• McGinnis, J. D. (1988) “Carlill V. Carbolic Smoke Ball Company : Influenza, Quackery, and the Unilateral Contract,” Canadian Bulletin of Medical History, 5(2), pp. 121–141
• Step 1 - using the Leeds Beckett Library - find the source
• Where do you go to find the library
• How will you search for this article?
