"Folk Medicine of the Mammoth Cave Area" edited by Lynwood Montel
Very interesting for me, as people used to come to my grandmother from all over for various cures/treatments/salves/poultices. And such. I can remember, as a young child, my grandmother calling all over creation asking if the people she was talking to knew where there might be a patch of this weed, or plant, so she could get the roots, or what have you, to make something for someone who was traveling a fair distance to get it, and she wanted to be sure and have it ready, because these kinds of people really relied on some of this stuff. Hardly ever accepted any money.
