In 1899, Vitalogy, a home health encyclopedia, was first published. In 1930, after a half-million copies were sold, a new expanded edition was published. The original 1,010-page comprehensive guide to health and home was cherished by millions. Filled with chapters on anatomy, diseases, herbal remedies, and moral advice for the home, it served as a complete reference book for the household. By WWII its use diminished, more "modern" medical guides were issued and VITALOGY faded into obscurity. Seventy years later, its advice is both strangely prescient and very dated, and the health manual is once more at the cutting edge! |
