medicine in rural New York State in the 19th Century including the Civil War period.
Be warned! You may stay up and lose sleep reading this book.
I was excited to read more about Dr. Allen after learning he graduated from the same school Castleton Medical School as my 3rd Great Grandfather and grew up in the same area.
I especially enjoyed the details of the curriculum at Castleton and rules for dissection. It was alarming to learn how many students died of infection after cutting themselves during a dissection. This book has excellent descriptions of medical and pharmaceutical practitioners during that period. The medical treatments and the descriptions of compounding medications was especially interesting. It even has the theories and practices of bleeding, leeches and much more.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. I appreciate the opportunity and thank the author and publisher for allowing me to read, enjoy and review this book. 5 Stars… (meer)
