SUMMARY
Academic history (University Press of Kansas) that situates Brinkley alongside two contemporaries, Norman Baker and Harry Hoxsey, as commercial medical promoters of the interwar United States. Cited here as a scholarly secondary reference for the regulatory and cultural context of Brinkley's practice and its disconfirmation. ISBN confirmed via Open Library.
NOTES

Juhnke’s monograph places Brinkley within a cohort of interwar American medical entrepreneurs and analyzes the regulatory and media response that ended their practices. It supports this case’s framing of Brinkley as one instance of a recurring commercial pattern rather than an isolated figure.
