The Electric Corset and Other Victorian Miracles: Medical Devices and Treatments from the Golden Age of Quackery
Jeremy Agnew
Takes a thorough look at unconventional medical gadgets, as well as the strange devices and therapies used by both fringe and legitimate healers, and places them in the perspective of modern medicine. The author argues that quackery should not be defined by the ineffectiveness of a therapy, but rather be based on fraudulent intent.
