THE RURAL NEW-YORKER 
111 
Great Value! 
WITHIN THE REACH OF EVERYBODY. 
THE BEST POSSIBLE AND MOST 
PRACTICAL WORK ON THE 
SUBJECT IN EXISTENCE. 
Wood’s 
Household 
Practice of 
Medicine. 
There are few readers who will not re¬ 
member this splendid work as an honored 
part of the family library in thousands of 
rural homes. It is written by some of the 
greatest physicians in modern times, and is 
highly indorsed by the medical profession 
at large. Although it has been so long and 
favorably known, it has been kept written 
and revised up to date in every particular. 
Its publishers have placed it in the hands 
of only two newspapers to offer as pre¬ 
miums, and quite properly chose The 
Rural New-Yorker as ope. The edition 
we offer is the latest revised. 
OPINIONS OF THE CRITICS. 
A “Manual of Medicine,” for family use, giving 
full directions and Instructions for every emergency 
that could arise. Clear, easily understood, trust¬ 
worthy and fully Illustrated. Each division written 
by the physician most eminent in that branch of 
medical science. Nothing so complete was ever 
before attempted, and probably never will be again. 
—Kew York World. 
A practical treatise for the use or families, travel¬ 
ers, seamen, miners, and all who are liable to disease 
and accident, requiring speedy attention, Objections 
against attempts to popularize such knowledge may 
be met by the argument that some physiological 
basis of practical medicine enters into the ordinary 
education ot the day ; and also by the common- 
sense reasoning that a sufferer had better be relieved 
inexpertly than die in waiting for a doctor. Besides, 
if people as a rule are ignorant of such subjects, the 
sooner they are taught something ihat may be 
vltaily useful the better, and it is writings of this 
kind that will teach them. The work is beautifully 
prtLied. and the finely executed wood engravings, 
over 7l0 in number, materially assist in the elucida¬ 
tion of all that might be doubtful in the text.—Lon¬ 
don Telegraph. 
A work which physicians consider desirable for 
popular use, and w hlch has been prepared for such 
use by members of the profession who are allowed to 
be experts in regard to the subjects of which they 
treat.— Mail and Express. 
The care of infants in health and disease, the in¬ 
stant measures to be taken in cases of various acci¬ 
dents and emergencies, and the treatment of various 
forms of common disease are ireated by specialists. 
The book is a valuable encyclopedia to the family 
practitioner, especially in the smaller towns and vil¬ 
lages, and country districts : but its special value is in 
the library of the household and in the hands of the 
intelligent father and mother. It will not make a 
doctor out of ihe housewife or husband ; but it will 
make the housewife and the husband intelligent co- 
operators with the physician. It will teach them 
when they ought to call a physician, it will instruct 
them how to live so as to avoid disease and the ne¬ 
cessity of a physician’s visits, and it will even stand 
them in good stead when sudden emergencies or 
special circumstances of any kind throw them upon 
their own resources .—The Christian Union.
