Dubious Cures and Frauds

New Zealand had a remarkable number of quacks and fraudsters active in the early 20th Century.They travelled the length and breadth of the country promoting their curative gadgets.
The Cotter Collection includes many of these devices and even a completed phrenology chart. A medicine chest contains pills and potions thought to provide cures for many common complaints.
The outright quacks, who invariably came via Australia, once exposed in New Zealand, returned to cause further mayhem there.
