Synopsis
Excerpt from Why Doctor Dobson Became a Quack: And Other Stories
Instead of stereotyped phraseology and severe logic, so often characterizing efiorts along this line, a lighter vein of humor, satire and romance has been attempted; but it is hoped that the deeper and more serious thread, that is designed to run through it, may not escape the reader, but that its influence may be to stimulate the substitution of common judgment and common sense for the blind, unthinking credulity which is responsi ble for the distinguishing disgrace of this country and age - Medical Quackery.

Why Doctor Dobson Became a Quack: And Other Stories (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This charming book, full of humor and heart, takes the reader on a journey through the life and times of Lysander Dobson, the village quack. The narrative is set in a small, isolated New England village in the late 1800s, where superstition and quackery thrive. The author delves into the absurdity of the medical practices of the time, and the gullibility of those who sought cures from them. Through the character of Dobson, the author critiques the credulous nature of society and the dangers of relying on unproven remedies and beliefs. However, it steers clear of being judgmental, instead opting to focus on humor and satire. In doing so, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of medicine and human nature. 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. Seller Inventory # 9781331593546_0
