Excerpt from The Physician's Hand-Book, and Family Guide to Health: Being an Account (Arranged in Alphabetical Order) Of All the General Diseases to Which the Human Organism Is Liable, With Directions as to the Very Best Treatment of Each; Derived From the Practice and Writings of Many of the Most Eminent Physicians
IN presenting this hand-book to the physicians, fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, masters, and servants Of America and Europe, I am in?uenced by a laudable desire to do them good, by reminding or teach ing them the best way to cure others, or, if needs be, to cure themselves.
Every physician knows that, however thorough his medical education may have been, there are times when he feels at a loss to know how to treat a certain disease, or a certain case to which he has been hastily summoned. If, therefore, he will but carry this book in his pocket or pill-bags, he can at any time refer to it, and thus learn the treatment best suited to the case, as derived from the writings and practice Of the most eminent physicians and surgeons of Europe and America.
