A humorous and critical look at the history of medical quackery.

Are you suffering from a life-threatening illness? Do you possess chronic fatigue, sexual dysfunction, severe mental impairment, or have to endure constant, debilitating pain? If not, then you might do so after reading this book! Quacks! tells the story of the strangest and most insane doctors, surgeons, and psychiatrists from throughout history, as well as the often cruel (and always absurd) diet-fads, treatment-regimes, and beliefs they unleashed out onto an unsuspecting world. This volume proves once and for all that the one thing there really isn't a cure for is human gullibility.

From snake-oil salesmen to quack diets, this historical analysis explores the fraudulent practices and bizarre treatments that have plagued the medical world for centuries. It's perfect for readers interested in medical history, true crime, and the enduring power of pseudo-science.
