This week’s book giveaway is for the inspirational dual time romantic suspense book The Premonition at Withers Farm by Jaime Jo Wright.
What is this book about?
In 1910 Michigan, Perliett Van Hilton is a self-proclaimed rural healer, leaving the local doctor convinced she practices quackery. It doesn’t help that her mother is a spiritualist who regularly offers her services to connect the living with their dearly departed. But when Perliett is targeted by a superstitious killer, she must rely on both the local doctor and an intriguing newcomer for assistance.
In the present day, Molly Wasziak’s life has not gone the way she dreamed. Facing depression after several miscarriages, Molly is adapting to her husband’s purchase of a peculiar old farm. A search for a family tree pulls Molly deep into a century-old murder case and a web of deception, all made more mysterious by the disturbing shadows and sounds inside the farmhouse.
Perliett fights for her life, and Molly seeks renewed purpose for hers as she uncovers the records of the dead. Will their voices be heard, or will time forever silence their truths?

What a great question. I had to really think about this one. Several came to mind. One is when I was little I fell on the concrete walkway and busted my lip. My grandmother told me to drink pineapple juice and the swelling would go down. I don’t think it worked but it sure tasted good. The other one I remember is micrucone. It stung like crazy but my grandmother used it all the time for cuts.

Ahh, micuracome. I remember my mom using that too. Thanks for commenting, Deana. 🙂

Honey for a cough, ginger for nausea, and apple cider vinegar for leg cramps are a few old time remedies that were passed down to me and that I still use.
Loraine
Thanks for sharing, Kay. 🙂

I use these essential oils to bring a fever down: lavender, peppermint, and lemon.

Thanks for sharing, Natalya. 🙂

Vicks on feet for coughing at night
Baking soda in a tub of lukewarm water for lowering a fever
Gargling with salt water for a sore throat or Apple Cider Vinegar which works for a ton of stuff
Loraine
I still gargle with warm salt water when I have a sore throat. My dad taught me that when I was little. Thanks for sharing with us, Linda. 🙂

Vicks on your chest for congestion. It seemed to help a little, but maybe just cleared out your sinuses from the smell. LOL I remember Mercurochrome, too. I think it’s now banned because of the mercury in it, and it’s not as effective as some other antibacterials.
I think some of the old-time remedies are effective, but a lot have been replaced by newer, more expensive, and possibly more effective products. Some of the older remedies are safer than the new ones and vice versa.
My dad was a coach in the 1950s and 60s, and he was a pro at using butterfly bandages for cuts. All the neighbors would bring their kids over for him to bandage their cuts. It was very effective for avoiding stitches and a lot less traumatic for the kids.

In some of my books from the 1800s they used willow bark to brew into a tea for pain.
I got Vicks rubbed on my chest more times than I could count when I was a child.

Thanks for sharing, Gail. 🙂

Making an onion syrup when my kids was younger! Happy Thanksgiving!
Loraine
Ooo, I’ve not heard of that. How interesting. Thanks for commenting, Sarah. 🙂

A hot toddy to cure a cold. It really did work.
Loraine
Yep, those always helped me when my dad would give it to me. Thanks for sharing, Dianne. 🙂
Shelia Hall
micuracome for all kind of cuts/scrapes and Honey with lemon/peppermint or whiskey for cough/sour throat
Loraine
Thanks for commenting, Shelia. 🙂

Oh man. The Vicks was everywhere when we were sick! Feet and chest, lol. We didn’t drink, but my mom had hot toddys when she was sick when she was younger. Nowadays, it’s just herbal tea with honey, which I still just don’t enjoy.
Loraine
Thanks for sharing, Karen. 🙂
