Product Description
In early modern centuries disease was rampant, and it was no surprise that popularized medical writings appeared, aiming to explain how ordinary people could take care of their own health. Often written by doctors, these writings gave advice for home treatments, and warned of the dangers of magic, quackery, old wives' tales and faith healing.
The Popularization of Medicine explores the rise of this form of people's medicine, from the early days of printing to the Victorian age, focusing upon the different experiences of Britain and France, more marginal countries like Spain and Hungary, and upon North America.
