Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Medical Guide, for the Use of Families and Young Practitioners in Medicine and Surgery: Being a Complete System of Modern Domestic Medicine, Exhibiting a Comprehensive View of the Latest and Most Important Discoveries in Medicine, Pharmacy, &C
The very favourable reception of the two first editions of this work, induced the author to make many additions to the third, the demand for which, has been much greater than is usual for publica tions of this description. It obtained the sanction of medical men, esteemed for liberality and erudi tion, who directed copies to be sent to their friends abroad: it has been translated into different lan guages on the continent, and reprinted in America; circumstances which, in his opinion, entitled t/zis fourth edition to every possible improvement, which he Hatters himself it has received, and with this presumption it is now offered to the public. These improvements principally consist, in the addition of the latest discoveries in medicine, and much im portant information relative to the prevention, cure, palliation, and distinction of diseases, interspersed with such cautions and remarks as may prevent the misapplication of the means suggested, and which are not to be found in any other work of this na ture. The whole being the result of long experience and elaborate study. He Hatters himself the contents will prove, both in Domestic Medicine, and to young practitioners, of the highest utility.
