* * * As to its origin, it comes from one who certainly stands at the head of the medical profession in the West, John King, M. D., and Professor of Medicine, Cincinnati, is a man of more than twenty years' experience in the healing art, and stands pre-eminent as an educator in the same. The book deserves much credit for its simplicity of style. It is not written for the purpose of scientific display, _but for the good of the people_. It goes further toward redeeming those practical facts contained in medical science from the dead masses of technical lumber, by which they have heretofore been secluded from the comprehension of those who have the best right to understand them, than any work extant which it has been our privilege to review. Any man of common sense may * * * fully understand it; and by still further application of his mother wit, may successfully treat almost all forms of disease peculiar to this country, and thereby _save much of his hard earnings_. * * * We commend it to the people generally. JANESVILLE, WIS., OCT. 20, 1860. I have examined with care the "New American Family Physician," by John King, M. D., and I am free to say that it contains a great amount of medical information which ought to be put into the hands of every family in the land. Its household suggestions are invaluable.
