THE MEDICAL MUSE by Richard Armour

THE MEDICAL MUSE

By

Pub Date: March 1st, 1963
Publisher: McGraw-Hill

A versatile versifier deals with doctors, patients, conditions, and complaints in nonsense nostrums which range from the tongue depressor to baldness, ""Cold Comfort"", the ""Rash Remark"", and even myasthenia gravis- that rarest of afflictions with which every viewer of ""the scowl and the scalpel"" is now familiar. Who's to question the diagnosis? Armour is by now a popular panicea for all sorts and conditions and there will be line drawings by Leo Hershfield.
