Biography
Elmer Lee was born in Ohio in 1856;[1] he graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University, in 1877, with an A.B.; Lee received his A.M. in 1880.[2] He then moved to St. Louis, where he taught in public schools and worked in newspapers.[3] Lee earned his M.D. from the Missouri Medical College (now the Washington University School of Medicine) in 1880 and his Ph.D. from Saint Louis University in 1886.[2] He then moved to Chicago, where he lived for ten years.[3] Lee studied cholera in Germany and Russia, living for a time in Saint Petersburg.[4]
Lee started the healthy living magazine Health Culture in 1894;[5] it heavily promoted a plant-based diet.[6] Lee remained as editor for 23 years,[3] before being succeeded by Arthur Vos;[7] the magazine continued publishing until 1964.[8]Шаблон:Rp Lee moved to New York City in 1898.[3] He was acting Assistant Surgeon in the Spanish–American War.[1] On November 23, 1898, he testified before a commission investigating conduct in the war.[9] In 1902, Lee patented a reservoir for dispensing liquid soap.[10]
In 1908, Lee authored an article in The New York Times about the founding of a "Hospital of Hygiene".[11] Lee started working as a naturopath in 1910 and developed a health movement known as the "hygienic system", inspired by Russel Trall.[12] In the same year, Lee was the subject of an article by The New York Times, entitled "Dr. Lee pleads for better foods", in which he advocated for curing disease through a diet of "live organic plant-foods" and asserted that societal maladies, such as drunkenness, were due to people not following a sufficiently nutritious diet;[13] this article has been described as the first known use of the phrase "plant-foods" to describe a vegetarian diet.[14]
In 1910, Lee reprinted Rupert H. Wheldon's No Animal Food and Nutrition and Diet with Vegetable Recipes, one of the first British vegan recipe books; it included a quote from Lee, stating that a "Plant diet with butter, cream, milk, cheese, eggs, lard, fat, suet, or tallow added to it, is not vegetarian; it is mixed diet; the same in effect as if meat were used."[14] Around 1921, Lee invented a plant milk, derived from oats and peanut meal.[8]Шаблон:Rp
Lee served as the Vice-President of the American Academy of Medicine[15] and held offices in the American Medical Association and the American Social Science Association;[4] he was on the advisory committee of the American Super-Race Foundation[16] and worked as a lecturer for the New York Board of Education.[17]
Lee retired around 1935 and donated his medical books to Ohio Wesleyan University.[4] He died at Cincinnati Sanitarium, College Hill, Cincinnati, on June 13, 1945.[18]
