The Joanna Stephens Medicines for the Stone: A Faith That Failed

A historical-medicine paper read on 16 April 1942 at the Grolier Club's exhibition on books on healing by faith, fraud, and superstition in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, archived in full at PubMed Central (PMCID PMC1933931; no PMID is assigned to this pre-indexing article). The full text survives on PMC only as scanned page images, so this bundle cites the confirmed bibliographic record (author, title, journal, volume, issue, pages) and its own retrospective title -- A Faith That Failed -- as the paper's documented verdict on the medicine's general efficacy, without quoting body text verbatim: a mechanical re-check found the PMC page intermittently serves a reCAPTCHA challenge page to unauthenticated automated fetches (confirmed directly), which would make a literal verify-quotes block unreliable even though the exhibition-title text was confirmed present by direct interactive fetch.
