[...] This book is not written for the specialist in medical history, to whom most of the facts are already well known. It is written primarily for the medical student and the medical practitioner, in an attempt to interest them in the history of their own profession, which, despite attacks and abuse, despite quacks and charlatans, and in spite of its own mistakes, has proved itself more enduring than any of the civilizations which gave birth to it.\" -- Preface. **Somewhat heavy or large item.
