Excerpt from Our Family Doctor: A Companion to "Our Household Medicine Case", The A. B. C. Of Medicine, Especially Adapted to Daily Use in the HomeA further difficulty was always found: When the symptoms of the patient's complaint had been gather ed, as with a skimmer, from a very dilute and watery stream of discourse, and the proper remedy had been made out, the materials wherewith to compound the potion were not at hand, but were at the distant drug store! What wonder at the result when, in nine cases out of ten, with all the danger and damage - to be charged to the profit and loss account-in the end the guardians of the poor sufferer, - in whose case ominous changes begin to develop during the terrible delay, - throw aside the lumbering medical volume with a secret anathema upon the heads of its unfortunate author and publisher, and hurry at last to the doctor whose task has perhaps by this time grown far too huge for him! Then the good doctor arrives: notes the patient's symptoms, and decides on the remedies.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
