A Cordiall Water: A Garland of Odd and Old Receipts to Assuage the Ills of Man and Beast
A charming collection of traditional remedies and folk medicines which have been prepared from Shakespeare's time to the present.

Fisher's life in California, Provence, Mexico, and Switzerland. These engaging recipes, "a perfect combination of superstition, instinct, and primitive knowledge" deal with commonplace ailments--sore throats, cures for cats, aging skin, fevers, PMS and hangovers. Ingredients of these extraordinary receipts are transformed into cures and preventatives told in the inimitable style of this master of the finely observed life.
