"Here, with lavish illustrations and in loving detail, is the story of American Folk Medicine from the end of the Civil War until 1906, when Congress, by passing the Pure Food and Drug Act, put an end forever to some of the nation's more bizarre nostrums. It was a time of Indian Snake Root Oil and Electric Belts, of tonics and phosphates, of pills, powders, and elixirs, of herb teas and aphrodisiacs.It was a wild, robust, free-wheeling epoch, when much that was put forward could only be described as far-fetched.In addition to the home remedies there were the countless thousands of patent medicines.
