Excerpt from The Consumptive's Guide to Health: Or, the Invalid's Five Questions, and the Doctor's Five AnswersPrompted by a desire to study as fully as possible the class of diseases treated of in the following pages, the author was sometime since induced to visit Europe, Where superior hospital advantages are enjoyed, and private instructions given by the most eminent physicians upon special diseases, Auscultation, Percussion, &c., , &c., Having availed himself of these and other advantages in the colleges and hospitals of Paris, Brussels, Lon don, Dublin, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and several other cities, he re turned to his native country, rejoicing in the belief that the pro gress of consumption, bronchitis and other diseases of the chest, and diseases of the throat can be arrested by the hand of Science. Under this belief he determined to devote special attention to the treatment of those diseases. He has hurriedly prepared this little work, during detached moments snatched from his profes sional engagements, and presents it to his patients, friends, and the public - to whom the work is respectfully dedicated - with the sincere hope that it may be instrumental in averting the rav ages of the peculiar scourges of our climate. The author cor dially invites just and candid criticism.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
