William Withering
In 1775, the physician and botanist William Withering (1741–99) was informed of a folk cure for dropsy that had as its active ingredient the foxglove (Digitalis purpurea). Ten years later, after thorough trials on more than 150 patients, Withering published this pioneering monograph on the plant's medicinal applications.
