- W766707928 abstract "Orthodox medicine in england in the late eighteenth century is characterized by its diversity and complexity. Traditionally the medical profession was organized into a three-tier hierarchy- the physicians, apothecaries, and surgeons. With the development of new structures of medical teaching, this clear-cut distinction gradually gives way to a more profitable cooperation between the various groups of practitioners. While enlightened physicians play a leading part in the philanthropic movement, the attitude of the medical institution remains conservative and monopolistic in nature. Medical practice at the time is also characterized by the lack of significant advances in therapeutics. Therefore the distinction is often blurred -especially in the eyes of laymen- between the medical treatments provided by regular physicians and the nostrums and alleged- ly secret remedies sold by quack-doctors. In order to promote the sales of their patent medicines, the most skillful among these fringe practitioners take advantage of the development of newspapers to advertise their products massively. They also use the complex distribution networks involving printers and book- sellers in london as well as in the provinces. Other quack-doctors get their wonder cures publicized by exploiting the public taste for scientific discoveries and for the pleasures of social life. It is equally difficult to distinguish between quacks and empirics, at a time when the greater part of the population resorts in most cases to medical self-help or seeks the advice of the enlightened charitable elite. Physicians, quacks and empirics alike are aware of this aspect of medical practice. Hence the publication of various medical guides meant to instruct lay practitioners, to rationalize medical self-help or to promote specific remedies. These books offer a comprehensive picture of daily medical practice in the late eighteenth century." @default.
