Descriere

A fascinating insight into popular treatments of the eighteenth century, an edited selection of advice from the Scottish physician's self help manual, }Domestic Medicine{. first published in 1769. Whilst the use of mercury, eels and powdered flies are best avoided, the book is also full of sensible advice for healthy living and the avoidance of disease which are still highly relevant today.
