Excerpt from Hints on the Reproductive Organs: Their Diseases, Causes, and Cure on Hydropathic Principles
A human being is made up of body and soul. Each is subject to laws adapted to its nature, and therefore needs an interpreter. So, as in great emergencies, Nature makes ample provision, she has sent forth two classes of men, professional in character, ostensibly consecrated to certain duties, and fitted to perform them wisely and well. Man is Nature's greatest earthly creation. She fashioned him after a divine model, and wrapped him in beauty and glory as in a garment. His brow wears proofs of her labor. Her care for him has always been that of a mother full of solici tude and kindly effort. For his body there is the doctor, for his soul there is the clergyman. She expects them to do their duty, and that between them he will escape ills that otherwise will work his ruin.

James Caleb Jackson was an American physician, abolitionist, and nutritionist.
Background
Jackson was born on March 28, 1811, in Manlius, New York, where his father, James Jackson, a physician, son of Col. Giles Jackson of Tyringham, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, had moved. The mother of James Caleb was Mary Ann (Elderkin) Jackson, granddaughter of a Connecticut Revolutionary officer, Jedidiah Elderkin. Because of impaired health, the elder James Jackson gave up medicine and retired to a farm when his son was about twelve.
Education
At seventeen Jackson entered Manlius Academy to prepare for college. The death of his father prevented the completion of his academic work, however, and he abandoned all plans for a college education.
Career
Having become interested in the anti-slavery movement, Jackson made the acquaintance of Gerrit Smith, who advised him to come to Peterboro, New York. There he settled in 1838 and became an agent of the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society. In the spring of 1840 he was made the secretary of the American Anti-Slavery Society. He assisted Nathaniel P. Rogers in editing the National Anti-Slavery Standard (founded in June 1840) until Oliver Johnson became editor in June 1841. In the fall of 1840 Jackson lectured in western New York. Gerrit Smith invited him to edit a third-party paper and contributed considerably to its support. With Luther Myrick, he founded the Madison County Abolitionist at Cazenovia, New York, in September 1841. After a year this was sold by the publishers and Jackson moved to Utica where for two years he was editor of the Liberty Press. He then went to Albany and purchased the Albany Patriot, which he edited until 1846, when poor health caused him to sell the paper to William L. Chaplin. In June 1847, at Macedon Lock, New York, he was one of the sponsors of the Liberty League, a fourth party, which had grown out of the Liberty Party. During the months of his illness he had been under the care of Dr. S. O. Gleason of Cuba, New York. Long interested in medicine, Jackson soon formed a partnership with Gleason and Theodosia Gilbert. At the head of Skaneateles Lake they opened a hygienic institute known as the "Glen Haven Water Cure. " In the winter of 1849-1850 Gleason withdrew from the partnership and in the fall of 1858 Jackson himself left Glen Haven and moved to Dansville, New York. There he opened a water cure that became famous as "Our Home Hygienic Institute. " In 1879 he turned over the management of it to his son, Dr. James H. Jackson. Possessing religious convictions concerning the necessity of reform, Jackson was unwearied in his search for conditions that needed remedying. For many years he was the assistant editor of The Laws of Life, a periodical devoted to hydropathy and the advertisement of "Our Home. " He acquired a reputation among his contemporaries as a popular orator and writer. Of his half-dozen popular books on medicine only one now has a claim to notice: How to Treat the Sick Without Medicine (Dansville, New York, 1868), an exposition of his hypdropathic practices, briefly summarized as " 'Tis Nature cures the sick. " From 1886 to 1895 he lived in North Adams, Massachusetts; his death occurred while he was on a visit to Dansville, on July 11, 1895.

Views
Jackson was an active member of the association for dress reform, and he fought against what he considered the evils of rum and tobacco. He held drug medication to be "the popular delusion of the nineteenth century and the curse of the age"; hydropathy became his favorite reform.
