Abstract:

In the early 1900s, mountain households in North Carolina were prepared for most illnesses and emergencies no matter what season. The author describes mountain living during that time and how his family made home remedies of natural herbs. To supplement herbs, farm produce was traded for medicine supplied at the country store.
