proto avant altro THE BATTLE For MODeRN 1923

growhousegrow:

‘For anyone interested in old books and medicine, the Wellcome Library in London has (excitingly) digitized a huge chunk of their extensive library of antique domestic ‘recipe’ books and manuscripts. Spanning three hundred years (their collection begins in the 1500s), the 270+ books are an amazing window into old medicine and household lore.  Above are images from two randomly selected manuscripts, both from the mid-1600s.  Look closely, and you might get some pointers on how to prevent bed wetting, or help should you suffer from a ‘pinne or a webbe in the eye.’

‘To jump straight to a list of all the available manuscripts, go here.’
