Look inside a Tudor medicine chest / Brian Moses ; illustrated by Adam Hook.
Take a look inside a Tudor doctor's medicine chest. Jars overflow with powdered mice and live spiders, cures for whooping cough and shivering ague. Corked bottles hold squirming leeches, fat with the blood they have sucked from fevered patients. Among herbs and ointments lies the surgeon's saw...This book describes Tudor medicine through the tools and cures found in a doctor's medicine chest. It contains a wealth of gruesome paintings and photographs. Look inside yourself to see exactly how it felt to be visited by a Tudor doctor.
