Fifteen Lectures on Medical Botany

Bag om Fifteen Lectures on Medical Botany

This book is a collection of slightly eclectic medical lore dating to a very interesting period in which early scientific thought on experimental rigor and harm reduction was applied to a medical system riddled with leechcraft, mercury, and wanton surgical procedures.The suggestions promoted in this work largely deal with the Thomsonian botanical method involving certain herbal remedies but especially lobelia and capsicum (derived from hot peppers) which remain in vogue in homeopathic practice today. The extreme religious deference here given sets it aside from slightly later works which tended towards the purportedly atheistic. It is an occult work insofar as the attempt to replicate universal medicine is also concerned.
