 EDWARD SMITH, M. U., F. R. S., Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians 

 and Surgeons of England, etc. 



I vol., I2mo. Illustrated. 198 pp. Cloth, $i. 



It is intended to inform the mind on the subjects involved in the word Health, to show how 

 health may be retained and ill-health avoided, and to add to the pleasure and usefulness of life. 



the use of improper food, from defective drainage, 

 overcrowded rooms, ill-ventilated workshops, im- 

 pure water, and other like preventable causes. 

 Legislation and municipal regulations may do 

 something in the line of prevention, but the people 

 themselves can do a great deal more particularly 

 if properly enlightened ; and this is the purpose of 

 the book." Albany Journal. 



" The author of this manual has rendered a real 

 service to families and teachers. It is not a mere 

 treatise on health, such as would be written by a 

 medical professor for medical students. Nor is it 

 a treatise on the treatment of disease, but a plain, 

 common-sense essay on the prevention of most of 

 the ills that flesh is heir to. There is no doubt that 

 much of the sickness with which humanity is af- 

 flicted is the result of ignorance, and proceeds from

This edition has been thoroughly revised and rearranged, and the subjects classified in the ana- 

 tomical and pathological order of their development. Many of the chapters have been entirely 

 rewritten, and several new ones added, and the whole work brought up to the present time, with 

 all the new improvements that have been developed in this department of surgery. Many new 

 engravings have been added, each illustrating some special point in practice. 



SPECIMEN OF ILLUSTRATION. 



"The name of the author is a sufficient guar- 

 antee of its excellence, as no man in America or 

 elsewhere has devoted such unremitting attention 

 for the past thirty years to this department of Sur- 

 gery, or given to the profession so many new truths 

 and laws as applying to the pathology and treat- 

 ment of deformities." Western Lancet. 



' ' The name of Lewis A. Sayre is so intimately 

 connected and identified with orthopaedics in all its 

 branches, that a book relating his experience can 

 not but form an epoch in medical science, and prove 

 a blessing to the profession and humanity. Dr. 

 Sayre' s views on many points differ from those 

 entertained by other surgeons, but the great suc- 

 cesses he has obtained fully warrant him in main- 

 taining the 'courage of his opinions.' " American 

 Journal of Obstetrics. 



"Dr. Sayre has stamped his individuality on 

 every part of his book. Possessed of a taste for 

 mechanics, he has admirably utilized it in so modi- 

 fying the inventions of others as to make them of 

 far greater practical value. The care, patience, and 

 perseverance which he exhibits in fulfilling all the 

 conditions necessary for success in the treatment of 

 this troublesome class of cases are worthy of all 

 praise and imitation." Detroit Review of Medi- 

 cine. 



"Its teaching is sound, and the originality 

 throughout very pleasing ; in a word, no man 

 should attempt the treatment of deformities of joint 

 affections without being familiar with the views 

 contained in these lectures." Canada Medical and 

 Surgical Journal.
