A work that would come to define who to systematically and carefully assess the medical properties of a potential remedy.  In this case, it was the cardiac strengthening compound in the genus Digitalis, which Foxglove belongs to.

His rigorous case study documentation and the fact this medicine is still used today (albeit in a more refined form) makes this a must have for any library.

Originally known as the General Rare Book Collection, the Classics of Medicine Library collection was an effort to consolidate a set of rare texts for medical professionals who'd subscribe to receive these special editions.
