The Medical Side of Benjamin Franklin

Most people know Benjamin Franklin as a founding father of the United States, but few are aware of his contributions to the field of medicine. In this groundbreaking book, William Pepper explores Franklin's lesser-known achievements in the medical field, from his experiments with electricity to his advocacy for smallpox vaccination. Drawing on historical documents and medical records, Pepper offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of this remarkable man.
