We believe that the reflection around the content of this material and its circulation (we raised signs of an interesting circulation in Latin America at the end of the 19th century) contributes to the construction of a clearer understanding of the general panorama of the period, since the debates in this type of literature and the adoption of certain strategies in order to disseminate the proposals for cure and prevention, as well as to obtain legitimacy for them, seem to indicate some of the characteristics of the exchanges and disputes signed in this context by different agents. Compreendendo a medicina oitocentista como um complexo e vasto campo, composto por diferentes formatos de saberes e práticas de cura, com linhas interpretativas diversas a respeito das noções de “saúde” e “doença” e das sugestões terapêuticas, propomos a análise de um modelo específico apresentado pelo homeopata estadunidense Frederick Humphreys em seu manual de medicina popular “Humphreys Mentor”. Acreditamos que a reflexão em torno do conteúdo desse material e da sua circulação (levantamos indícios de uma interessante circulação na América Latina em fins do século XIX) contribui para a construção de uma compreensão mais clara de um panorama geral do período, uma vez que os debates apresentados nesse tipo de literatura e a adoção de certas estratégias no sentido de difundir as propostas de cura e prevenção, bem como, de angariar legitimação para as mesmas, parecem indicar algumas das características das trocas e disputas firmadas nesse contexto por diferentes agentes.
