Remarks on the Uses of some of the Bazaar Medicines and Common Medical Plants of India
Edward John Waring
Okra, babul bark, sweet flag, country liquorice: the bazaars of India stocked a whole pharmacy, and Waring cataloged it for households far from any dispensary. His alphabetical guide covers each bazaar medicine and common Indian medical plant, with uses and cautions drawn from long service there. A practical handbook turned historical treasure. Colonial-era medicine seen from the market stall, not the hospital.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
