Trade Review
In this fine biography, Ward recounts the life and times of Simon Baruch, a nineteenthcentury physician best known today for his advocacy of public baths. A PrussianPolish Jewish teenage immigrant who came to the United States in 1855, Baruch became a prominent and controversial figure in American medicine…. Ward has skillfully blended primary and secondary sources to produce a vivid account of Civil War and South Carolina Reconstruction medicine, and of Baruch's many crusades to improve medical practice and to alleviate the suffering of the urban poor."" Bulletin of the History of Medicine

“As Patricia Spain Ward shows in her new biography of Dr Simon Baruch, it is possible to use such an exceptional figure to illustrate an individual life and how American medicine was taught, practised, and advanced from the mid nineteenth century to the early twentieth century…. Simon Baruch, Rebel in the Ranks of Medicine, 18401921 is a fine biography that documents both a unique medical life and the context in which it occurred."" Medical History
