From the Tribune. 
’“*He has no affinity with the class of old-women doctors who are eternally fussing 
and dosing, and with their infallible prescriptions break down more constitutions than 
all the skill of the faculty can repair. His principal aim is to point out the causes which 
lead to disease, and to prevent its occurrence by observing the physical laws which are 
the conditions of health.” 
From Nature. 
“The work is of great value as a practical guide to enable the reader to detect and 
avoid various sources of disease, and it contains, in addition, several introductory chap- 
ters on natural life and natural death, the phenomena of disease, disease antecedent to 
birth, and on the effects of the seasons, of atmospheric temperature, of atmospheric 
pressure, of moisture, winds, and atmospheric chemical changes, which are of great 
general interest.” See Pe 
_From the Charleston mn 
“In this valuable and deeply-interesting work Dr. Richardson treats the nervous 
system as the very principle of life; and he shows how men do it violence, yet expect 
immunity where the natural sentence is death. a 
From the Toledo Chronicle. 
“His aim in the book under consideration is to teach the living generations to so 
conduct themselves, and avoid and prevent disease, that death will not come prematurely, 
as is almost generally the case at the present time. His work contains many useful and 
valuable hints, suggestions, and directions, and they are put in such good and readable 
shape that-one does not tire in studying them.” 
From the Boston Commonwealth. 
“Particular attention is given to diseases from worry and mental strain, from the 
passions, from alcohol, tobacco, narcotics, foods, impure air, late hours, and broken 
sleep, idleness, intermarriage, etc., thus touching upon causes which do not enter into 
the consideration of sickness.”” - ie
