About This Book

A physician offers plain-language guidance for nonprofessionals on preserving health, preventing and recognizing common acute illnesses, and handling sudden accidents when medical help is distant. The material emphasizes nature's role in recovery and warns against harmful popular remedies, while giving clear descriptions of symptoms and some anatomical terms. It supplies a table of inexpensive, effective remedies with straightforward recipes and directions for their preparation and use, along with common-sense precautions and step-by-step measures for immediate care aimed at reducing harm where experienced practitioners cannot be quickly reached.
