Victorian Hernia Cures
By Lochlainn Seabrook
176 pages, illustrated hardcover
According to Victorian doctors, an inguinal hernia is rarely caused by an injurious tear or violent "rupture" in the abdominal tissues. It is almost always the result of weak abdominal muscles, which in turn, are a product of a genetically inherited disease known medically as "inguinal hernia." This being the case, since there is no actual physical damage to the body, a congenital inguinal hernia sufferer does not necessarily require surgery. And in fact, because this specific type of hernia is primarily a consequence of inherited flabby stomach muscles, it is usually amenable to self-treatment; namely exercise and healthy lifestyle habits, precluding the need for the scalpel.Modern mainstream medicine is either ignorant of these facts or is aware of them and suppressing them, for 19th-Century doctors proved in authentic case after case that this simple therapeutic home remedy program worked for a majority of their patients.… Read More

The 367 poems he has carefully selected embody a wide spectrum of… Read More

Vintage Southern Cookbook By Lochlainn Seabrook 588 pages - Illustrated Hardcover - Signed by request
In his ongoing personal campaign to preserve authentic Southern history, Col. Seabrook has compiled, as his subtitle states, thousands of scrumptious old timey recipes from America's Southland. Spanning the years 1838 to 1924, the book's recipes provide detailed instructions on how to prepare a wide variety of Southern victuals - most endemic to Dixie, but many borrowed from places as diverse as New England, the West Coast, Europe, and Russia. The recipes - some forgotten, all venerable and time-tested - are conveniently divided into 28 chapters covering all of the primary food types, incorporating such popular items as beverages, breads, soups, meats, seafoods, fruits, and vegetables, as well as many others. (Those with a sweet tooth will be happy to learn that the desserts section is the largest.)
