COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION
What won17t we try in our quest for perfect health, beauty, and
the fountain of youth? Well, just imagine a time when doctors
prescribed morphine for crying infants. When liquefied gold
was touted as immortality in a glass. And when
strychnine12yes, that strychnine, the one used in rat
poison12was dosed like Viagra. Looking back with fascination,
horror, and not a little dash of dark, knowing humor, Quackery
recounts the lively, at times unbelievable, history of medical
misfires and malpractices. Ranging from the merely weird to
the outright dangerous, here are dozens of outlandish,
morbidly hilarious 20treatments2112conceived by doctors and
scientists, by spiritualists and snake oil salesmen (yes, they
literally tried to sell snake oil)12that were predicated on a
range of cluelessness, trial and error, and straight-up scams.
With vintage illustrations, photographs, and advertisements
throughout, Quackery seamlessly combines macabre humor
with science and storytelling to reveal an important and
disturbing side of the ever-evolving field of medicine. nbsp
