# /The English Physitian/
# Introduction by Richard Siderits, M.D.
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Nicholas Culpeper, a legendary figure in the field of herbal
# medicine and author of /The English Physitian/, transcribed
# within, was a man of mystery and glory - a revolutionary who taxed
# the heirarchal politicos, challenged the procedures and policies
# of the clergy and championed the wonderings of common folk, much
# to the chagrin of the established pedantists.
#
# Within this manuscript, the reader will find the wit, intellect,
# ethic and conviction of a man maligned by his colleagues and much
# respected by his community. Culpeper worked to bring medicinal
# treatments from the mysterious to the comprehensible. His
# philosophy was to teach the common folk to minister to themselves
# by providing them with the tools and knowledge for self health.
# His mind and ambition was to reform the whole system of medicine
# by being an innovative questioner paving the way for new thoughts
# and principles contrary to established traditions.
#
# A man of and for the common people, Culpeper wrote with a personal
# style revealing his insights as well as his struggles. Culpeper's
# writing tends to be comprehensive and exhaustive in its approach
# to reconciling astrology and medicine.
