"This wryly humorous collection of stories about bizarre medical treatments and cases offers a unique portrait of Victorian medicine in all its grisly weirdness ... Historian Thomas Morris has assembled the stories thematically so readers will witness mysterious illnesses (such as the Rhode Island woman who peed through her nose), horrifying operations (1635: A hungover Dutchman swallows a knife, which is then surgically removed from his stomach), dubious treatments ('take twelve young swallows out of the nest'), unfortunate predicaments (such as that of the boy who honked like a goose after inhaling a bird's larynx), and many other marvels"--Provided by publisher.
