Book Description
Excerpt from The Family and Ship Medicine Chest Companion: Being a Compendium of Domestic Medicine, Surgery, and Materia Medica; With Directions for the Diet Management of the Sick-Room The original design Of the Publishers was to Offer to the Public a reprint Of Savory's Compendium of Domestic Medicine. Upon examination, however, it was found to contain much that was deemed unimportant, while it was deficient in other matters which would render it useful to sea captains and owners of plantations. It was determined, therefore, to cull from it and several other works Of a like character and equal reputation, such material as would make a reliable companion to the family and sea medicine chest. With this Object they have selected the matter from the following sources, viz.: Savory's Compendium Of DO mestic Medicine; Dinneford and Earland's Medicine Di rectory; Coxe's Companion to the Sea Medicine Chest; Household Surgery, or Hints on Emergencies, by J. F. South; The Management of the Sick-room, by A. T. Thomson, M.D.; The Maternal Management of Children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Domestic Medicine: A Treatise on the Practice of Medicine, Adapted to the Reformed System, Comprising a Materia Medica, With Numerous Illustrations There has been much done to put the people in pos session of a knowledge of the means of preserving their health, - many excellent treatises have been dedicated to them, and numerous journals and medical papers have been issued for their information, and it is grati fying to see how much good there has been done how much suffering has been avoided and expense saved. Still there are some in the profession who are opposed to the plan of committing a knowledge of medicine to the people. They seem to think that it will lower the character and dignity of our profession, and that con sequently our usefulness will be measurably destroyed. But the results are far otherwise. Real and important knowledge has no such tendency - it elevates rather than lowers the confidence and respect of its possessor. It has been supposed too that mischiefs would result from an attempt on the part of the people to prescribe for themselves. But they ever have prescribed more or less for themselves, and it must be supposed that they ever will do so; and it is difficult to see how a knowl edge to do prqrerly, what will be done at all events, will give rise to mischief. Novelty is the food of fancy, and so long as any matter, the existence of which is known, remains in mystery, the human mind will never cease to pry into it. Let the mind once fully grasp a thing and its novelty is gone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
