QUNN'S DOMESTIC MEDICINE, 



OB POOR MAN'S FRIEND ; IN THE HOURS OF AFFLICTION, PAIN 



AND SICKNESS, A SAFE AND RELIABLE GUIDE. 



Raymond's copy, price three dollars. 



This Book points out in plain language, free from doctors' terms the Diseases 

 of Men, Women, and Children, and the latest and most improved means used in 

 their cure ; and is intended expressly for the benefit of families. It also contains 

 descriptions of the Medical Roots and Herbs of the United States, and how 

 they are to be used in the cure of diseases. It is arranged on a new and simple 

 plan, by which the practice of Medicine is reduced to principles of common 

 sense. 



This invaluable book has passed through many editions ; it has now been re- 

 vised and improved in every respect, and enlarged to nearly double its former 

 size ; and contains nine hundred octavo pages. 



It does not propose to dispense with physicians in severe cases. But it does 

 propose to save thousands and tens of thousands annually, by putting the means 

 of cure into every man's hands, and of saving many valuable lives (which is of 

 far more importance) by instructing individuals how to check disease in its begin- 

 nings, before it has acquired too much strength to resist and overcome. 



Opinions of the Press. 



•'We seldom take up a book of this class with any favorable impressions; 1< r 

 we fear quackery and pretension have been at work for the ' poor man ;' but in 

 ihis work all our prejudices were conquered. I'rofessionai men as well as others, 

 we see cheerfully recommend this hook ; which has, in us ample pages, much ol 

 the necessary instruction to ward off or to cure disease." — New York Express. 



" It is written in an easy, plain, and familiar style, and points out the diseases 

 of men, women, and children, and the latest and most approved means used in 

 their cure. The language and arrangement are so simplified as to bring it within 

 the capacity of those who possess a very limited education. The object and de- 

 sign of the author seems to be to remove all that technical phraseology which is 

 used in medical works generally, and thus simplify the practice of that science 

 which the head of every family should be acquainted with. It is generally recom- 

 mended to our professional readers as a guide in cases where it is not deemed 

 necessary te have the services of regularly educated practitioners. This book 

 should find a place in every family." — Boston Mail. 



" This is a work of Family Medicine on the plan of Dr. Ewell. It is the most 

 olain- written, untechnical book of the kind we have met with ; a decided improve 

 ment on both Buchan and Ewell. It is printed in a very superior style, revised 

 from the first edition, and containing a variety of useful information not hitlierta 

 laid before the vulgar eye. It treats of the passions. It has also a catalogue ol 

 medicines, with their properties and doses, and the diseases and manner in whicli 

 they are treated ; comprising a synoptical Materia Medica, exceedingly useful in 

 families, and m no particularly to captains of vessels and planters, who cannot 

 conveniently procure medical advice. It is an excellent book."— iV^eio Orleans 

 True American. 



" If we judge of the merits of the book by the immense number of copies already 

 sold, and the very flattering testimony of medical men of the first standing, (and 

 among the number, several of the most distinguished members of the faculty in 

 our city,) it is a va^uable compendium of the modern practice of physic, and must 

 prove a valuable assistant to families, particularly in sudden emergencies, and in 

 nil situations where regular professional attendance czuinot be commanded."— 

 Louisville Journal. 



'* The great advantage it possesses over all other books of the kind is, that the 

 author has avoided all Latin terms; this is what has brought Dr. Gunn's work 

 mto such extensive family use." — New Orleans Picayune. 



'« As a medical Vade Mecum, it has for years stood high ; and now, since its re- 

 vision, (Raymond's copy,) will take the lead of all similar works."— Mobile Daily 

 Advertiser. 



" Its extensive sale has established .ts worth, and stamped it as a standard and 

 useful book." — Kentucky Gazette.
