Blanchard, William

At several points in his career, Julian received critical support, encouragement and guidance from several mentors, mostly whites. The first and most important was William Blanchard of DePauw, who first inspired Julian s love of chemistry. Blanchard wanted Julian to be chair of DePauw s chemistry department. He would be the first black professor of chemistry in any white institution in America. However, Blanchard s enlightemnent was not universally shared by some of his colleagues who deemed such an appointment as inadvisable (de BCruif, 1946).

Before examining Civil War pharmacy directly, it is essential to understand the therapeutic contexts in which that care was provided. This can be done by carefully reviewing the standard texts of the period. There are several authoritative guides The Pharmacopoeia of the United States of America, Fourth Decennial Edition (Philadelphia J. B. Lippincott, 1863) George B. Wood and Franklin Bache, The Dispensatory of the United States of America, Eleventh Edition (Philadelphia J. B. Lippincott, 1858) George B. Wood, A Treatise on the Practice of Medicine, 2 volumes. Fifth Edition (Philadelphia J. B. Lippincott, 1858) William Headland, The Action of Medicines in the System, Third Edition (Philadelphia Lindsay and Blakis-ton, 1859) and Alfred Stille, Therapeutics and Materia Medica, 2 volumes. Second Edition (Philadelphia Blanchard and Lea, 1864). Once the theory and practice of medicine during the war are understood, pharmacy begins to take on some familiar forms as the material expression of nineteenth-century medical rationalism.
