Exposing Quackery and Nostrums
By Editor
"Nostrums and Quackery; Articles on the Nostrum Evil and Quackery, Reprinted from the Journal of the American Medical Association." Press of American Medical Association, 555 Dearborn Ave., Chicago, Ill. Cloth. It is not necessary to say much more in regard to this important volume than to call attention to its title and the source from which it comes. The volume is in three parts. The first is devoted to quackery, the second to nostrums, and the third to miscellaneous subjects. The various quack methods are taken up and exposed in a clear and forceful manner. The nostrums that are so extensively advertised as "cure-alls" are analyzed, so that no one need be duped by them. In the miscellaneous section many of the fake cures that are advertised so extensively are held up before the light of twentieth century medical understanding. In this time, when the medical profession has attained such a high degree of skill, proficiency, and scientific knowledge, there is no need of any one's being misled by a quack or a patent medicine fakir. To save the people from falling into the hands of medical impostors, this volume is most timely indeed.
