"[This volume] will surely prove of lasting value to anthropologists, medical sociologists, and students of folklife no less than to members of other disciplines with a special interest . . . in herbs and the how and why of their utilization."--David Allen, "Medical History"

"This book merits praise as one of the best investigations of an herbalist and his context in the literature of folk medicine and as a powerful synthesis of important historical, social, and psychological factors in general folk medicine."--"Newsletter of the North Carolina Folk Society "

"An important contribution to the sociology of medical thinking."--Vivian Nutton, T"imes Literary Supplement
"
""Trying to Give Ease" places Bass's practice in a cultural and historical context, with extensive essays on the polemics of herbal medicine in modern society and its influences."--"Foster's Botanical and Herb Reviews
