Samuel Hopkins Adams, the muckraker who exposed the patent-medicine racket, dramatized health in a series of lively tales. His health master repairs the ailing, unmasks the corner drugstore and preaches sane living through story. A spirited period blend of fiction and public-health crusade. Let a famous reformer entertain you into good sense.
