[229] It has already been noted (p. 157) that under Branting’s directorship of the Central Institute in Stockholm (1839-1862) foreign physicians began to be attracted by the new system of treatment, and among them Mathias Roth of London. Roth afterwards published “The Prevention and Cure of Many Chronic Diseases by Movements” (London, 1851), a translation of “The Gymnastic Free Exercises of P. H. Ling, Arranged by H. Rothstein” (London, New York, and Boston, 1853), and “Handbook of the Movement Cure” (London, 1856). The first American physicians to write at length on the subject were the Taylor brothers of New York, George H. Taylor “An Exposition of the Swedish Movement Cure” (New York, Fowler & Wells) in 1860, and Charles F. Taylor his “Theory and Practice of the Movement Cure” (Philadelphia, Lindsay & Blakiston) a year later. Bayard Taylor spent the late winter and spring of 1857 in Stockholm, visiting the Central Institute regularly as a “patient,” and described his experiences in letters to the _New York Tribune_ and in his volume “Northern Travel” (London and New York, 1857. Consult pp. 202-206). [230] George Barker Winship, born at Roxbury, Mass., January 3, 1834, and died at the same place (of heart disease) September 12, 1876. He was educated at Harvard University (A.B. 1854, M.D. 1857), and in June of 1859 gave his first lecture on physical training, with an exhibition of heavy lifting, in Music Hall, Boston, repeating these afterwards in many places throughout the northern states and Canada. In the sixties and early seventies he conducted a private gymnasium on Washington Street, Boston, next door to the Boston Theater. See his “Autobiographical Sketches of a Strength-Seeker,” in the _Atlantic Monthly_ for January, 1862 (=9=, 102-115), an article on “Physical Culture” in the _Massachusetts Teacher_ for April, 1860 (=13=, 126-132), and an item in the latter magazine for April, 1861 (=14=, 159). Among the literary announcements of Ticknor & Fields in the _Atlantic Monthly_ for August, 1862, a book on “Health and Strength” by Dr. Winship is mentioned as “in press,” but it seems never to have been published.
