A Welsh Folk Museum Answer Book containing information by Mary Jones , Hendre, Meirionydd, on traditional medicine for the treatment of people between 1900-1920. Answer Books were sent out by the Welsh Folk Museum to individuals across Wales as a way of collecting and documenting information on aspects of folk culture in their areas, including agriculture, crafts, food, customs and dialects. The responses were hand-written in the books. The Answer Books had a similar purpose to the earlier questionnaires sent out in 1937.
