In the early modern centuries a body of popularized medical
writings appeared, telling ordinary people how they could best take
care of their own health. Often written be doctors, such books gave
simple advice for home treatments, while commonly warning of the
dangers of magic, quackery, old wive's tales and faith-healing. The
Popularization of Medicine explores the rise of this form of
people's medicine, from the early days of printing to the Victorian
age, focusing on the different experiences of Britain, the
Continent and North America.
