3. Culinary herbs; their cultivation, harvesting,curing and uses (1912) 168 pages

By M. G. KAINS

Maybe it is mainly due to these yearnings and to the memories of mother's and grandmother's famous dishes that so many inquiries concerning the propagation,cultivation,  curing and uses of culinary herbsare asked of authorities on gardening and cookery;
and maybe it is because no one has really loved theherbs enough to publish a book on the subject. That
herbs are easy to grow I can abundantly attest, forI have grown them all. I can also bear ample witness
to the fact that they reduce the cost of highliving, if by that phrase is meant pleasing the palate
without offending the purse.

6. A Brief treatise on various ailments and their treatment by nature's remedies (1895)  68 pages

THE RIGHT HON. W. E. GLADSTONE AND BOTANY.

" The origin of the medical profession was traceable to two sources—the first was the observation of nature which
produced the herbahst. . . . He was not aware whether botany now formed a recognized branch of medical education.
He could not help wislhing it did, because not only was it in itself a most beautiful and interesting
study, exercising the mind without fatiguing it, and stimulating the imagination without leading it astray,
but it led to a careful observation of nature, and to a habit of noticing the quaUties of plants which were so
remarkable and so powerful in their heaUng capacity.
