Review
Bibliophiles, medical historians, and collectors of Americana will find this extremely well documented book a treasure trove of information.
(
Choice)
This intriguing collection,... which features some beautifully reproduced illustrated posters from the mid-nineteenth century, is a welcome contribution to the histories of print culture, the mass market, and medicine. By demonstrating how these three histories have been intertwined, it is also a pioneering one.

Popular health texts illuminate the practice of medicine itself and the experiences of sickness, birth, and death... Such texts provide useful insight into worldview as well as bedside practice. Popular guides to health were—and still are—relevant to historians seeking to understand the changing uses of medicine as cultural ideology.
(from the Preface)
This book is a serious and original contribution to the history of popular medicine and its print culture.
(Christopher Lawrence, The Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine)
