the most readable and enjoyable homeopathic books ever written. The author has
chosen twenty-two medicinal plants and devoted a chapter to each one. While doctors
may possess the ability to write out prescriptions for sick persons, they may
not posses that other form of ability which enables them to write readable
books. It is, therefore, all the more refreshing to find both these abilities
combined in one individual. A Physician's Posy seems more in the nature of 'belles lettres' than a treatise on healing the sick. In its pages,
the reader will encounter no pseudo-scientific jargon nor multi-syllabic words
which no one can pronounce -- let alone remember. Dr. Shephard has
written a fascinating history of her chosen plants and includes personal
anecdotes that make her book a joy to read...." [Amazon]
