    FATHER KNEIPP'S PLANT-ATLAS describing and picturing most accurately all Me- dicinal Plants mentioned in his Books, with addi- tion of several others frequently resorted to by (country) people. ]n order to comply with many wishes the Editor deter- mined upon publishing a minute pictorial representation together with an elucidating description of all those Medicinal Plants that are mentioned in Rev. Seb. Kneipp's Books. The Plant- Atlas, now complete, is carrying out that plan. Anyone is enabled by simply consulting the „Plant-Atlas to find out him- self whatever herb he will look for in woods or fields an thus to make up in a most pleasant way that „Family-Medicine- Chest, recommended by Kneipp. The Plant-Atlas is of the same Size as Rev. Kneipp's Books and has been published in 2 Editions, illustrated by Phototypes, either with plain or Coloured Plates. a) Edition I containing 20 uncoloured Plates, several lants on a page, the pictures in highly finished Phototypic Printing and reduced. Price 7 s. 6 d. b) Edition II containing 41 coloured Plates; one Plant on a Page. Coloured phototypies, true to Nature. Price 12 s. 6 d. The Plates are accompanied by an explanatory Descrip- tion supplied by a distinguished Botanist and dwelling on any point of importance, for instance upon the General and Special Characteristics of every Plant, its flowering time, use, occur- rence, diagnostics, mode of acting, healing power etc. Our Coloured-Phototype-Edition having met with general approval— several thousand Copies having already been sold — is already published in a Bohemian, Polish, Freuch, Spanish, Hungarian and Dutch Edition.
