Item description from seller

182 pages. 10th printing. Straight tight copy. Unclipped dust jacket with some edge wear and light surface scuff. "A doctor's bagful of health secrets which prolong life and give vigor to young and old." Deforest Clinton (D.C.) Jarvis, was a physician who practiced in the Green Mountains of Vermont. He compiled generations of local, commonsense rural and agricultural home remedies, one of which (at least) is common today, honey and apple cider vinegar taken daily, the Jarvis Cocktail; his book is credited with initiating the market for raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar. Jarvis argument was that a person's body was like a house that needs proper maintenance, a doctor's job was to teach people how to stay healthy rather than just treat the sickness.
