Date Started 6/2/2017      WIP!
'''In this Pharmacopoeia, you have an entire world of gastronomical delights and apothecaric potions that you may use for sustaining life. I will begin with the growing, harvesting and preservation of plants and trees that you could grow in a garden to eat and drink. I will add sections on medicinal potions and tonics. I will tell you how to survive in the wild with no supplies on hand. There will be recipes at the end that you may use and even enjoy. So let us begin. '''
