A pioneering woman physician and a
mail-order business for women's

Thompson
Envelopes she mailed
to prospective patients

envelope contained the
return envelope (bottom) and the

exam sheet front,

mail-order medical treatment.
San Francisco must have been
excited about its exposition, or

promotes an event taking place
three years hence.

generously donated the Thompson
advertising material to this
museum. The daughter of Dr.
Thompson's third husband, Jerrie
Wacholder, contributed the
biographical information and
documents.
