Without the fear of our family physician before our eyes, we say that this is a very good book to have in families. It contains much valuable instruction in the art of preserving and restoring health, which every man of common sense, who understands anything about the human frame, will see at once is, and must be, sound and reliable. It might, almost any day, be the means of saving a valuable life. We are honestly of the conviction that every household in the land would lessen its complaints and doctor’s bills, if they would read it and follow its suggestions.—_Boston Congregationalist._ The different cases upon which it treats number over _nine hundred_ in each of which the symptoms, the cause, and the _manner of treatment are given in full_.—_Clinton Tribune._ There is not a subject relating to health but what it treats upon, in an able manner.—_Howard Gazette._ Its 516 pages abound with thousands of facts and suggestions of the _highest importance to all_.—_Christian Inquirer._ It is the best work of the kind we have ever seen upon the subject, and ought to be _in every family_.—_Advertiser._ It is very elaborate, and is one of the very best of medical works. Every family should have a copy.—_Star of the West._ It is worth its weight in gold.—_Ellsworth Herald._ We know of no book comparable to this as THE BOOK for a family.—_Columbia Democrat._ It is a very able and excellent work, and one which we can heartily recommend to every family; it is everything that its name purports to be.—_Scientific American._ It is a very comprehensive, valuable work, and cannot fail to exert a salutary effect upon the public mind.—_Baltimore Sun._ We have no hesitancy in pronouncing it _a very useful book_, and one which should be in the possession of _every family_.—_Beaver Dam Republican._ Familiarity with its contents will save many dollars’ worth of drugs, and avert many weary days and months of sickness.—_Musical World._ The work embodies _a vast amount_ of information in regard to the structure and diseases of the human frame, which will be read with profit.—_N. England Farmer._ Not only are diseases described, and the appropriate treatment pointed out, but numerous examples are given, which cannot fail to interest the reader, and prove a _very acceptable family directory_.—_Boston Traveler._ It is exceedingly comprehensive, and well illustrated. It contains a great deal of information and sound advice, which every reader, whatever his views on medicine, would consider valuable.—_New York Courier._ A complete encyclopædia of every disease to which the human family is heir, _with the cure for each disease_.—_Day Book._ The Author has brought together a mass of information in reference to the human structure, its growth and its treatment, which will render his work of great use to readers _of all classes and conditions_.—_Philadelphia Daily Times._
