For anyone interested in the history of law, taxation or medicine, this title examines the unexpected consequences that arose from the introduction of the medicine stamp duty (1783–1941). It reveals the profound effects on the relationship between law and government, the professionalisation of pharmacy and the perceived integrity of 'quack' medicines.
