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. 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. When liquefied gold was touted as immortality in a glass.
