Find an ingredient or medicinal material, then follow its printed page references back to the book.

How to read this index. Names and source spellings were collected from the text; references are whole-term matches in the retained transcription. They include uses, warnings, prohibitions, comparisons, and incidental mentions—not a claim that every substance is recommended or used on every cited page. Disputed identities are kept explicit, not resolved into modern species. Generic ingredients and specific preparations can overlap. OCR errors and pronoun-only continuations can cause omissions; this is not a verified exhaustive inventory. Transcription notes. Historical material, not medical advice.
