Book Synopsis Southern Folk Medicine, 1750-1820 by : Kay Moss
Book excerpt: Moss inventories the medical ingredients and practices adopted by physicians, herb women, preachers and quacks alike. She shows how families passed down cures as heirlooms, how remedies crossed cultural and ethnic boundaries, and how domestic healers compounded native herbs and plants with exotic ingredients.
