Available is an antique book titled The Cottage Physician, published in 1895. As "the complete handbook of medical advice for the home", it gives a fascinating look into health practices and beliefs in the late 19th century.

Its formidable size also lends well to use as a riser for decor vignettes.

Peruse all the photos of the pages, as you will catch glimpses of anatomy illustrations, homeopathic remedies, and more.
