Excerpt from Practical Manual of Health and Temperance: Embracing the Treatment of Common Diseases, Accidents and Emergencies, the Alcohol and Tobacco Habit, Useful Hints and Recipes
The increasing interest in the subjects of health and temperance reform has created a great demand for pop ular literature on the subject, to meet which, in part, has led to the preparation of this little volume. The small size of the volume necessarily restricts the number of topics to those of the most practical character, and makes it impossible to treat any of the numerous subjects touched upon in an exhaustive manner. The author has endeavored, however, to present such simple and practical suggestions on a large variety of topics as will make the book of real practical service to every one into whose hands it may fall.
