>Isn't there something called "Culpepper's Herbal", first compiled by Nicholas Culpepper some time in the 17th century?

I thought it was a reference to Dr. Pepper, the soft drink. When I lived in Virginia, I actually knew a physician, psychiatrist type, named F. J. Pepper. Odd duck, like most psychiatrists, and the only bit of humor about him was his insisting that his office hours were from 10 to 2 to 4!
