Ellsworth Pierce was the brother of my husband’s great-grandmother, Lillian Pierce Cossaboon. He lived in Bridgeton, New Jersey and was a drugless physician. I found these various articles/ads about him in the Bridgeton Evening News, dated May/June 1920. Perhaps this explains why I found an article on him rolling around in the snow for his heath. 🙂
