A HAND-BOOK FOR EVERY HOME.
JUST PUBLISHED, BY DR E. M. HUNT, A. M., M. D., AUTHOR OF PHYSICIANS' COUNSEL ETC.
This is a new and valuable book, which tells How to Preserve Health; What to do in Sudden Attacks, or until the Doctor comes; and how best to Profit by his Directions when given.
It is a work which should be in the hands of every Family and every Physician in the land. In a plain, concise, and interesting form, it imparts such information concerning Health and Disease as it is for the interest of both Patient and Physician to possess. Differing from any other book of the kind ever published in this country, we feel that it will fill an important space, and be valued by all so fortunate as to obtain it.
The following are a few of the subjects treated:
Exercise. Diet Ventilation.
Laws of Health.
Digestion.
Bathing.
How to Avoid Contagion.
Advice to Invalids.
Influence of Mind over Body.
Headache.
Constipation.
Sun-stroke.
Ruptures.
Situation of Internal Organs.
Dyspepsia.
Public Health.
Doses of Medicine.
Colds and Coughs.
Skin Diseases.
The Five Senses.
Poisons and their Remedies.
Burns and Scalds.
Wounds and Bruises.
Choking and Suffocation.
Bites of Mad Animals.
Care of the Teeth.
The Sick-room.
Diet for the Sick.
Facts about Ourselves.
The Patients' and Physicians' Aid does not attempt to teach the Arts and Mysteries of Medicine. It is written by an intelligent and experienced Physician who has given just the information that is needed in every family.
We present, the work to the public, believing it will be an invaluable aid in taking care of the sick, preventing serious diseases, and saving many valuable lives.
