"Here is one of 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]
