The Leeper Controversy (Extracts from The Health Biographies of Alexander Leeper, Robert Louis He was on the Council of the Melbourne University where he recommended reforms http://users.chariot.net.au/~posture/TheLeeperHypoControversy.html
Extractions: The Posture Theory homepage The Alexander Leeper Hypochondria Controversy (Extracts from "The Health Biographies of Alexander Leeper, Robert Louis Stevenson, And Fanny Stevenson" and "The Posture Theory 11th edition") The ancient Greeks coined the word hypochondria because of their assessment that the many and varied symptoms were caused by a disorder originating beneath the cartilages of the lower ribs, however throughout the twentieth century the prevailing view was that the set of symptoms were related to a fear of imaginary illnesses which produced an unwarranted and irrational interest in health. Nevertheless in my assessment the primary factor which generated an interest in health was the fact that doctors were unable to provide a plausible explanation for a persons symptoms and because the person had not achieved a cure despite the fact that they had diligently followed medical advice and taken the prescribed treatment for many years.

The Outlaws, Jesse And Frank James Frank and Jesse James father, Robert Sallee James was born July 17, Alexander Franklin James and Jesse Woodson James were born, respectively, http://www.tsgraves.com/theOutlaws/history.htm
Extractions: Not since the days of the noted English highwayman Robin Hood and his merry men has an outlaw captured the imagination of the public, as the hard-riding, straight-shooting bank and train robbers, Frank and Jesse James and their bushwhacking band of outlaws. They are perhaps the most famous robbers of the old West, not excluding Kentucky. In Missouri their birthplace is a state monument, the only one for any outlaw. They gave the nation its first peacetime bank robbery and perfected train robbing, the first was on August 7, 1863. The Liberty, Missouri Tribune, a pro-Union newspaper, carried the following item: Robert S. James graduated from Georgetown College, having completed all requirements of the four-year classical course, on June 29, 1843. His degree was the Bachelor of Arts. According to faculty records, final examination for the senior class was taken on May 24, 1843. Robert is listed as having tied for third place honors in the class. For his accomplishment, he was awarded the opportunity to present an oration at the commencement exercises. All associates who knew him spoke of him as a kindly man of God. So convincing as a Minister one would remember his sermons the rest of their life. He was an educator, gifted orator, and a successful farmer. By the time school ended in the spring of 1841 they were not speaking. Most young men in those days had strong beliefs that a woman should be silent and not express their political thoughts. Zerelda was of the Cole and Lindsay Families, who had been famous for their courageous deeds during the Revolutionary War. She inherited these same traits, and with her education it made her unwilling to comply with his wishes. But three days later before fall 1841, the desire and love for Zerelda was too strong, Robert proposed to her. Robert and Zerelda were married December 28, 1841 at the home of Uncle Judge James Madison Lindsay, in Stamping Ground, Kentucky. The house is still standing and presently owned by Marguerite Sprague on Locust Fork Pike, Scott County.
