About this Item

196 pages, illustrated with photos and sketches. Although this has a 1902 copyright date, the numerous testimonials range from 1894 to 1910. There is much on diet, food preparation and herbal remedies, as well as a number of pages of food recipes, as well as promises of successful treatment of malaria, consumption, asthma, , cancer, etc. This was originally issued in thick wraps and has been professionally rebound with the original wraps included. This copy has a printer's error, apparently made by the original publisher and prior to rebinding, in that its pages are numbered 1-196 and then pages 165-196 are replicated. There should be 227 pages but the last 15-16 leaves were omitted and pages 165-196 substituted. (Actually, there are many more pages as the numbering system includes many pages such as 82a, 82b, 82c, 82d, etc.). The cloth binding is in fine condition, the contents are generally very good though with minor stains on title page, the frontis page and the original front cover. Rated fair due to printer's errors. Scarce.
