Weeds Used as Medicine

"Weeds Used in Medicine" is one of a number of early 20th century government-made circulars for farmers and businesspeople attempting to aid the process of general societal improvement in that era. Bulletin 188 regards the removal, processing, and sale of certain pestilent species considered a nuisance and often then subject to mandatory extermination under anti-weed ordinances and laws. From pokeweed to catnip and couch grass, this little work is a decent herbal and an interesting early 20th century historical piece rolled up into one largely academic guide with quite a few medicinal references.
