Anyone bidding on this book should really check the other similar book I have just listed - it is about the same age has handwritten recipes for medical drugs and the author had dreams at night which told him the drug mixtures to use to cure ailments like a bad headache. Both of these antique medical books are amazing and I don't know how anyone could get one without also getting the other. This one IS 18th century however, which may appeal more and it is just the ideal collectible antique medical book - really interesting and what I would call good condition in that the binding appears good! Inside this book was the receipt of the former owner's dated 1980's and shows the rare book store or place he got it and how much he paid for it ($175.00 in the 1980's). I will include that old receipt to the high bidder of this book. But do go and have a look at the other one I listed too!
