Medical Fringe and Medical Orthodoxy 1750-1850

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1987. Even as the professionalism of medicine progressed, many sufferers continued to rely on what would now be termed "fringe" practitioners - quacks, backstreet surgeons, bone-setters, Thomsonian botanists, holists and naturalists. The essays collected in this volume all present new research on this fascinating and diverse period in the history of medicine.
