In this book, John George Hohman catalogues a lengthy list of folk
and herbal remedies, created to treat all manner of illnesses in
humans and pets. In the early 19th century, John George Hohman
worked as a book printer while also selling a variety of herbal
remedies. Uniting his dual professions by releasing a book about
the many remedies he'd encountered and sold, Hohman first released
the text in his native German, with an English edition following
later. The term 'Pow-Wows' was appended to a later edition, when
public interest in Native American medicines surfaced. After its
introduction and a variety of testimonials, Pow-Wows proceeds to
list more than two-hundred distinct folk remedies. Each entry
describes the maladies appropriate for the treatment, before
describing how to prepare and administer the remedy. Powdered and
fresh plant matter, oils, tinctures, and other items constitute
these remedies, which purport to work wonders on ailments both
acute and chronic.
