radiant health
here is one of my favourite books: radiant health.
it contains some real gems and some great photos.
here we are informed thus regarding the drinking of tea:
"Beatification of the ever-popular "cup that cheers" is really not warranted at all. The ultimate effect is injurious rather than reviving"
it also includes some miracle cures for common ailments, like colic and food poisoning. i can hire out some old pieces of hose pipe for those wishing to try these cures.
or how about this for hiccups - a few things to try in the office next time someone hiccups. i had to look up the word emetic. it was worth it.
