About this book
Written in 1893 for general readers rather than specialists, this history of medicine begins from the complaint that English writers had neglected the subject while German scholars such as Sprengel, Haeser, Baas and Puschmann had covered it in depth. Edward Berdoe, a licensed physician who also compiled The Browning Cyclopaedia, draws on anthropology to describe the medical ideas of early societies, and holds that priest and physician were close kin. The frontispiece shows the expelling of a disease-demon. The subtitle promises medicine in all ages and countries.
