Excerpt from A Guide to Health: Being a Compendium of Medical Instruction, Upon Botanic Principles, Designed for the Use of Families, and Private IndividualsBut we must here indulge a few thoughts with reference to the comparative merits of the Botanic and mineral prac tice, but from this part of my work I would beg to be excu~ sed, did not a sense of duty forbid, for truly I have strong feeling of personal friendship, for many who freely use the mineral poison and the deadly lancet to remove diseases, but can I be silent on this subject, while I have not a doubt but many thousands are now sleeping in a premature grave who but for these engines ofdeath might have been now enjoy ing life. And lam equally certain that thousands are yet dragging out a wretched existence, with maimed bodies or broken constitutions, looking down to the grave as their only relief, while these circumstances too are referable to the same fruitful source of human misery and woe.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
