Ben Charles Harris is also the author of Eat the Weeds and Better Health with Culinary Herbs. The following is from the inside dust jacket:

In this colorful and practical book, Mr. Harris gives life to the ingredients which for ages have been used as ointments, poultices, soothing syrups, and tisanes, based on what he has learned from his grandfather and from his experience as a registered pharmacist...If you are interested in natural healthful recipes and remedies, in organic gardening, or in learning new ways with old foods, this book will be found very helpful. I discussed this book on my blog celebrating the benefits of Vitamin C @ Months of Edible Celebrations. I should note, there are no color images in this book.
