Abstract:
Mahler discusses the herb business in North Carolina, a business that comparatively few people know exists. Some seventy years in the state's mountains herb gathering had reached rather extensive proportions; then it languished until recently, when an establishment was opened in Lenoir by a nationally known drug house in Virginia. Now the gathering of herbs, leaves, and bark in the mountains has become profitable again.
