It begins at the time when the doctor?s patient, Florence Ricardo, fell under his spell. Florence later married Charles Bravo, who died ? poisoned ? on April 18th. 1876. The source of the poison was soon traced to a purchase of antimony by Dr. ully?s coachman, and at once scandals about his employer were laid bare. They were numerous and damning.* A NEAR VG++ text copy of the 1st/1st with some age and wear to boards & dust jacket.*
