Description
by M. F. K. Fisher (Author)
2013 Reprint of 1961 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. For many years Fisher collected lore about odd restoratives and remedies-medicines, nostrum, herbs, oils, powders, charms, poultices, liquors, brews and cure-alls for coughs, colds, sore throats, poisons, freckles and warts, nosebleeds, bites of insects and mad dogs, burns, rashes, rheumatism, excess weight, chills, fevers and wounds incurred in the mating season. Herein she recounts the origins, applications and apparent effectiveness of these unusual recipes in a group of essays in which wonder and wisdom, nostalgia and quiet humor are the main ingredients.
