Alarmed successively by every fashionable medical terror of the day, she dosed her children with every specific which was publicly advertised or privately recommended…The consequence was, that the dangers, which had at first been imaginary, became real: these little victims of domestic medicine never had a day's health: they looked, and were, more dead than alive.

Maria Edgeworth

— Patronage (1814), ch. 20; Tales and Novels, vol. 14, p. 245.

paul goodman

— pp. 36-37 (Growing Up Absurd (1956))
