Excerpt from Health, Disease and Remedy: Familiarly Practically Considered, Practically in a Few of Their Relations to the Blood
A preface is usually an afterthought, intended to bespeak the reader's good opinion at the outset. In this case there is little to be said, as the book cannot be commended unless it speak for itself. Those readers, however, who are not disposed to examine the claims of one who stands at their service without a character, may be honestly informed that the book was written neither for fame nor for fees, but simply from the desire of being useful to both reader and writer. It is neither a popular compendium of physiology, a hand-book of physic, an art of healing made easy, a medical guide-book, a domestic medicine, a digest of odd scraps on digestion, nor a dry reduction of a better book, hut rather a running comment on a few prominent truths in medical science, viewed according to the writer's own experience, and on the principles of common sense.
