AMERICAN MEDICINAL PLANTS. The history, preparation, etc., o 
the American plants used as homeopathic remedies. By Chas. F. 
Millspaugh, M. D., of Binghamton, N. Y. Published by Boericke 
& Tafel, New York. 
It is a fact that only comparatively few physicians in the 
country are capable of recognizing the plants that grow within 
their daily ride. Such a work as this will be of incalculable aid 
to all such as desire to thoroughly understand the agents they 
use in their efforts to cure diseased conditions. To the city 
practitioner, who is so shut in by high walls that he only 
occasionally gains glimpses of the beauties without, the work 
will be a real treasure for its artistic merits alone. The author 
has drawn and colored each plant by his own hand, from the 
specimens as they stood in the soil. There is also a full deserip- 
tion of the plant, the parts used, the physiological effects, ete. 
The folio before us contains thirty full-page colored plates and 
one hundred pages of text. When finished the work will con- 
tain one hundred and eighty colored illustrations, with full text. 
Every homceopath will soon have the work we are sure.
