Originally published in 1935, this brilliant little book contains a
host of geniune Romany Remedies collated by Gipsy Petulengro,
Grandson of the old gypsy tinker, Petulengro, immortalised by George
Borrow in"The Romany Rye" and "Lavengro". All the remedies should be
taken with a pinch of salt (or in some cases, not at all!) but the
majority of them still make good sense today and the book is a
fascinating read. Contents Include Remedies, Ointments, Embrocations
