Hello List ,
Since there was a lot of discusion about the defintions of some diseases in
our ancestors time. I thought I'd post a list ( that I transcribed and
alphabetized and kept 'her' spelling in places ) that I found in my Great
Gram's old medical bag. She was an 'self defined' Healer in the 1920's.
Hope this helps..

This book covers many families from Kentucky, Tennessee and other
