Synopsis: Now, as in times past, doctors spend a good deal of time dealing with imaginary ailments, fashion victims, spoilt children, and those for whom modern medicine is scarcely to be trusted. The doctors in turn present heart-stopping bills and, as Richard Gordon relates, generally decide they are considerably more unwell than their patients. Such are the topics portrayed with irresistible humour in this collection of cartoons and anecdotes from the early days of Punch, circa 1840-1940 - a wry look at the less serious side of the medical profession. Can be thoroughly recommended as a wholesome tonic.
