'SOUTHERN AFRICA, with its wealth and variety of flora, has accumulated through the centuries a great mass of popular remedies, both Native and European. It has only recently been realised how rich African lore is in this respect. Bushman, Hottentot, and Bantu have each their full share, while the White man, since his occupation of the sub-continent, has been adding to the treasury.
These remedies are in common use, but much of the folk-medicine of the South African native tribes is vanishing before the advancing tide of civilisation with its synthetic medicines.
Our aim has been to give all the available information on the medicinal uses, chemical composition, pharmacological effects, and human and veterinary toxicology of the flora of Southern Africa. It forms an amazing record.'
