SOLE EDITION. Jenkins took his comments on the present state of the medical profession in this work from a journal, A selection of interesting cases in surgery, medicine and midwifery, and republished them so that the members of the various legislative bodies “may not be ignorant of the disgraceful practices, both of regular men and licensed quacks, when the important subject of medical reform is discussed” (p. ii).
