Drake’s writing is still very readable, there are a few Latin phrases I had to google, not all medical terms, but overall the language very familiar. The book is available online at the National Institute of Health’s National Library of Medicine. Drake’s discussion of the Cholera treatments other physicians have written about demonstrates that he was very well read on the subject. The book is a good resource for people researching Cincinnati and medical history and it also may have utility for someone looking into trade patterns, race relations on the Borderlands, and government involvement in health care.
