Many decades have passed since The Medical Book of Medicine by J. D. Gimlette and I.H. Burkill and Malay Village Medicine by I.H. Burkill and Mohammad Hanif were published in the Garden’s Bulletin. In connection with the preparation of my book Royal Healer; The Legacy of Nik Abdul Rahman bin Hj. Nik Dir of Kelantan, (Culture of Healing in Malaysia Series - Malay - Culture of Healing Sub-Series (Vol. I) the publisher consider it is most useful to reprint both articles as a special volume of the Culture of Healing in Malaysia Series - Malay - Culture of Healing Sub-Series (Vol. II) - in order to provide a “companion” to Vol. I as both volumes could serve as a comprehensives contribution to the Malay healing system with an approach from the different perspectives. With regards to the text of Vol. II, a linguistic update has been made in accordance with modern standards of Malay writing and spelling. In addition, “comment by a botanist” have been included. This appeared neccessary in view of the fact that the original manuscript of Vol. II, now 68 years old, raised a number of questions related to matters of botany that have since been settled. Nevertheless, there were still a number of botanical issues which have now been evaluated and clarified scientifically.
