Publisher Description: The Canadian Herbal is more than merely a guide to medicinal or edible plants. Concocted nearly two centuries ago, it is in essence a medical receipt book filled with herbal recipes and folk medicine to which is affixed a number of botanical species briefly described in use and form. Containing recipes against dropsy, dysentery, scalds, cuts, and consumption among many others, the work is somewhat dense and broken apart into many dozens of sections each covering a different disease or species; a good piece of herbal history from the Americas. |
