О книге

Excerpt from The American Flora, Vol. 1

In the whole catalogue of the Materia Medica, the productions of the animal and mineral kingdom bear a small proportion to those of the vegetable. Though it must be acknowledged that, for some time past, the medicinal uses of vegetable simples have been less regarded by physicians than they were formerly, which probably may be ascribed to the successive discoveries and improvements in chemistry; it would, however, be difficult to show that this preference is supported by any conclusive reasoning, drawn from a comparative superiority of chemicals over galenicals, or that the more general use of the former has actually led to a more successful practice.

The various American works on Botany have given but very limited portions of the vegetable kingdom; yet limited as they are, few medical practitioners have a distinct botanical knowledge of the individual plants of which they are composed, though generally well acquainted with their effects and medical uses.
