Most of the superstitions and folk beliefs in the book are outside of present-day knowledge and science. There were charms against witches and devils, who were entities to be feared. There are legends which describe superstitions about the cosmos and daily life. Others identify and describe the plants and animals used in remedies for diseases and illnesses. Many superstitions that were believed are now considered to be false. Some of the so-called cures can be attributed to psychosomatic illnesses and diseases.

"Distilling baby's first tear into the eye of a blind man to make him see"; "Plucking herbs upward for emetics and downward for purgatives"; "Stroking one's goiter with a dead man's hand to make the growth shrivel away"--these are not beliefs and customs found among primitive peoples in remote parts of the world but are examples of hundreds of items of magical medicine found in Professor Hand's remarkable collection of essays dealing with this neglected field in twentieth-century Europe and America. Fantasy and imagination still have free reign in people's lives, more than any of us will admit. In a time when science is preeminent, irrational thinking ca lay hold on the mid of man as much as in olden times. Folk medicine has expanded in recent years to include holistic medicine and other forms of alternative medicine, but little attention has been paid to magical medicine. Despite the benefits of medical science in an advance culture, the magical medicine of Europe and America has clung to an unusually rich and original body of magical lore that lies at the base of its folk medical thought. Ethnomedicine in the inner cities of America can be better understood by practitioners who know something about folk medicine and, especially, if they kno some of the basics of magical medicine. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1980.

Excerpt from Popular Home Remedies and Superstitions of the Pennsylvania Germans But somewhere in the back of my mind. Or perhaps we had better say somewhere in the back of my emo tions, I have a feeling that superstition is the mother of science. I am not at all dogmatic about this and am willing to modify it to say some superstitions are the mother of science.
