Summary
"Lotions, Potions, Pills, and Magic is much more than a history of health in early America. It is a history of struggle, as natives and newcomers alike grappled with the obstacles imposed by biology, ecology, and fellow human beings. Breslaw's fearless appraisal, supported by stories and anecdotes, entertains, provokes, and cajoles. In the end it calls for a frank reconsideration of the history of America, its health, and its doctors."
