Considering the cost of the book version of this work, I specifically enjoyed the cost of this format. Also, it is very handy to be able to both search and highlight various passages.
I found that is perhaps has too much speculation on the value of herbs to cure too much - but this obviously has more to do with the 1908 print date than anything else. Curiously, many of the terms for various herbs has also changed.
So, this is a huge book on the period where herbs were the best (and often the only) curative. In modern practice one must take caution is just embracing all the recommendations.

As part of our on-going learning about how to grow and use herbs in cooking, canning, and teas, we bought this book. It is an excellent cross-reference manual, augmenting or contrasting nicely our other books.

The book is mostly written about American plants although quite a few can be found and grown in other countries. A large part of the book was taken up with information on Ginseng and how to grow it, etc. It wasn't what I was expecting, as I was looking for a more all round book about herbs and medicinal plants.

Okay
It is okay, kind of not what I was expecting. Perhaps if I reread it then it will give me more of what I was looking for

Limited value since all 94 illustrations are stripped out
This book would be very interesting from a historical perspective if you wanted to learn about the gathering, cultivation, and use of plants at the turn of the 1900's. Read more

Herbs, etc
Not relevant to my needs. This is a book written at the beginning of the 1900' s - I was looking for something much more current.

Building up my library so no time to read-then-review but looks good at first glance. Sorry I can't be of more help but it will be a while before I do. The title caught my eye!
