Followup: According to my mother, the book was from the 17th century, not the 18th or 19th. It has a long, baroque title, but the title proper was "Die Scheisse Apotheke" ("The Shit Apothecary"). What my grandfather owned was not an original edition but a facsimile, printed during the period immediately after World War One. He was the copyright lawyer for the poblisher, who issued a series of facsimmiles of 17th century books, and thus he received a copy of each book in the series. Anybody here know about "Die Scheisse Apotheke"? A google search didn't turn up anything for me. I would dearly like to see it again. cat yronwode Hoodoo in Theory and Practice -- http://www.luckymojo.com/hoodoo.html
