A GE N IUS,
like a real orator, or any truly great
is born and not ma de. The fact is he. is
such a combination of faculti es and a da pt a tion
as to preclud e the p ossibil ity o f bein g ma de. H e is so
far above the o rdin a ry laws of p sychic phenomena , so
unique in his a dapt a tion, and so e ff ective in the d irec ti on
of aptitu de as to be a law unto hi mself .
In say ing a man of ge nius is not the crea ti on of the
schools, I do not mean th a t the schools cann ot in struct
and in form him, even along the line of his impulsion,
but th a t all instru cti on and in fo rma ti on communica ted to
hi m in stead of be' ng assi mil a ted by the fa culties of the
mind in genera l, are chiefl y abso rbed by the fac ulty o f
specia l endow ment.
A geniu s does thin gs fo r which N a tu re h as especia ll y
designed him with pleasurabl e ease, while others must
toi l and struggle and then be rewarded w ith mediocre

success .

Truth s in the line of his a da pt ati on a re pe rceive d as

others have to di g and delve and agonize in b rain

all his competitors, and long ere th ey reach the cove ted

P1 NKA RD
DR. JOHN HENRY PINKARD. of Roanoke,
Virginia, a student of Physiology, Anatomy, Pathology.
Chemistry, Botan·y, Mater ia Medica , etc.
He is a
manufacturer and chemist, manufacturing from roots,
barks, leaves, buds, Rowers and shrubs hi s famous remedies, and compounding them in forms so potent and efficacious as to produce cures marvelous and wonderfully
astonishing to humanity.
But what has this wonderful man done Jo merit encomiums· so high? A son of Sam and Sarah Pinkard ,
he was born in Franklin County, Virginia, in 1865. So
great were the privations of the family, that at the tender age of eleven, of his own volition and against th e
protest of his mother, John became the main support of
the family.
At the age of fifte en he is found working
for the Norfolk and \ Vestern R ai lway Compa ny, on the
New River Divi sion of that system, which at that time
was under construction, employed as a waler boy. After
a few months in tha t capaci ty, havin g learn ed from the
walking boss how lo read on the stakes the figures indicating the required grades, and one of the Iri sh bosses
being called home, young John is given a gang of twe lve
men to boss in a dirt cut at $2.75 a day where he mad e
good. An uncle of hi s quit work and went home rather
than work under his you thful nephew. At the age of
eighteen he purchased for the family a farm of 88 ac res .
which th ey afterwards lost because of a defective title .
Instead of sapping hi s energies in p in in g over this reverse of fortune, he se t out to regain his lost ground and
to win his way in th e world.
�NEGRO MEDICAL GE N IU S

H e enters West P enn Unive rsity, Pitt sburgh , P enn sy l\'ania, and pursues a course in me di ci ne . After prac ticin g ten yea rs in that city he returns to his native county,
and lo his home town, Rocky Mount, Virginia. H ere
it was th at he began lo manufacture those bot anica l
remedies that a re ma king him f amous and opulent. He
also manufactures a most excellent perfume making his
own odor ba ses . At first he put hi s products on sale
wi th white wholesale and retail dru ggists.
Ei ght years ago a ft er experiencing vicissitudes that
would have discourage d and utterly broken th e spirit of
a less determi ned man he move d lo hi s present site and
modestly began making, handling and prescribing hi s
ow n remedies. Hi s practice h as had a most phenomenal growth and his success has been by le aps and
bounds. Thi s is attested by the fac t that within the last
eight yea rs he has collected from the sale of hi s remedies
more th an two hundred thousand doll a rs , his weekly income averaging between one thousand a nd fifteen hundred dol lars. It is within the bounds of absolute ce r tainty th at he is more largely consulted than any one N egro D octor in the United States for he numbers amon g
hi s thou sands of pat rons p erson s in a ll walks of life a nd
nine-tenths of them are white people. They come to
him from all parts of the country. His reco rd s for 1919
d isclose the fact th a t he had patrons from at least fiftee n stal es and the District of Columbia. Peopl e f rom
a long dis tance come lo Roanoke and remain several
days awa iting an opportunity lo consult him.

