a multi-purpose how-to guide to help them through the myriad of tasks and situations they faced.
