About This Item
Crescent Books, New York, New York, U.S.A., 1976.. Folio, hardcover, previous owner's address sticker on endpaper else fine in near fine green and black pictorial dj. illustrated 88 pages on alternative medicine. With prices of medical prescriptions so high some are looking to old country cures administered by parents and grandparents over the generations. The author has shrewdly separated fact from fable in her account along with the history of man's battle with illness. Although some cures have worked over the years many are based on little more than old wives tales. The remedies are fascinating, superstitions which are still prevalent today. Illustrated thru-out with sketches, photos, and paintings from long ago showing cures and advertisement for all kinds of things.
