"A very common sense approach to common maladies. Especially love the suggestion that Vick's Vaporub on the soles of the feet help arrest coughing. It does work in most cases."

"This book has more useable information than any other I've seen. The remedies recommended are all impemented with ingredients you either have around the house anyway or else you can easily pick them up at the local grocery store or drug store. No eye of Newt or powdered antelope horn needed. The advice is sensible, simple and easy to follow. I love mine and plan to give some as gifts for Christmas."
