Small book that is full of information. It was written in an entertaining way that made learning more fun. Loved all the facts and did a lot of cringing. Glad medicine has progressed. The title - Bleed, Blister, Puke and Purge didn't fit most of the book. There was only one small chapter that really talked about it, although it was brought up occasionally throughout the book. The 2nd part of the title - The Dirty Secrets Behind Early American Medicine fits more with the book.
