Herbal simples approved for modern uses of cure
Herbal Simples Approved for Modern Uses of Cure, first published in 1895, is a dictionary of medicinal plants by the English physician William Thomas Fernie. Arranged alphabetically from Acacia to Yew, it treats some hundreds of herbs, trees, vegetables and weeds that grow or are sold in Britain, giving for each its folk names and history, the uses recorded by Dioscorides, Gerard, Culpeper and the country people, and what the chemistry of his own day had found in it, with recipes for infusions, poultices and syrups. Fernie writes as a doctor who thought the old remedies worth examining rather than dismissing, and his book is a readable bridge between the herbals of the seventeenth century and modern pharmacy. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
