This remarkable little book suddenly precipi- tates us into the bustle and shouting of the eighteenth century Fair. It is the doctors to whom we here listen. They are tirelessly fluent, and the great names of Hippocrates, Paracelsus and Lully are freely used to dazzle the simple crowd. There are several amusing little poems: *¢ This will recover whole Fields of Slain, And all the Dead shall rise and fight again.” “«.. and this alone may be the Occasion of the Loss of Germany !’’ And Dr. Haines possesses A rare Secret that takes away all warts, From the Face, Hands, Fingers, and Privy Parts.” These speeches should be of value to any modern historian of medicine. ‘266 [Jerrold (Douglas)] The Handbook of Whitefeather.
