Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from What to Do Until the Doctor Comes: A Manual of Instructions as to the Proper Method of Managing Cases of Poisoning, Sudden Illness, Accidents, Etc., While Awaiting the Arrival of the Physician
For placing this little volume before the public the author offers no apology. The questions constantly asked during twelve years of active practice in city and country, have demonstrated to him its necessity. Some medical literature is found in almost every household, most of it practically useless, much of it positively pernicious.
A treatise on The Practice of Medicine is not needed - ifor such, in the hands of persons not thoroughly skilled by reason of a long course of training and study, becomes dangerous. What is required, however, is a concise manual or hand-book containing plain instructions for the management of accidents, injuries, poison ings, sudden illness, etc., during the anxious interval that elapses - often hours in country districts, between the summoning and the arrival of the physician. Prompt action by some sensible, cool headed person would often save life could he know just what course to pursue. This in our little manual we endeavor to teach, using plain language and so arranging and indexing the subject matter as to render it instantly available.
