; "The Old Herb Doctor")
In the early 20th century, herbs were commonly used in the home for treating conditions that did not require a doctor’s care. Joseph Meyer devoted his life to providing herbs and information to people all across the country, earning him the title of the Old Herb Doctor.
Many readers of Meyer’s Herbalist Almanac were inspired to send letters praising his herbs and treatments, claiming miraculous cures, and sharing their own remedies. Those letters were collected to create The Old Herb Doctor.
Herbal remedies have once again risen in popularity and widespread use. The Old Herb Doctor details the way Americans used medicinal herbs in the 1920s and ’30s and is a must for those interested in herbal medicine and natural cures.
While nurturing the family business, Joseph Meyer published his book, The Herbalist, in 1918. Then in 1925 he began publishing the Herbalist Almanac, a popular annual publication. Meyer created The Old Herb Doctor from letters generated by this publication.
