An 1837 cookbook, which contained many remedy recipes, advised against calling a doctor except for smallpox, "inflammation of the bowels," nosebleed and "gravel" (kidney stone). The recipe for kidney stone: juice of horse-radish made into thin syrup, mixed with sugar; a spoonful every four hours.1 Other remedies and their recipes included
