• Notes

  Larkin Coles became a Millerite preacher-physician who advocated good health practices. He wrote two books, "Philosophy of Health: Natural Principles of Health and Cure" and "The Beauties and Deformities of Tobacco-Using". Larkin is forever tied to Ellen White, a leader in the Seventh Day Adventist Church, who stand accused of plagarizing a good deal of his work. In his books Larkin showed great foresight to today's medicine in that he advocated fresh air, exercise, a vegetarian diet, non-use of stimulants, reform in dress, sexual purity, and drugless medicine. He, of course, died at a relatively young age of 52, ten years before the death of his parents.
