Review: Interesting book

This is a good book to add to your herbal library. It covers 11 common old fashioned remedies, some herbal, some not. All the remedies include a picture to help you recognize the plant (or the bottle), the origins, the ailments it is appropriate for, how to use it, a recipe, growing instructions, and allergy warnings. I'm not sure that I would use any of the recipes (other than Rosehip preserves) but that's my prejudices. If you are involved in any form of pioneer or 1800's museum work, this should definitely be on your bookshelf.
