Volksgeneeskuns in Suid-Afrika
Share
Volksgeneeskuns in Suid-Afrika is ‘n unieke versameling boererate. Sommige, soos om spoeg aan ‘n muskietbyt te smeer vir die jeuk of die rympie “ek en die hik gaan oor die see, die hik bly daar en ek kom terug” om jou hik te verban, is vandag nog bekend.
Die Suid-Afrikaanse volksgeneeskuns is egter veel ryker. Neem byvoorbeeld die raat vir ingewandswurms (raat 8610): Vas vir 24 uur, eet dan 1k rosyne in brandewyn geweek vir 12 ure. Gebruik daarna ‘n goeie purgeermiddel. Geen dronk wurm bly vasbyt nie.
Lennon se medisyne, dulsies, Sunlight-seep, Vicks, en Friar’s Balsam is maar net ‘n handjie vol van die bestanddele wat gebruik word vir pleisters en mengsels vir enige kwaal onder die son. Ander meer bisarre bestanddele is hondebloed, slangvelle, kathare en die mis van diere. Navorsers mag egter steeds belangstel in die verskillende plante wat in die vorm van aftreksels teen siektes aangewend word.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
