Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "Mrs. Johnson with the author's regards." Weir has also noted "25 copies large paper No. 19." In near fine condition. One of Mitchell's most popular works, Doctor an Patient provides a prime example of the eminent physician's direct appeal to the common sense and intelligence of the layman at large. Addressed chiefly to women, the essays include: The Physician, Convalescence, Pain and Consequences, The Moral Management of Sick or Invalid Children, Nervousness and it Influence on Character, and Out-Door Camp-Life for Women. The work quickly gained popularity upon publication and went through four revisions.
