Copyright 1975, Plummer's book showcases natural recipes for everything that is so "chic" these days: homemade soaps, baths, colognes, incense, powders, waters, insect repellants, etc. Great as a recipe reference and for lovers of antique books. Illustrated, with a glossary. The short source list, while obviously obsolete, shows how long it has taken for us to get with the "natural living" program. Plummer's book dedication is "To our sweet-smelling EARTH - may it survive the foolishness of man." (PS-There are no hazardous ingredients mentioned in this book. Lye is used in making ALL soaps, whether homemade or purchased at the grocery store or even the health food store.)
An informative book on what has been done - good history
