The Domestic Physician and Family Assistant
During the nineteenth century, not every ailment merited a trip to the doctor. And even if you did visit the doctor or have the doctor come to your house, the progress of medicine still included many ineffective and sometimes even harmful treatments. As an alternative, self-treatment using herbal or other ingredients available in the stores was possible, using medical lore passed down from your mother or other relative. Books like this one also were references for medical advice. Some of the cures will be familiar while others may be something new to the reader. There is no evaluation of the efficacy of the different treatments. By the way, one listing of prices we consulted indicated that an office visit to a doctor was $1.25 and a house call was $2.00. AS MENTIONED EARLIER, THE TREATMENTS IN THIS BOOK ARE FOR HISTORIC CONTEXT ONLY AND MUST NOT BE USED FOR ACTUAL TREATMENT OF AILMENTS. $12.95 Paperbound
If you want to look at the previous book in the list,.
