Long subtitle begins “To which is added a valuable appendix containing a list of medicinal herbs and their value, with chapters explaining poisons and their antidotes, how to resuscitate the drowned …” The tile page says “With numerous instructive engravings” and that the book “contains 475 valuable prescriptions”. This is a 550 page treatise on women’s health, diseases of women and children, health issues relating to pregnancy and child-bearing, and similar topics. The book is in very good condition, but with one blank page before the title page partially detached. This is a rare Victorian-era medical book intended for use at home -- you won't find other copies of this book online.
