Bancroft, Barb Medical Minutiae
Lake Villa, IL CPP Associates 1994 0945115024 / 9780945115021 No Edition Soft Cover New No Jacket Salcido, Frank Signed
This book is loaded with incidents of medical mistakes, misinformation, and just plain nuttiness. Some of the information is gleaned from surveys, some from simple surveys Barb Bancroft has done (how many of each color M & M in a bag) and then interpreted the results - sort of. It includes old-fashioned dietary treatments for diseases that used to be quite serious, and odd treatments for minor ailments. ". . .it was once thought that a healthy sneeze served to cleanse the brain. Hippocrates, in all of his infinite wisdom, considered the sneeze as dangerous sign of lun disease, but also a curative for some cases of hiccups." 141 pages, illustrated with drawings. A fun book to read! 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
