The Old Herb Doctor

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, which 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.
