"The great merit of this book is that Andrews not only has extensively researched her topic, working with a broad range of primary and secondary sources, but also reads her materials critically."- Eric I. Karchmer (Asian Medicine) [The Making of Modern Chinese Medicine, 1850–1960] present[s] a number of astute insights that promise to remain authoritative in the field for years to come … Andrews's discussion of the advent of scientific acupuncture provides a sorely needed historical explanation for its contemporary survival and popularity.- Howard Chiang (Journal of the History of Medicine)
