Description ▲
1933. A concise history of scientific medicine. Copiously illustrated. There is probably no more fascinating story than that of the rise of scientific medicine. Its beginnings were in mystery and superstition; its progress encumbered with ignorance and quackery. Above these it has risen to become the most beneficent science of the modern world.
