ISBN10: 0719019036, ISBN13: 9780719019036, [publisher: Manchester University Press, Manchester] Hardcover First Edition 1989. xii, 280pp. "The history of medical quackery has generally been written anecdotally as a series of tales of knaves, rogues and imposters. This book challenges that approach and breaks new ground by relating the careers of dazzling english charlatans to the great mass of everyday medical empirics, itinerants and nostrum-mongers. It takes quackery out of the history of deception and gullibility and instead analyses it as a part of the growth of commercialised market-place medicine. not least, it seeks to examine irregular medicine from the customer's point of view." Book and unclipped jacket are in excellent condition with no inscriptions.
