Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lessons on Tuberculosis and Consumption for the Household, Showing How to Prevent Tuberculosis, How to Recognize Its First Symptoms, How to Win Back Health
Both those who are in doubt as to the nature of their illness, and those who are seeking to rid themselves of its bonds, are strongly urged to put their case into the hands of a physician who has had a large experience in handling like problems. In Lesson VI will be ex plained why it is so important that great care be used in selecting one's personal physician, and will be pointed out how to make reasonably sure that one has chosen rightly.
Only when it is altogether impossible to secure the advice of a physician skilled in dealing with tuberculosis and in whom you place trust and confidence and with whom you will cooperate, should you attempt to manage your own case. However, if this course is forced upon you, a careful reading of the appropriate lesson, followed by a little thoughtful re?ection, will very likely enable you to accept or reject the diagnosis of tuberculosis with sufficient accuracy to form a basis for future action. Should you conclude that you have tuberculosis, then by carefully and conscientiously fitting the rules for recovery to your own needs you may look forward with much confidence toward ultimately winning the coveted prize.
It is my earnest desire to make this book as helpful as possible, and criticism will be appreciated. I would like for the reader to feel perfectly free to express his opinion without restraint, and all suggestions for im proving the lessons will be received with thanks.
