The Evil Eye: Thanatology and Other Essays

by Roswell Park, Tarl Warwick (Editor)

This book is a collection of various essays and speeches on the topic of medicine and medical history from Roswell Park at the dawn of the 20th century. Delving into the evil eye, the Knights Hospitaller, history of surgery, and more, it touches on occult topics frequently, history constantly, and what would now be considered quack medicine occasionally.Advocating the use of cocaine as a pain killing agent and speaking at length even about military matters, "The Evil Eye" is highly useful and interesting now even as it must have been a century prior.
