(interesting material too) =)
 
Here is the cover 
(Sorry I could not get it from being sideways)
 Here is the title.
"Gunn's Newest Family Physician
and
Home Book of Health"
 and info at bottom of binding.

    Wonderful find! I love old books, if for nothing less than the charm and history they possess!
