The book explores the evolution of patent medicines in America from the 1906 Pure Food and Drugs Act to the mid-1960s, revealing that the Act did not eliminate harmful products as expected. Through vivid case studies, it highlights notorious products like Cuforhedake Brane-Fude and Marmola, and introduces colorful figures such as the Kaadt brothers, who treated diabetes with dubious remedies, and Louisiana senator Dudley J. LeBlanc, known for his extravagant medicine shows. The narrative showcases the enduring allure of questionable health claims and food fads.
