New York Institute of Physicians and Surgeons (Adkin)

The New York Institute of Physicians and Surgeons of Rochester, New York that was a vehicle for the mail-order promotion and sale of Thomas F. Adkin's Vitaopathy, a medical treatment scheme based on the application of mind cure in conjunction with proprietary vegetable remedies. The concern was in operation from 1900 through to 1905, at which time it was denied access to the U.S. mails under a fraud order issued by the Postmaster General.
