THIS IS A FABULOUS OLD BOOK, IT IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR ITS AGE, AT LEAST COMPARED TO MOST THE OTHER OLD BOOKS I HAVE FOUND, IT HAS GREAT COLOR PICTURES OF THE PLANTS USED TO CURE OR HELP THE ILLNESSES LISTED, IT HAS FOLD OUT OR POP OUT PICTURES OF THE MUSCLES AND INTERNAL ORGANS AND THE BRAIN, AND HEAD, THE DATES ON THE FOLD OUTS ARE 1884,1885 SO I AM GUESSING THE AGE OF THE BOOK TO BE AROUND THEN, THE PAGE WITH THE DATE IS MISSING, AS SHOWN, OTHERWISE ALL APPEARS TO BE HERE, IT HAS NEAT DESCRIPTIONS, AS ONE SAYS FALLING SICKNESS (EPILEPSY) AND OTHERS THAT ARE VERY AMUSING, THE COVER IS SURPRISINGLY BRIGHT, THE BACK IS STAINED AND FADED AS SHOWN BUT STILL PRETTY STURDY, I BELIEVE THIS WAS A PHYSICIANS GUIDE, AND IT IS NEAT!!IT IS HUGE ABOUT 4 INCHES THICK, AND ITS ABOUT 9 1/2" HIGH, I BELIEVE IT WAS AT ONE TIME OWNED BY A SMOKER AS I REMOVED A TON OF NICOTINE FROM THE COVER, THE BINDING IS A LITTLE WORN BUT ALL IN ALL VERY NEAT ADDITION TO ANY COLLECTION OR A AMUSING READ AT THE LEAST!! NO RESERVE.
