Medical Common Sense

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I added an interesting link on the MUDDYRIVERBATTALIONMEDICAL yahoo site to a period Google book entitled Medical Common Sense as applied to Common Cures and Diseases. It has an 1864 printing date.

I would recommend it to any reenactor to have on file on the computer. It was an easy pdf download. The info contained in it will add to any first person impression of the period.

The book even details cures and remedies for marital problems in its 454 pages. You'll find it a fun read as you brouse thru the index and pages so don't let the length of the book scare you.

Look in the LINKS section on the MUDDYRIVERBATTALION MEDICAL site but here is the url for it
