A Simple Beauty

This little book stack I found at a recent rummage sales and I snatched them up the second I saw them! They are perfect gems.

One of them must be a home remedy book. Here is one of the recipes:

Ointment for The Foot Rot

Lard, 1 pound; turpentine, 1 pound; tallow, 1 pound; sulphate of copper (powder), 1 pound; rape oil (?), 1 pound; black resin, 1 pound. Melt, and well mix.

I wrote this exactly how it is written in this book (except the ? mark). What a hoot!

Next is the photo of the books after I added some ribbon.



What do you think, right at home amongst the other vintage items?

Thank you for stopping by.
Kindredly, Lynne Laura
