Excerpt from Homoeopathic Domestic Physician: Containing the Treatment of Diseases; Popular Explanations of Anatomy, Physiology, Hygiene and Hydropathy, a Treatise on Domestic Surgery, and an Abridged Materia Medica As the use of a domestic medical work is almost wholly confined to the inmates of a family, who can not be expected to know much about technical medical terms, its style and contents should be adapted to the knowledge of its readers. Accordingly, the Author has, as much as possible, avoided all technical terms; and, where they had to be introduced, their meaning is fully explained in an ample Glossary at the end of the book.
