| Sumario: | Doctors, religious and police have been the objects of studies to delve into the experiences that occurred in the fateful months that Buenos Aires witnessed during the yellow fever epidemic of 1871. However, the offers of products and therapeutic practices that operated from the margins of the biomedicine are still pending exploration. The objective of this article is, on the one hand, to analyze the advertisements for over-the-counter medications and condoms in the Buenos Aires press, which were supplemented with prescription indications for graduate medicine. On the other, to examine two cases of charlatanism in order to illuminate the complex health and political fabric from social actors marginalized both by the biomedicine of the moment, as by current historiography. |
