James J. Walshes Cures is a grand work of medical history, compiling many different eras of fad medicine in which different methods were employed by mankind to stop disease and treat injury. From medical simples and herbal lore, to blue light therapy, the use of calomel, and theriac, from antiquated times through the nearly then-modern early 20th century, this work collects dozens of examples of what we now generally see as quackery. These medical methods often involve more than a little superstition or spirituality.It is worth noting briefly that the author did not, nonetheless, aim the same sometimes humorous criticism at his own era- one now a century past and subjected to the same critique!
