This research examines the health reform writings of Fuller, Fern, and Whitman in the context of the New York publishing industry, which at the time began promoting diet and exercise regimens as an extension of the goal of strengthening democracy and the body politic. Analysis centers on texts dedicated to health reform that offer alternatives to, and extensions of, Beecher’s Treatise on Domestic Economy (1841), which set the keynote for the topic on a national scale and dominated mainstream understandings of how to build a strong democracy privately in the domestic sphere.
