About The Book -: From primitive times the term ÒHerbal SimpleÓ has been applied to any homely curative remedy consisting of one ingredient only, and that of a vegetable nature. Many such a native medicine found favour and success with our single-minded forefathers, this being the Ò reverent simplicity of ancienter times.Ó Healing by herbs has always been popular both with the classic nations of old, and with the British islanders of more recent times. Two hundred and sixty years before the date of Hippocrates (460 B.C.) the prophet Isaiah bade King Hezekiah, when sick unto death, Ò take a lump of Figs, and lay it on the boil; and straightway the king recovered.Ó In ShakespeareÕs time there was a London street, named Bucklersbury (near the present Mansion House), noted for its number of druggists who sold Simples and sweet-smelling herbs. Various British herbalists have produced works, more or less learned and voluminous, about our native medicinal plants;Out Herbal Simples are fairly entitled at last to independent promotion from the shelves of the amateur still-room, from the rustic ventures of the village grandam, and from the shallow practices of self styled botanical doctors in the back streets of our cities.

Hardbound. Condition: As New. Reprint. From the Introduction The present manual of our native herbal simples seeks rather to justify their uses on the sound basis of accurate chemical analysis and precise elementary research. Hitherto medicinal herbs have come down to us from early times as possessing only a traditional value and as exercising merely empirical effects. Their selection has been commended solely by a shrewd discernment and by the practice of successive centuries. But to day a closer analysis in the laboratory and skilled provings by experts have resolved the several plants into their component parts and have chemically determined the medicinal nature of these parts both singly and collectively. So that the study and practice of curative British herbs may now fairly take rank as an exact science and may command the full confidence of the sick for supplying trustworthy aid and succour in their times bodily need. 652 pp.
