The Strange Case Of Dr Couney How A Mysterious European Showman Saved Thousands Of American Babies Dawn Raffel by Dawn Raffel instant download after payment.

The extraordinary tale of how a mysterious immigrant "doctor" became the revolutionary innovator of saving premature babies—by placing them in incubators in World's Fair side shows and on Coney Island and Atlantic City.
Was Martin Couney a showman with an interest in medicine, or a doctor with an interest in showmanship? Or even a doctor?
