Excerpt from Homoeopathic Home and Self Treatment of Disease: For the Use of Families and Travellers
Dear Friend: - The author of this book, after a long, successful, and varied practice of medicine, desires to place in the hands of families and individuals, a reliable guide to Home and Self-Treatment of disease, whereby those who consult these pages with care, will be able to become their own physicians in cases of emergency, and, indeed, in many of the common forms of sickness.
Many persons must or will doctor themselves, more or less, from various considerations, and there seems to be no good reason why they should not, if they will take the pains to get instruction in this important matter. There are times, indeed, when a doctor cannot easily be obtained, and when a little medicine, carefully chosen and promptly used, will save, not only a long sickness and great expense, but even life itself. It is a good policy to meet disease at the threshold of its invasion, and in nothing is the time-honored adage more applicable than in sickness, that "a stitch in time saves nine."
Books on Domestic Practice may aid the people very much in so doing, and those which most briefly and best describe the various forms of disease, and point out the safest and most appropriate remedies, will best supply this popular necessity. A book for this purpose should be written in common language, and not to display the learning of the author, or his ability to use a long list of hard, technical words.
