Customer Reviews
Old time wisdom
I have a paperback copy of this 1958 book, but enjoyed reading it on the ipad better. Whoever digitized it should have included the original copyright info as it will help readers understand where Dr. Jarvis is coming from. The info certainly seems to have some basis to be considered even today, especially if you are looking for alternatives to Big Pharma.
Chapter 3 is missing in this book
This is an interesting book regarding Vermont folk medicine that originally published in 1958. I can’t believe that Apple would offer a book for sale that is incomplete and not take any form of corrective action, i.e., refund customers, have the publisher add the missing chapter and push an update to individuals that purchased the book.
Why is Chapter 3 missing
I looked for the electronic version of this book both here on Apple Books and also the K-version.
The electronic version seems to be missing Chapter 3. I intend not to purchase any version with a chapter missing. This is disappointing. I would appreciate an explanation.
