Leonard Sowerby's self-healing manual for women, TheLadies' Dispensatory, emerged in England in 1652 amidst an abundance of medical self-help books for the lay citizen. Written for both the common patient and the amateur health provider, these manuals of home remedies provided their readers with a variety of potential solutions to common ailments or disease. Sowerby's Dispensatory was written primarily for curing women's health problems, and in that regard, focuses heavily on gynecologic problems (the Dispensatory includes numerous preparations for inducing abortion), breast complaints, personal hygiene and cosmetic applications. Balaban, Erlen and Siderits have resurrected Sowerby's original manuscript and have provided both historical and medical explanation of its uses and usefulness. From a common garlic remedy to 'fortify the brain' to 'a hog's heel, burned to powder' for easing colic, The Ladies' Dispensatory is a delightfully unique look at health and hygiene in the seventeenth century. Also inlcludes nine maps.

We aim at testing knowledge acquisition and application, albeit data analysis is tested in fewer instances. The questions are presented in Calibri (body) theme font to provide the best readability. The questions` stems are short, bold, and typed in size 14 font. Each question has four options. It is hard for a test taker who doesn’t know the answer to guesstimate. We have used plausible distractors and avoided double negatives. Furthermore, we have used the finished and unfinished statement styles and avoided complex structures of questions. We have implemented the (how common is ...) and (what is the likelihood that ...) styles of questions as we believe that the reader`s intuition and clinical sense last longer, in mind, than figures do.
