The Funny Side of Physic, or the Mysteries of Medicine, Presenting the Humorous and Serious Sides of Medical Practice: An Exposé of Medical Humbugs, ... All Ages and All Countries (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from The Funny Side of Physic, or the Mysteries of Medicine, Presenting the Humorous and Serious Sides of Medical Practice: An Exposé of Medical Humbugs, Quacks, and Charlatans in All Ages and All Countries
The apothecaries, as well as physicians, are descanted on, and the miserable tricks to which the large majority of them resort, exposed. The public will be astonished to find what trash in the matter of drugs it pays for; how filthy, vile, and often poisonous and hurtful materials people buy for medicines at extortionate prices, how even the syrups which they drink in soda drawn from costly and splendid fountains are often made from the most filthy materials, and are not fit for the lower animals, not to say human beings, to drink. And this fact is only illustrative of hundreds of others set forth in this work.
