| Summary | "Secret Remedies: What They Cost and What They Contain" is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the analyses of various secret remedies, detailing their purported efficacy and actual ingredients, based on investigations conducted for the British Medical Association. It highlights the deceptive marketing tactics of such remedies by juxtaposing their extravagant claims against the realities of their composition. At the start of the book, the author provides a comprehensive introduction that discusses the allure of secret remedies among the public and the often unfounded claims made by their vendors. The writing prepares readers for a systematic exploration of different remedies, starting with catarrh and cold cures, where the book dissects various preparations, revealing their inconspicuous ingredients and the minimal costs of the actual components compared to their market prices. The opening sets the stage for an analytical critique of the misinformation prevalent in the remedy market, emphasizing the book's goal of enlightening consumers about the realities behind advertised health cures.
