Description

The listing, Grandma's Drugstore Digital Treasury of 1800's Health & Beauty Home Remedies & Mixtures! has ended.

I am the author of this hardcover book, "Grandma's Drugstore" and it dawned on me that I could turn it into a .pdf so that people could have access to it via their PC's, tablets, Kindles, etc. (by the way, .pdf's are extremely easy to convert to Kindle. You simply "print" to "Send to Kindle" with the app from Amazon). This way, you can bookmark it, turn pages, etc. like any other eBook on the device.

The photos are self-explanatory:

1. Front and back cover
2. Table of Contents
3. Sample sections
4. Sample "Grandma Story."

***NOTE: The sample sections show only a few of the recipes of that section.

From years ago, I had been collecting the 'tried and true' health and beauty home remedies from the women of the mid-1800's to early 1920's. I decided to compile the top 400 into a treasury and sprinkle the pages with "Gukkie Stories": stories of my inspirational great-grandmother, Augusta Glawe (Those are in BOLD type in the Table of Contents).

As you can see, the retail copy is $24.95. However, personally, I LOVE having my own copy on my Kindle so it's always with me and I'm not carting the book around.

This book took me about 8 mos. of writing straight through: organizing all the health and beauty home remedies and I purchased the rights to all the Victorian photos used for each section and on the cover (those weren't cheap!).

Yes, they do work! My great-grandmother first became a nurse for the town doctor when she was 16. Later in life, she served as a nurse in the WAAC. Then she became a dorm mother and a "mom" to many girls in business college at the time. She was my inspiration for putting my book together. Thanks for your comment, fan, and bid! I'm sure you love so many of the 'recipes' because many have not been known prior to now.
