Excerpt from Our Medicine Men A part of these essays has appeared in "The Century Magazine," and their publication has aroused the profound displeasure of many serious and possibly important persons. The pieces have been variously denounced as destructive, ignorant, rotten, wrong-headed, and detrimental to progress. This writer deplores these criticisms, for, while it is true that he had no intention to moralize or to improve the world, he did attempt to recount in a fair and restrained manner the reactions which twelve years of contact with medicine men have called forth in him. He has made an earnest effort to be restrained, but, try as he would, it was impossible to avoid introducing a faintly ribald flavor into his writings. He hastens to assure his readers that this has crept in not because medicine is in essence wholly ribald or ridiculous. On the other hand, he believes that of the five great professions it stands next to that of engineering in its contributions to progress. The ribaldry has appeared by reason of a slight, but incurable, clownishness and impishness of his own mind.

From Hearst's International and, fortunately for posterity, the gist of Paul H. De Kruif's monumental work has been preserved in book form, Our Medicine Men which is a series of brilliant essays, and his name will be venerated by future generations. We can only comment briefly upon the scholarly works of De Kruif. How it was possible for one man in a single lifetime to marshal the vast amount of material he presents is beyond comprehension. He takes up the study of medical practice from antiquity until the present day. His only desire is "to inquire into the causes for its present extraordinary magnificence and prosperity, and to discover, if possible, whether these are due to a commensurate increase in the value of its service." He shows that feeble attacks have been made against medicine by Butler, Moliere, Da Vinci, and Shaw; but these failed. But he will succeed. Paracelsus, Galen, and a host of other fathers of medicine are portrayed in all their ignominy. The rank and file of medical men today are no better than those who followed Galen; therefore quackery and fakery abound. (Any student of logic will be able to explain this to the ordinary, illiterate physician.) De Kruif has gone through all there is in medicine with judicious wisdom, separating the good from the bad and throwing most of it into limbo. Little is left. Vaccines, group medicine, psychoanalysis, specialists, medical colleges, these and many others are dissected without mercy, and we are shown with startling clarity that it is all a sham and worthless, utterly worthless. Gone, forever gone, are the days of the good old family doctor. Here we find the only note which approaches any pity for the heartless tribe of medical men. It is high time this group of rascals were exposed, vendors of nostrums, fee splitters. cunning aids of heartless drug houses, pretending to cure while injecting vaccines and gloating over the bodies of their slain victims, not forgetting to send bills for fabulous sums to the relatives of the departed. Could a more heartbreaking picture be painted? Could anything be so monstrous?.... -International Record of Medicine and General Practice Clinics

Cochran reconsiders the nature and role of consumer culture in the spread of globalization and illuminates enduring features of the Chinese experience of consumer culture. The history of Chinese medicine men in pre-socialist China, he suggests, has relevance for the 21st century because they achieved goals that resonate with their successors today.
