Book Description

Excerpt from Book of Health: A Compendium of Domestic Medicine, Deduced From the Experience of the Most Eminent Modern Practitioners, Entirely Divested of Technicalities and Rendered Familiar to the General Reader; Including the Mode of Treatment for Diseases in General Popular works on medicine have found but little favour in the eyes of physicians. They have been supposed to create, in those who peruse them, an undue confidence in their own knowledge, and thus to prevent them from seeking, in time of need, medical aid as early as they ought to do. This is no doubt the tendency of most, if not all of them; but the objection applies with less force to the present work than to any that has preceded it.
