Today's True Weird Stuff - Revisiting King of Quacks: The Greatest Medical Fraud in American History

 

Curtis Howe Springer claimed to be a doctor. He wasn't. He also claimed to be a minister. That was questionable, too.

Selling miracle cures from his desert empire, Springer built a fortune on deception and became one of the most successful medical frauds in American history...the self-crowned King of Quacks.
