The practice has origins in Ancient Egypt and Ancient China, and was also championed by Hippocrates, who is considered to be the father of medicine. Some of the lectures included in this volume are "An Historical View of the Modern Systems of Medicine", "Improved Theory of Medicine", "Hepatitis, and Phthisis Pulmanalis; Or Diseases of the Liver and Lung", and many more. The study of medical botany, and therefore plant biology, also includes physiology, pathology, and the metabolism of plants. The issues with the binding could provide an excellent opportunity for restoration. FORN-ABE-MSB-Shelf-592-jr142
