Charlatan

In 1917, John R. Brinkley arrived in the tiny town of Milford, Kansas. Here he discovered medical practice and presented the outlandish method for restoring the fading male power - using the goat glands. Thousands of customers quickly turned the “doctors” into the richest and most famous surgeon of America. His glory attracted the attention of another great charlatan Morris Fishbein, who vowed to throw the country's “most impudent and dangerous” fraudster from the business. But all his efforts, it seemed, only spurred Brinkley to the new heights - he took up broadcasting and politics, and his methods of election campaigning are still used. How did their game “Cats Mouse” ended? And was Brinkley really inventive charlatan, who crippled hundreds of patients, or experimental physician as a professor Preobrazhensky from the Bulgakov "dog heart"?

In this book, Pup Brock reveals the secrets of one of the most high -profile scams in the history of America.
