About This Book

A comprehensive compendium surveys the principal drugs of vegetable origin encountered in Great Britain and British India, concentrating on substances kept in pharmacists’ stores and traded as drugs and spices. Each entry presents botanical origin and common synonyms, traces historical introduction and uses, and often describes formation, collection, and microscopic characters. Chemical composition is outlined with citations to primary investigations, and entries discuss production, commerce, common adulterations, and related substitutes; medicinal applications are noted only briefly. The work blends original research with extensive references, intentionally excluding practical pharmacy and detailed therapeutics while suggesting avenues for further study.
