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. # # DMS # ####################################################################### # # part a TITLE_PAGES # ##
