Book Description

Excerpt from The Botanic Physician, Being a Compendium of the Practice of Medicine, Upon Botanic Principles: Containing All the Principal Branches Necessary to the Study of Medicine In this volume the Editor believes the reader will find sufficient to make him acquainted with all the essentials (in addition to a sound mind) necessary for a successful practitioner. Before and at the time of the first publication of this work, botanic practitioners were looked upon as a set of quacks, and laws were made and rigididly enforced against them; but men of standing have, one after another, come into the system, and the practice has risen to a higher eminence. Scientific works have been written which have been and are looked upon as sound and practical. It is true that the whole profession cannot see alike in these matters, yet we should not find fault with each other for Opinion's sake. For we all have the same object (the public good) in view, therefore, let us reason together that truth and justice may be established.
