<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello All!</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Passing along a message from Dr. James
Duke, whom I consider the Father of Modern Medicinal Botany (to distinguish
him from Dr. Richard Evans Schultes, the Father of Modern Ethnobotany).
What I like about Dr. Duke is the way he incorporates herbs into
his everyday life and packages it in a way that makes it interesting and
useful for others. Here below, you can see that he's at it again!</font>
