Summary: an old but good book
Comment: I have an old copy of this book from the 70s.It was published in 1958 and is somewhat dated in some respects;but much of the advice is still usable today.I personally take vinegar and honey daily.I use only raw apple cider vinegar with the "mother" of vinegar,and unfiltered.You can get it at a natural foods supermarket.I also use dark raw unfiltered honey,these are the most nutritious and effective even though they are not specified in this old book.I havent been ill for 12 years,no colds or flu or digestive upsets.Did you know that apple cider vinegar will prevent food poisoning and travelers diarrhea? Its true! Just add a few teaspoons to a glass of bottled purified water and drink before eating a suspect meal.Get a 16 oz bottle of vinegar and take it with you!

Summary: bunkum and hooey
Comment: When I first saw this book at my local pharmacy, my inner skeptic warned me that it would be a load of horse manure. He was wrong, of course; a load of horse manure will fertilize a garden nicely, while Dr. Jarvis' book is too light to even serve as a doorstop.
A great deal of factual inaccuracy is forgivable, since the book itself was written before 1960 (however, his chapter on 'race' is not, especially from an alleged man of science...I gather that if you're not from Western Europe, you don't have anything to gain from it). The decision of Fawcett Crest to publish this as a medical guide rather than as a piece of folklore. (Notice that the prominent blurb on the cover is from the New York Daily News, a tabloid slightly more respectable than the Weekly World News).
There's some value in folk remedies...but there are more of them that simply don't work, or that don't work as well as conventional medicine. While this book contains some interesting factoids about New England folk medicine, there are enough glaring errors and faulty assumptions to make the whole thing questionable, cover to cover.

Summary: Opened My Eyes!
Comment: Once I read this book it opened my eyes to what folk medicine is really about. Just taking what you see in nature and applying it to your health is so simple,yet so perfect.
