Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This charming book, full of humor and heart, takes the reader on a journey through the life and times of Lysander Dobson, the village quack. The narrative is set in a small, isolated New England village in the late 1800s, where superstition and quackery thrive. The author delves into the absurdity of the medical practices of the time, and the gullibility of those who sought cures from them. Through the character of Dobson, the author critiques the credulous nature of society and the dangers of relying on unproven remedies and beliefs. However, it steers clear of being judgmental, instead opting to focus on humor and satire. In doing so, the book provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of medicine and human nature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331593546_0
