Before the internet, there were books like the one by Dr. A. Chase M.D. The front fly leaf declares this book to be the most valuable for its new receipts in every department of medicine, mechanics, and household economy. Inside are invaluable tips on home child birth, care of the sick and preparing food for a healthy family. The book is old: 1887. There is foxing and a few loose pages in the front. The book is complete and sold “as is.”
