Sideshow huckster and historian of fraud, hoaxes and Memento Mori, the distinguished Andrei Pischalnikoff, AKA Doctor R. Snick, is a man with a mission -- and the mission is not squeezing snakes for oil. Well, not just that anyway. He's here to say what's what about the curious and disturbing things questionable “Doctors” or “Quacks” peddled to the public over a hundred years ago. Prepare for some Ewww moments.
This presentation will shed light on medicine shows, patent medicines and often uncomfortably moist devices that were useless and sometimes quite dangerous. For spoilers about Doctor R. Snick and his presentations, visit majorblaze.com.
This is our first meeting of 2024, and it promises to be an exciting one!
