Zusammenfassung:Materials and medicine is ambitious in its scope and richly detailed with a diverse range of cases, from the bazaars of India to the medicinal waters of Jamaica, that illustrate Chakrabarti's larger argument. He significantly advances our understanding of the material realities of eighteenth-century British colonial medicine
