A  New  and  Valuable  Subscription  Work. 
AMERICAN  MEDICINAL  PLANTS. 
It  is  intended  to  publish  this  work  in  thirty  parts,  at  $i.oo  per  part,  each  to  contain  six 
colored  plates  with  text  description  of  the  plants,  the  history,  synonyms,  directions  for  utilizing 
in  Pharmacy,  and  Physiological  action. 
Special  attention  will  be  paid  to  the  chemical  constituents,  and  the  learned  author  intends 
undertaking  the  analysis  of  a  number  of  plants  hitherto  neglected,  thus  adding  considerably  to 
the  value  of  the  work. 
The  illustrations  are  beyond  doubt  the  best  that  have  yet  appeared  in  respect  to  mathemati- 
cally accurate  urawing  and  faithful  coloring.  This  has  been  conceded  by  Botanical  authorities 
to  whom  the  advance  sheets  were  submitted. 
The  author  has  personally  drawn  and  painted  each  plant /«  5/Vm,  and  his  work  is  reproduced 
faithfully  by  a  lithographic  establishment  of  high  repute. 
On  comparing  this  with  similar  productions,  it  will  be  seen  to  be  far  the  cheapest  of  its 
kind  yet  attempted.  Not  only  will  the  druggist  become  intimately  acquainted  with  1 80  of  the 
most  important  indigenous  plants  in  the  Materia  Medica,  but  he  will  acquire  a  lasting  ornament, 
a  true  work  of  art. 
Part  I  is  now  ready  and  will  be  sent  for  inspection  to  any  intending  subscriber  on  applica- 
tion. Address
