Distributed Proofreaders, the volunteer project that digitizes public domain books for Project Gutenberg, has published a new analysis of Secret Remedies, an early twentieth-century book exposing fraudulent patent medicines. The blog post examines the work's account of quack medicine claims and its place in the history of medical fraud, drawing attention from readers interested in ebooks, medicine history, and consumer deception.

Why now: The volunteer ebook digitization community has just released a fresh blog post on this historical medical fraud exposé.
