- Anna_Pierce_Hobbs_Bixby abstract "Anna Pierce Hobbs Bixby (1812–1873) was a physician in Illinois. She discovered that white snakeroot, (Ageratina altissima)contains a toxin. When cattle consume the plant, their meat and milk become contaminated and cause the sometimes fatal condition milk sickness. One of the most notable and tragic cases of the "milk sickness," was that of Nancy Hanks Lincoln, the mother of Abraham Lincoln, who died at 34 years old in 1818.Anna was the daughter of farmers, who had moved from Philadelphia and settled in Southeastern Illinois, close to the what would become the village of Rock Creek. After finishing school, Anna travelled to Philadelphia to train in midwifery and dentistry, but on her return to Illinois she became the only physician in her county, and consequently a general practitioner for her community.She became much interested in the Milk Sickness, which was causing a good deal of fatality among both people and calves, including Anna's mother and sister. Noting the seasonal nature of the disease, and the fact that sheep and goat milk were not affected she reasoned that the cause must be a poisonous herb. However, she was unable to determine the precise cause until she was shown the White Snakeroot by a medicine woman of the Shawnee tribe.Experiments on a calf confirmed the toxic effect of Snakeroot. However despite her efforts it was not until 1928 (55 years after her death) that research confirming her discovery was published. Her position as a frontier doctor and a woman would have made it hard for her to gain respect from the medical profession of the time.".
