The Family Companion and Physician: Of Reformed Botanical Principles (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781087367408)

Dr. Wilsons' Family Physician is a great example of the literature which marked the middle of the 19th century with regards to folk medicine and similar traditions. Directly offshoot to the grimoires of the 18th century, works such as this form a missing link between the rituals and incantations of the prior era, and the scientific concoctions of the latter day recipe books which began to be popularized around the end of the 1800s.It contains a large number of herbal preparations, and a lecture on health which includes more moral stringency than apothecarian rigor.
