1864 medical remedy book
From: Michele
DearMYRTLE,
I just completed a weekend were Myrtle spoke in St. George, Utah. One of her
topics centered around ole time medicines. Question: Could you direct me a
source for an old time herbal book called "Dr. Gun's Doctor Book" ? My
great-grandmother used this like a midwife. I have searched Abe books.com and
Amazon with no hits. Thank you so much.
DearMICHELLE,
I used Google & searched for "Dr. Gunn + remedies" and found several references
to current Rodale.com publications. However, the exact title of the old-timey
book is:
GUNNS' NEW DOMESTIC PHYSICIAN OR HOME BOOK OF HEALTH, by John C. Gunn. It
was published in Cincinnati by Moore, Wilstach & Baldwin in 1864.
A subsequent search of Amazon.com for that title
turned up 3 used copies of the book, starting at $50. Good luck!
Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)
