Unfinished book

This book was literally half empty and had basic spelling errors throughout. I was shocked that most pages consisted of only a few sentences. The 'remedies' were definitely old fashioned using things like WASHING SODA, BICARBONATE OF SODA, GLYCERINE, ESSENCE OF PEPPERMINT and COD LIVER OIL. The book's table of contents was literally a list of ailments on the left side of the page and nothing else- no page numbers no lines- nothing. Some topics were listed in multiple places in the book with different remedies. Even the page headers were unevenly placed. This is, by no means, a professionally edited book. I'm going to use all of the empty space in the book to possibly list my own remedies. This was definitely NOT worth $12.70. It's not even worth $2.70. God bless the old woman who tried to put this together (and if it was a family member- don't quit your day job). Ma'am, we would love to hear your ideas, but if a person is going to pay for a book it needs to be cohesive.
