While books.google.com might have a pdf version, it's not available (at least not to me). In addition, google botches the images, so shrug. I haven't seen this online anywhere else.

This scan was sent to me by my friend Jane, who is a herbalist in the UK. Many thanks! I've OCR'd and proofread it, and put it up here. Enjoy!

Also check out Hool's other book on this site, Common Plants and their Uses in Medicine.
