Thomas Corbett (Shaker doctor)
Thomas Corbett (1780–1857) was a Shaker brother of the Canterbury community in the state of New Hampshire (United States) who was well known nationally for his botanical medicines and innovative cures as a medical doctor and pharmacist.
== Early life ==
Corbett was born in 1780 at Hopkinton, New Hampshire. He was living in the Shaker Village of Enfield, New Hampshire, in 1790 with his family. The Corbett family moved to the Canterbury Shaker Community in 1794. He was described at this time by Shaker historian Henry Blinn as medium in height, light hair, hazel eyes, and having an inquisitive mind. He was considered an honest person with deep religious feelings.
Corbett designed Canterbury's first fire engine of a 24-man crew when he was in his early adulthood. He also built some tall clocks around this time. Sometime around 1808 Corbett became interested in medicine. One of his medical innovations was hernia-relieving devices called "Rocking Trusses" that became quite popular and were sold to people outside the Canterbury Shaker community. The back cover of certain Shaker catalogs listed the "Reimproved Rocking Trusses," "Single, Double, and Umbilical – adapted to all ages and sexes, for the relief and permanent cure of Hernia or Rupture." They were made by Corbett at the Canterbury Shaker community, and all orders were to be addressed to him.
