The Great American Fraud: Articles On The Nostrum Evil And Quacks (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163230824)

The Great American Fraud: Articles On The Nostrum Evil And Quacks is a book written by Samuel Hopkins Adams. It is a collection of articles that were originally published in Collier's Weekly between 1905 and 1906. The book exposes the fraudulent practices of the patent medicine industry in the United States during the early 20th century. Adams investigates the claims made by various manufacturers of medicines and exposes the dangerous and often deadly ingredients that were used in their products. He also examines the role of the media and the government in perpetuating the fraud. The book is a scathing indictment of the patent medicine industry and a call to action for consumers to demand greater regulation and transparency in the production and sale of medicines. The Great American Fraud is a classic work of investigative journalism and a landmark in the history of public health and consumer protection.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
