Few books of this nature have appeared before the pubfic, and the author's conviction of their utility alone prompts him to this work on the sub ject of physical knowledge. He has endeavored to state the true nature and virtue of each veg etable, according to the best of his knowledge and experience. He has also been at great ex~ pense for information from those very persons who, like himself, have suffered under obstinate diseases, which baffled the skill of the most em inent physicians, and were finally relieved from their suffering by simple vegetable medicine. A great share of our happiness depends on our health. How important then must it be to all to possess themselves with a book whereby they may become their own physicians, or at least be able to remedy some of those linger ing diseases which often elude the skill of the most learned of the old school. The writer of' ibis little volume has seen the time when he svould freely have given all he possessed to find.
