 COUNTRY FOLK MEDICINEHow did people deal with ordinary illnesses and injuries in the days when doctors were too far away or too expensive to summon? Elisabeth Janos From the editor:
* a bandage of bruised plantain leaves to ease the itch of poison ivy * a salt pork poultice for infection * a barefoot walk through fresh cow manure to cure athlete's foot * a potato compress for a migraine * ginger tea for a fever * a paste of night crawlers and heavy cream rubbed onto the skin to mend broken bones Learn why the typical "medicine chest" contained milk, salt, sugar, molasses, onions, and potatoes, curing everything from eye, ear, nose, and throat problems to nervous conditions to infant and childhood ailments. Depicting an intimate portrait of Northeast America at the turn of the century, this distinctive, spirited treasury preserves the many homespun cures that offered relief to an earlier generation.
