Transcriber's notes: In this plain text version, italic text is denoted by _underscores_ and bold text by =equals signs=. Numbered footnotes are located below the relevant paragraphs. In the list of errata, page numbers are consistent with those in the book but line numbers do not correspond because of word-wrapping requirements to produce this screen-readable text. Capitalisation, hyphenation, and spelling styles vary throughout the book and almost all have been left in the original format (some marked with [sic]); some of the more obvious variations are listed below. Inserted corrections are enclosed in [ ]. Abbreviations such as U.S., M.A., and M.D. vary as to whether they are spaced or closed up. a-day/a day ancle/ankle aught/ought a-week/a week bason/basin catemenia/catamenia colic/cholic degrees/deg./° diarrhoea/diarrhœa ear-ache/ear-ach etc/&c everywhere/every where Freywalden/Freywaldau/Freiwaldau Greenough/Greenhough headache/head-ache Homoæpathic/Homeopathy/Homæopathist Hydropathy/hydropathy and related terms Hygeia/hygeia inquire/enquire Jenison/Jennison kidnies/kidneys mattrass/mattress Packing-sheet/packing-sheet/Packing sheet/packing sheet Priessnitz's/Priessnitz' reaction/re-action ringworm/ring worm Rubbing-Sheet/Rubbing-sheet/rubbing-sheet/rubbing sheet shews/shows sitting-bath/sitting bath sitz/Sitz smallpox/small pox staid/stayed tepid-bath/tepid bath Vanderheyden/Van der Heyden watercure/water-cure/Water-cure/water cure/Water cure EVERY MAN HIS OWN DOCTOR.
