This unique two-part discussion of foxglove--the herb from which
digitalis is derived--features a facsimile of William Withering's
classic "An Account of Foxglove and Some of its Medical Uses,"

century text for the modern reader. The second part of the book,
written by J.K. Aronson, co-author of the Oxford Textbook of
Clinical Pharmacology, includes an introduction to the botany and
pharmacology of foxgloves, their therapeutic uses before Withering,
a short biography of Withering, an account of 18th century medical
practices, and finally a review of the uses of digitalis in modern
medicine.
