Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Maintenance of Health: A Medical Work for Lay Readers
It is not a Family Practice of Medicine, but aims at the inculcation of those principles which ought to guide us in our search after health.
While essentially a popular work, the different subjects are handled with strict, indeed all attainable accuracy, and according to the most recent physiological teaching. As a consequence thereof, this little book may be found not altogether unworthy of the attention of those just entering the medical profes'sion or even of those older members of it whose lives have been spent in attention to the wants of others rather than in adding to their own stores of information.
Many of the chapters are original and novel, as, for instance Chapter IX., on 'overwork, and Physiological Bankruptcy.
