Rectal and Anal Surgery
with
a description of the secret methods of the itinerates
by Edmund Andrews
Circa 1887.
From the preface:
The untutored "Pile Doctors," alias the "Itinerant Rectal Specialsts," now traversing the country, have accomplished one good result. They have compelled physicians to give more attention to the neglected subject of rectal diseases.
Oh, for those halcyon days of yore, when renegade ass doctors roamed loose through the cities of our great nation!
