YOU'LL  LOVE  THIS  BOOK!!!

First written shortly before the Civil War, this book was presented with great interest during the time when arts and sciences were being researched and discovered. Concerning medical treatment, it was a time of retrograding. Upon further investigating these matters, reform medical schools were established and Doctors were becoming more dominant.

Dr. Gunn's main intent was to provide an invaluable collection of PRACTICAL RECIPES and numerous preparations and CURES that are valuable to families with a rational treatment of Pleurisy, Inflammation of the Lungs, and other Inflammatory Diseases.

This also covers GENERAL FEMALE DEBILITY AND IRREGULARITIES. Dr. Gunn accomplishes this as all subjects are arranged in their appropriate departments in a plain and simple manner so that all may comprehend and cure themselves with equal facility.
