The Old Root and Herb Doctor: The Indian Method of Healing - Paperback
Description
by Tarl Warwick (Editor), John Goodale Briante (Author)
The Old Root and Herb Doctor is a Thompsonian receipt book and guide to herbal healing from the high period of herbal simples, namely the middle of the 19th century. The cures herein are not sourced from any "Indian" tribe but are rather American and European in form- such claims were common in the era, in order to sell literature.
A lengthy series of diseases and their cures, as well as a materia medica of herbal species, are included- these are common to most such works, but this text is differentiated from many competing titles in its inclusion of a list of poisons and their antidotes, as well as a short guide to the nutritional value of various common foodstuffs.
