"Geoffery Gambado" by Richard Cobbold is a humorous work written in the early 19th century. This narrative revolves around Dr. Geoffery Gambado, a physician whose unconventional approach to treating hypochondriacism and melancholic humours primarily involves horseback riding. The book showcases his journey as he discovers the benefits of this remedy, along with humorous anecdotes and a cast of quirky characters who seek his help. The opening of the book presents an overview of Dr. Gambado's life and his practice, which stands in contrast to traditional medical approaches of the time. It details how he became a proponent of equestrian therapy after overcoming his own bouts of melancholy with the advice of a horse-dealer, John Tattsall. The introduction portrays Gambado as a likable character who prefers practical solutions over medications, aiming to cure not just himself but also his patients through riding. As he gains popularity for his unique methods, the text hints at the satirical exploration of societal attitudes towards mental health in that era. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
