While even the most dedicated fans of alternative medicine aren't likely to run out and sip a tea made of hog manure these days, Country Folk Medicine still offers up plenty of useful suggestions--and charm. Collected by interviews with more than 1400 senior citizens, remedies are related in story form. Who knew that skunk hunting was considered a romantic date at one time? Author Elizabeth Janus has arranged the tales by type of complaint, which, along with keeping the wide-ranging antidotes well organized, also makes it actually usable as a reference guide for specific illnesses. Some, like sipping kerosene or substituting a pork fat poultice for a needed tetanus shot, are best used for historical value only. Others--like ginger tea for a cold or a dab of clove oil to sooth a sore tooth before your next dentist visit--are still recommended by many modern herbalists. The last few pages include an index that list specific pages for particular remedies. For sheer historical delight, it's hard to beat the charm of this compilation, with a minor caveat: these are all medical stories, and quite a few begin with very unfortunate accidents around the house. --Jill Lightner.
