Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From the harangues of charlatans to the sophisticated advertising of the Victorian era, quackery sports a colourful history. Featuring entertaining advertisements from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this book investigates the inventive ways in which quack remedies were promoted and suggests that the people who bought them should not be written off as gullible after all.
