Excerpt from On the Restoration of Health: Being Essays on the Principles Upon Which the Treatment of Many Diseases Is to Be ConductedThroughout the whole of the following Essays, the author has endeavoured, as he did in a preceding set of papers on the Preservation of Health, to write in such a manner that any reader would be able to understand him. Whenever he has had to choose between a tech nical and a common word, he has selected the latter, and if any exceptions can be found to this, they have arisen from inadvertence, or a desire to avoid tautology.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
