The book studies the language of Restoration London irregular medical practitioners emerging from their printed handbills. Findings consist of the pragmatic features of quacks' communication, including images, the strategic use of printing in advertising, and the detection of a previously unknown source of a well-spread anti-quack satiric broadsheet.
