Headline is somewhat misleading
This book is written by a European physcian back in the early 1900's. Some of the information is interesting such as regarding the removal of tonsils and the negative consequences. And some of the chapter's topics are a bit outdated regarding personal attire and so forth. This book has a serious tone somewhat like a text book so it can be a bit monotonous. However, if you like delving into the past like I do then you will appreciate the book for the time period it was intended and you will learn some old truths that have been hidden or buried by time.
