Over seventy real remedies from Victorian and Edwardian notebooks and apothecary ledgers, each reproduced in its original period voice and paired with warm, wry commentary, a straight verdict on whether it works, and clear warnings where the past got it dangerously wrong.

A handsome, giftable hardback for the history, humour and gift tables, and a natural Christmas title.

For entertainment and historical interest. Not a practical health guide.
