The Medicine of the People

A History of Popular Medicine Before the National Health Service

Allan Chapman
Growing up in 1950s Lancashire, Allan Chapman heard tales of popular remedies, of good and bad blood, from elderly people. Only later did he realize that these were rooted in ancient medical theories, the ‘humours’ of Hippocrates and Aristotle. Drawing on extensive research, he traces their survival into the modern era through broadsheets, songs, sermons and Victorian quack advertising.
