  <mods:abstract>First published in 1822, Thomson's New guide to health (later known as The Thomsonian materia medica) was the cornerstone of the Thomsonian botanical medical movement and went through thirteen editions by 1841. Many editions were prefaced, as here, by Samuel Thomson's lengthy biographical narrative. The passage displayed concerns Thomson's 1809 trial for murder and acquittal following the administration of lobelia. Excerpt from the biographical preface of Samuel Thomson's New guide to health; or botanic family physician</mods:abstract>
