Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book details the vast array of drugs, ointments, and chemicals sold at the turn of the 20th Century. The sale of these medicines, frequently containing dubious ingredients, was largely unregulated. The author, who operated a drugstore, positions these products within a historical narrative where people self-medicated for a wide range of ailments with often questionable results. The book explores the sometimes-fatal consequences of medications that were often more harmful than the symptoms they were meant to relieve. 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. Seller Inventory # 9780260182050_0
