Description

Kay's Marvellous Medicine is a hilarious and informative look at the history of the human body. In the past, doctors knew surprisingly little about how our bodies worked, leading to some bizarre and often gruesome practices.

From Ancient Egyptians to medieval doctors, Adam Kay explores the strange and often disgusting ways that people thought they could cure illnesses. You'll learn about the "great stink" of London, the practice of paying patients to pass gas, and the surprising ways that doctors used everyday objects to save lives.

This book is a fun and fascinating journey through the gross and gruesome history of the human body. With its unique blend of humour and curiosity, Kay's Marvellous Medicine is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the strange and often surprising history of medicine.
