What won't we try in our quest for perfect health, beauty, and the fountain of youth? Well, just imagine a time when doctors prescribed morphine for crying infants. When liquefied gold was touted as immortality in a glass. And when strychnine - yes, that strychnine, the one used in rat poison - was dosed like Viagra. Looking back with fascination, horror, and not a little dash of dark, knowing humor, Quackery recounts the lively, at times unbelievable, history of medical misfires and malpractices.

Computer-generated Narrator. Dated Humour.

I found it alright, although the humor was mediocre at best. There was also a hint of the author's political beliefs in here, though it felt out of place for the book this is. I would have preferred a more unbiased and factual alternative to this book, but for people who enjoy storytelling to compliment non-fiction this is a decent read.
