PHYSICIAN,
IN BOTH
ENGLISH AND GERMAN,

EMBRACING the several modes of treat
II ment, as practiced by the different
schools of Physicians so that person may
select the method that may be preferred, or
the most convenient, or even resort TO Sec
oDd or third, or to q combination of two orI
more, whenever desirable. The work FORMS
thoroughly lehgble guide 10 the detectlonl
and treatment of all diseases that can either
be checked in their career, or treated en-
tirely without the aid Of o Physician. III
would be preposterous to claim that by the
use of am book, the necessity Of sometimes
calling q physician can be done away with,
for there are many cases that require the ap-
plication of professional skill and large ex-
perience, but it must be perfectly plain to-
any one, that large majority Of the minor
ailments and some of the more severe ones
10 which flesh is heir, can be treated with
complete success by the aid of such treatise
as this while some diseases run their course
with such rapidity that no time is left to-
send for physician. The remedy mustbe r.
HAND, and the application made AT ONCE,
or 1t will be too late.
The first requisite In case of sickness Is to
know Uhdt IS tie matter and, secondly, rhdt
TO do. To this end, In this work:
1a. RUerythiRg that does not strictly pertain
to the subject Is excluded. u Il
3D. EUerything that neceIdrily pertains 10
the subject Is included. g"
Sd. An inder Of symptoms IS giren, By COM
pG,Ing Which, yih tie symptoms as manifested
in the patient, the true character Of he disease
can readitybe detected, and he proper remedies
applied.
By thus leaving out everything that does
not strictly belong to such work. 1t is
found practicable to give a fuller and much
more satisfactory presentation of the sub
jeets In one modest volume that retailS for
az 90 or 90 90, than can be found in any of
the bulky volumes that sell for twice or three
times as much. Some people seem to esu-
mate the value Of q book by its buk they
do not stop to think that diamond is worth
q million times lts bulk Of iron.
If agents have been able to dispose of i'm
mense editions of similar works (having
much to recommend them, perhaps, but
quite inferior to this,) at from &6 to $40 per
copy, Il Is not to be wondered at that there
should be a wide spread demand and ready
sale for book like this, that gives more In
formation In onsJourh the space and atone
third the cost.
Il requires no argument to convince a
person that II Is well worth the small sum
Of $2 80 or SO to have, right in ones ora
h0Hse, reliable Family Physician, dl,edys al
hand ready 10 be consulted, and TO give the
pery best Of adVice, free Of charge. The Doc
tors bills saved, by the use of this book.
would amount to more every year, In any
ordinary family than several times Its cost,
to say nothing of the amount Of suffering
saved, and the possible saving Of life itself
But recently a gentleman wrote: "foNr
book has not only sGved me large DOCTORS biR
but he life Of my boy" while, according TO
his own statement. he lost the little brother
of theboy saved, by not having the book In
time. .f...., .,-
It's a fact that great many who had pre-
vIously invested a8 or $40 In one of the
bulky VOlumes alluded to above, buy this
also and for the same reason that the
thrifty, enterprising farmer casts aside the
cradle bought years ago for cutting his
wheat, for the modern reaper and moyer.
True economy dictates the adoption and
use of the best tools and most approved ma
chlnery that can be had In the operations
of the farm. II certainly none the less re-
qulres the employment Of the best attain
able means for the preservation of one s
health, and the treatment of the diseases
