J. Worth Estes
"A valuable compendium of interesting information and thoughtful commentary on "average American medicine," particularly in the nineteenth century, which will appeal to specialist and non-specialist alike." AHR
"Richly detailed and scrupulously documented, the authors provide a fascinating account of all the aspects of medicine in an ordinary American town from its beginnings until this decade. I think that if I were asked to recommend one book that would give the flavor of the development of American medicine outside medical schools and research teaching hospitals, this would be it. Warmly recommended."
