old wives’ tales = “бабушкины сказки”. Насколько я поняла, в книге имелись виду старые поверья, народные приметы, часто касающиеся здоровья, но основанные на неподтвержденных данных. (He didn’t have the resources to do blood work, so he had to rely on knowledge, old fashioned wives tale signs, deduction and reasoning.)
