Synopsis
The Family Nurse is a great little work; a collection of various herbal and folk medicine alongside some simple (mostly health related) tips and tricks straight from the 1830s. Almost two centuries old, it is perhaps most notable how a few of the medical inclusions here are still accepted in some form today- leeches utilized for health purposes, etc. It is an early notable example of applause for deliberate exposure to cow-pox in order to prevent smallpox infection- a major contributor to human health in that era.While many of the cures and treatments here are strictly dated and should not be used, much of the lore is innocuous and herbal- the latter which comprises a fairly decent guide to the use of some common plants.
