Southern Folk Medicine, 1750-1820 explores methods of antidote during a time when the South relied besides heavily on homespun remedies than on professionally prescribed treatments. Bringing to explanation several previously unpublished primary sources, Kay K. Moss inventories the healing ingredients and practices adopted by physicians, herb women, commoner farmers, plantation mistresses, merchants, tradesmen, preachers, and quacks similar.
