Many of our present-day personal concerns are not so different from or Great-Grandparents and the generations previous to them. "The 19th century moved fast and furious." Henry Adams wrote in 1903 --- and how did those people cope with their times? Much of what they knew we are rediscovering: the benefits of herbs; natural ways for dieting and healing; methods of living that are far less injurious and our environment.

Just with clippings you might find tucked in a Grandmother's favorite cookbook, there is much to be gained from these popular medicinal and household tips with origins in the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries. They offer enjoyable reading as well as practical help for solutions we may be seeking today.
