A dictionary of homely plants and everyday vegetables with their medicinal values. Herbs for health and beauty and cures for rheumatism, bronchitis, asthma, lumbago, coughs and colds, etc.
It's hard to rate this book. I love it but not because it's a great book full of useful treatments. I came across it when clearing out my Grandma's garage after she passed away. It was battered and worn and missing its cover but readable. I found it fascinating reading over the old remedies, some of which seem rather daft nowadays! I can't say I recommend trying any of the suggestions in the book but it's definitely worth a read if social and medical history are of interest.