eager lo have just a word wiih the Doctor. E very day
many are turned away, and yet he does not advertise or
ask for testimonials.
H ow, then, do we account for his great hold upon the
public mind? H e does not possess even a striking or
commanding p ersonality. When you see him, there is
no beauty tha t you should admire him . Black in color,
he has a ll the features of head and face and a lustre
in the eye that betoken intelligence and a benevolent
spirit.
Such is the description of Dr. Pinkard as lo education and physical appearance. How then do we account
for his marvelous skill in making and compounding medic:ne, treating all forms of diseases successfully, and telling people thei r ailments and how long they have been
affec ted by a mere glance? There is but one answer.
Nature made him a genius of a very high order in the
healing a rt. A nother dash forward and she would have
produced a prodigy, like Blind Tom, the famous musician. Ever indul gent to those who woo her in the right
Way and in the p roper spirit, she has yielded up to him
her secrets of efficacious combinations; and to less
favored and envious members of the profession the D octor will not reveal the secrets.
Fram what has been said about the Doctor's youthful
exploits in earning for the family, it may be seen that
he has business sagacity as well. Not only can he make
money, but he has the ability to save and wisely invest
it. In addition to fifteen houses in the City of Roanoke,
and his place of eight acres within the corporate limits
of Rocky Mount, he has four farms. One of one hun-

dred acres w ithin one mile of Salem , with a ll conveniences and appliances for p oultry raising. Another of
eighteen acres, five miles west of Roanoke, on which is
an excellent vineyard, and two splendid f arms in Franklin County, thirty-two miles south of R oanoke.
Dr. P inkard is intensely religious, a local c!eacnn in
the A. M. E . Church and a member of th(' Virgin ia
Annual Conference. H e strictly observes the Christian
Sabba th, his laboratory and store heing closed the entire
day, has family worship daily, and regards all tha t he
is in ability io make medicines and lo treat a lmost a ll
sorts · of disease~ as a specia l gift from G od. H e still
holds his membership in B ethel A. M. E.. Chu rch, ir.

has a host of friends.
.
About eight years ago the D octor married Miss Mary
Joyce, his present wife, daughter of L ewis and Susan
Joyce, of Floyd County, Virginia. Had he s~arched
the entire country over, it is doubtful if he could have
found a more suitable companion, a worthier helpmate
or a more fittin g complement. She assists in the prepara tion of his medicines and does many things th a t inure lo
his success. H erself fin ely poised, she is a sa fe balance

She is modest, and exhibits none of those di sagreeable
traits of many of the newly well-to-do. B oth she and

I NCE the publication, by R ev. G. R obert Jones,
o f the life and work of Dr. J ohn H. Pinkard,
America's grea t medical genius, of which ever y
citizen of the country should be proud, ra'p id progress
and m a rked imp rovements in other lines of usefulness
have been made. We, there fore, feel it incumbent upon
us, for the benefit of the public a t large, to supplement
this remarkable edition w ith additional in formation .
\ Xie hope tha t those into whose h ands this edit ion may
fa ll will be so fill ed with inspira tion tha t, irrespective
of race o r creed, they might be led to the pursuit of
grea ter works, giving glory and honor unto the Allwise
Being to whom this world wonder ascribes a ll he is.
and ever will be. To h is beloved mother a nd devoted
wife is this edi tion dedicated . To know that we have
such a genius as Dr. J ohn H. Pinkard in the realm of
medical science should be an inspira tion to all; but
th:s is not the zenith of his ambition. His ambit ion is
to be engaged in a still broader sphere of usefulness to
humanity. Like the pebble dropped in the center of
the pool, he h as made a circle which has so expa nded as
to enclose other ente rprises, viz. : Investments in real
estate, banking, etc. Apart from his direct superv ision
of the manufacturing a nd prepara tion of medicines
suited to the various compl aints and to relieve the
troubles as d iagnosed by what he terms "sp iritua l
x-ray," i.e.~ a knowl edge of internal inspection of his

as are financially depressed or embarrassed, by using

Besides other buildings, we pub! ish he rew ith a

Description
An account of the resource
The Davis Photographic Records contain approximately 12,200 black and white images, negatives, glass plate negatives and glass lantern slides. Black and white prints vary in size between 5"x7", 8"x10" and various oversized prints; 8"x10" glass plate negatives; 5"x7" and 8"x10" negatives; 3"x5" glass lantern slides. All Davis images can be dated circa 1904-1968. There are images with Davis' signature that predate 1904, but they are believed to have been taken by Chandler Studio, the photography firm bought out by Davis in 1904. Although the majority of Davis' images are marked with his signature in the lower right corner, it is important to note that not all of the images are marked. Davis rarely recorded identifying information on the images. For this reason, many of his images are unidentifiable. The majority of images from the Davis Collection seen on this database are street scenes, businesses and points of interest in Roanoke and its vicinity where it was possible to at least minimally identify them. While the Virginia Room has a large number of portraits from Davis' collection, they are not represented here. An index of all identified portraits is available in the Virginia Room.
