Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a treatise on the history of quackery in the late 19th century. The author, a physician, writes from first-hand experience of the practices and scandals he exposes in detail. This book presents a critical and often humorous look at the outrageous health and beauty claims of the era, providing a fascinating look at the lengths to which some went to profit from the gullibility of their customers. The author does not spare his criticism of the medical establishment of the day, as he exposes the complicity of the medical profession in the perpetuation of fraudulent health and other deceptive products and services. While the specifics of this book are rooted in the Victorian era, the authorâs insights into the psychology of the quack and the psychology of the people who believe them are timeless and valuable for the reader interested in the history of medicine, the social history of the era, and the persistence of quackery through the ages. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780260125675_0
