Why did people rub dung into their skin? Why were children asked to chew  garlic? What are leeches used for? The treatment of childhood illnesses has changed greatly throughout history as this fascinating, and sometimes icky, book demonstrates. Dramatic photos and illustrations show how far medicine has come from the Middle Ages to modern times.
