FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. I: Lithographed frontispiece. Publisher's pebbled cloth, blind-stamped on coves with gilt title and design on spine. A fine copy from the library of Robert J. Moes (1905-1988), a physician and bibliophile who lived in Los Angeles, with his bookplate. II: With frontispiece and text illustrations. Original gilt decorated cloth (edges and corners rubbed); a few leaves browned, inner joints weakened. III: Full-page and text illustrations throughout. Original printed wrappers with an illustration of Dr. Weelumi MacLure "Beside the Bonnie Brier Bush" on the front cover; a fine copy. I: The true first American edition, published simultaneously with the first London printing, a satirical exposé of quackery in the form of a series of essays about English doctors. The author tackles both the general medical practice, describing the early English physician, his dress and wig, his dispassionate nature, fees, and the rise of women as physicians, and further tucks into specific, well-loved figures such as Thomas Browne, Kennelm Digby, Hans Soane, John Radcliffe and Richard Mead, among other luminaries. He skewers specific writings of many well-known medical authors throughout history, and the results are actually quite hilarious. Jeaffreson (1831-1901) was an English novelist and inspector of historical documents. His books did not stop with physicians; he also wrote books about lawyers, the clergy, brides and bridegrooms, and in a rush of genius about "the table." II: First edition of this interesting collection of articles on the curious phases of the history, literature, and folklore of the medical profession. Edited by William Andrews, of the Hull Press in Hull, and author of a large number of histories in England. The writings include Barber-Surgeons; The Gold-Headed Cane; Chaucer's Doctor of physic; and much more. III: SUGGESTIVE READING FOR DOCTORS. First printing (?) of a pamphlet containing synopses, with drawings, of the characters in works by Jewett, Howells, Eliot, Stevenson, Dostoevsky, Barrie, etc. These are provided as suggestive reading "of especial interest to Doctors." Full-page illustrations include Dr. Leslie (The country doctor by Jewett), Dr. Anther (Son of Royal Langbrith by Howells), Dr. Jeckyll (obvious), and Dr. Boekmann (Hans Brinker by Mary Mapes Dodge) to name just a few. Arlington Chemical Company was the maker of Peptonoids (liquid or dry), cure-all for typhoid, adynamia, pneumonia, gastro-intestinal inflammation and other varieties of ailments.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A hilarious take on "expert" child rearing books. This guide is intended to satirize the concept of the many self-proclaimed child experts with really no qualifications to lend to that, and the many books they put out with questionable advice on parenting. Nothing in this book is meant to be taken seriously. William Doctors is an uneducated layman who has seemingly no experience with children, but boy is he full of advice on how to raise them. It is hinted at throughout the book that William Doctors has been convicted of crimes relating to his fraudulent medical advice, and is possibly under investigation for further crimes in several countries. Interestingly, the book is laid out in such a way that the topics discussed are in fact from several medical websites which list things to expect during certain age groups. The book rapidly diverges from the legitimate medical advice and is a series of conspiracy theories, rantings of an absolute lunatic, with several appearances of misogyny and vague racism, as one might expect from the caliber of man who would write this book. This book is classified as humor, however it should be noted that all of the information is presented in a deadpan delivery which is intended to appear as though the author truly believes this advice is worth giving. Follow William Doctors down a rabbit hole full of absurd medical theories and just downright awful parenting advice. Enjoy, and look for more in this line of books next year where we'll be covering such topics as free legal advice, parenting teens, and "The Liberal Agenda" as told by a complete fool. Enjoy, and remember: don't sue me over the advice in this book. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
