First published in 1796, this book reflects the 18th century's growing interest in promoting measures for maintaining health and well-being. Willich's approach to health is holistic, emphasizing the interconnection between physical and mental well-being. He advocates for a balanced diet, the consumption of fresh and unadulterated foods, and the avoidance of harmful substances. Hygiene and cleanliness are recurring themes, with practical guidance provided for maintaining personal and environmental cleanliness. Regular physical activity and exercise are deemed essential for physical fitness and mental health. Furthermore, Willich acknowledges the link between mental and physical health, encouraging stress management and mental relaxation. The book also delves into preventive measures to avoid illness and disease, including vaccination and the importance of clean air. Willich's accessible writing style aimed to make his advice applicable to a broad readership. Anthony Florian Madinger Willich was born at R�ssel, Ermland, in East Prussia (now Retzel, Poland) and died in February 1804 at Kharkov in Ukraine. He was a significant figure in the field of preventive medicine and hygiene during a time when there was a growing interest in promoting health and well-being. Willich was educated and trained in medicine, and he used his knowledge to provide practical advice to the general public on how to maintain good health. Shaw and Shoemaker, 1666; Austin, 2068.
