The Publishers present "Our Home Physician" with the assurance that it is the most 

 important and valuable Medical Guide ever offered to the American public. To this admirable 

 work our author has given careful study, investigation and experience, and now presents it to the 

 public as the result of a large and extended practice in New York City. From the author's preface 



" This book has been prepared to meet a want that has been long and widely felt— of a single 

 work which should give a comprehensive and accurate knowledge of Medical science of the present 

 day, in as much detail as can be useful to those not medically educated. I have left no stone un- 

 turned to make the work fully represent the best and most recent opinions and experiences of the 

 leading authorities of our day in the various departments, all of which are brought down to the 

 most recent dates. Diseases, their symptoms and treatment, and in fact nearly every department 

 of Medical science, has changed wonderfully during the past twenty years, and Medical works and 

 authors that were once considered authorities are now worse than useless, tending only to mis- 

 lead with dangerous results. ., . , , 



"This work not only includes all that has ever been attempted in similar works, but also 

 several hundred new remedies, new systems of treatment, new diseases and new subjects in the 

 department of health that have never yet appeared in any work designed for the people. There 

 are yet among the people those who have a blind faith in some school or exclusive system of 

 treatment ; to all such let me say that the wise physician of our time belongs to no " school," no 

 " ism," no " pathy," but uses for his patients all things which have proved to be beneficial. On 

 this principle this work is based. The best physicians of our day are not narrow or bigoted, as 

 some suppose, but are the most liberal and progressive of men. I have written in the work just 

 what I say every day to mv patients, in my popular essays, and in my lectures before lyceums and 

 colleges. I have here said just what your family physician would tell you if he had the time and 

 occasion to explain the different diseases, their symptoms and treatments. My aim has also been 

 to make the work so clear that the wayfaring man might not err therein, and yet so thorough and 

 exhaustive that the educated physician should find in it much to perfect his knowledge and refireeh 

 Ms memory."
