Summary: The Peoples Pharmacy
Comment: The above book was supposed to be the new & revised edition. The publisher's date was sometime in the 1990's. It was a gift so I cannot remember the exact date, but it was not in any date containing the numbers 2000. The gift receipient was not impressed. When I last talked to the person to whom I gave the book, she was disappointed with what she had read so far. She said the book's hype and its contents were two different things.
