VERY CONDITION: A tightly bound volume, very minor cracking to front hinge, generally clean pages, complete with all pages and illusrations. An excellent copy for this rare 18th Century Victorian Guide. The Cottage Physician was intended to be a practical home medical book to prevent sickness, promote health, to diminish human suffering, and to lessen the expense of maintaining the blessing of health in home. Technical names and medical phrases have been studiously avoided or carefully interpreted, and the entire work stripped of that cloud of mystery which characterizes other books of similar nature. This volume will be found so broad in its scope of information, so simple in language, so clear in expression, and so comprehensive that even those of very limited knowledge will find it a never ending-failing guide in promoting health, curing disease, and in the emergencies of the home. The practical instructions for the home range from Medical Cures, Homeopathic Remedies, Homeopathic Prescriptions, Hydropathic Treatment, Medicines, Antidotes, Disinfectants, Patent Medicine Recipes, Ointments, Mineral Waters Possessing Healing Virtues, Food, Toilet Remedies, Household Memoranda, and much much more!
