Excerpt from A Guide to Health, Being an Exposition of the Principles of the Thomsonian System of Practice, and Their Mode of Application in the Cure of Every Form of Disease I have endeavored to present plain, simple facts in a plain, simple manner; so as to be easily understood by all. The technicalities of medical works are left out, or explained in a glossary, where any medical word used in this work may be found, with its meaning. I acknowledge my indebtedness to Drs. Thomson, Curtis, and others. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
