The Whale Cure for Rheumatism in Australia
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating lithograph that takes us back to the early 20th century, showcasing an intriguing and unconventional medical treatment. The print depicts a scene from "The Graphic" magazine dated May 31,1902. In this vivid illustration, we witness the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Jones at an Australian coastal town seeking relief from rheumatism. Their journey across Australia has led them to this unique cure - the therapeutic powers of whales. As they step off their ship, weary but hopeful, they are greeted by a bustling crowd eager to witness this extraordinary remedy firsthand. The couple finds lodging in a quaint cabin near the shore where they will embark on their healing process. Dr. Ralston, renowned for his expertise in alternative medicine, guides them through each step of the therapy: warm baths infused with perfumes reminiscent of Arabia and oils extracted from putrid whale carcasses scuttled along the coastlines. Despite its unorthodox nature, testimonials from previous patients have hailed this method as miraculous. With hope shining brightly in their eyes and love supporting them every step of the way, Mr. and Mrs. Jones embrace this adventure as both husband and wife become willing martyrs to find solace from pain. This fascinating engraving not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us insight into historical medical practices that were once prevalent across Australia's vast landscapes.
