"Quacks and Grafters" by Anonymous is a critical account of the state of therapeutics written in the early 20th century. The book serves as an exposé on the numerous fraudulent practices and graft that pervade the medical profession, specifically addressing the rise of quackery and questionable methods in healing. Through this scrutiny, the author suggests a need for reform within the medical community to restore integrity and efficacy in treatment. At the start of the work, the author expresses a desire to illuminate the challenges faced in modern medicine, likening the current medical landscape to a historical muddle marked by competing and contradictory therapeutic systems. The introduction outlines a bleak view of the medical profession, emphasizing the prevalence of diploma mills and the commercial spirit that drives many practitioners towards unethical practices. The author insists that true change can only come about through public awareness and a collective push for higher standards in medical ethics, essentially urging the public to take a responsible role in enhancing the integrity of therapeutics.
