Folk-Medicine

""Folk-Medicine: A Chapter In The History Of Culture"" by William George Black is a comprehensive study of the history and development of folk medicine. The book explores the various practices and beliefs that have been used by people throughout history to treat and prevent illness, including herbal remedies, charms, and rituals. Black examines the cultural and social contexts in which these practices arose, and how they were influenced by factors such as religion, superstition, and scientific knowledge. He also discusses the role of folk medicine in shaping modern medical practices, and how it continues to be used in some parts of the world today. This book provides a fascinating insight into the rich and complex history of folk medicine, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine, anthropology, or cultural studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
