Musings on what's old is new

One of my favorite relaxation activities is wandering antique shops with my mom.  We love looking for those unique finds that really spark our interest, even though we struggle to rationalize how items from the 1980s are antique at some places.  In one of our adventures, we came across a couple of tomes from Home Health Society and the Home Encyclopedia of Health published in 1915 and 1908 respectively.  As a nurse and with my family history of medical service that dates back to the early 1900’s, I immediately had to have these as I wanted to dive into how healthy living was portrayed in the early 20th Century.
