"Mr. Young presents us with an account, at once scholarly and entertaining, of the rise of the patent medicine trade from its beginnings in colonial America until the passage of the first Federal Food and Drug law, and places it in proper historical perspective. Medical frauds are treated not merely as amusing follies of the past but as significant phenomena of importance today" (John B. Blake).--(Some pages have pencil underlinings).
