D. C. Jarvis was an American physician from Vermont, best known for drinking vinegar folk medicine. He recommended a mixture of raw apple cider vinegar and honey, variously called switchel or honegar, as a health tonic. He promoted the use of vinegar to keep the acidity of the body more acidic than alkaline, which he believed treated medical problems like burns and varicose veins.
