Description

Excerpt from The Family Physician, or Every Man His Own Doctor: In Three Parts; Part I. Contains the Theory and Practice of Physic, Part II. Diseases of Women and Children, and the Botanic Practice, Part III. Dispensatory, Anatomy, and the Practice of Surgery I have always been surprised to see people look with so much confidence to the physician, in cases of imminent danger, and place so' much stress upon the necessity of his presence, when all that he was doing or could do, was to give an emetic perhaps, or a dose of calomel. This volume contains a full exposition of medical treatment, and of medical mysteries; and at the same time assures the reader that there is nothing incomprehensible about it, and that the practice of medicine is not of half the consequence that it is generally imagined to be.'
