. . . in-depth look at late 19th century healing . . . . . . Nature's Path is an entertaining and illuminating work that will be enjoyed by those readers interested in American naturopathy, and the social history of medicine more generally. Cayleff holds true to her purpose and has written a fine history of naturopathy that will stand the test of time.
