“Physick and Folk Medicine: A History of Healthcare in Cornwall” by Rupert White

"Fogous, saints' relics, leeches, physicians, herbalists, witches, apothecaries, charmers, lazar-houses, holy wells, wise-women, crick-stones, chyrurgeons, druggists, cunning-folk, dispensaries, Mesmerists and quacks: all, over many years, contributed to healthcare in Cornwall, and all are discussed in this book. Physick and Folk Medicine, which draws from both historical and folklore records, is the first comprehensive history of its kind. "
