Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Culpeper, Nicholas
Herbs, plants, and other medicines manifestly operate, either by heat, coldness, dryness, or moisture, for the world being composed of so many qualities, they and only they can be found in the world, and the mixtures of them one with another.
But that they may appear as clear as the sun when he is upon the meridian, I shall treat of them severally, and in this order
1. Of Medicines temperate.
2. Of Medicines hot.
3. Of Medicines cold.
4. Of Medicines moist.
5. Of Medicines dry.
