Valuable Herbal Prescriptions Bradford Medical Institute

This work of herbal and homeopathic medicine, originally released by the Bradford Medical Institution, is one of the more elaborate pharmaceutical handbooks of its age. With some antiquated (and some not so antiquated) materia medica of sorts within its pages, it is notable for its illustrations as much as its recipes. It is also a fairly good symbol of its era- that of late pre-modern medicine and its fusion of standardization and experimentation with herbal and physical compounds often used for hundreds of years or longer before the 19th century began.
