COLONIAL KITCHEN HERBS AND REMEDIES: garden and kitchen secrets from early America. by Ferne Shelton.
As the early ships from Europe landed along the Atlantic coast, colonists brought their cherished seeds and plants because of virtues attributed to them in Old World medicine and cooking. Many plants indicated their usefulness to health by some aspect such as color, texture, or shape and some were named for their uses, such as " heal-all", "heartsease", "liverwort", etc. Dandelion wine was thought good for a blood tonic and the liver and kidneys, honeysuckle tea helped coughs, chest issues and nerves being "good for twitches". Chapters include Beverages and Wines, Herbs in Cooking, Useful Weeds, Household Ointments and Salves, Early Tobacco Mixtures, Lucky Charms. There was also Mary's Magic Foot tonic "to maketh the feet nimble and pains go away."  Recipes, sketch drawings, 24 pages.
