PREFACE
As Health is the noblest blessing of this life, the method of procuring it should be our principle enquiry. While possessed of it, we seldom pay a proper attention to its importance; when lost, we become sensible of its value, but are frequently careless concerning its recovery. The reasons are plain, while we have it we trifle with it till it flies us; when fled, we trifle with our misfortune, because we suppose the recovery to be impossible or improbable. For the benefit of mankind, we here furnish the public with some of the best and easiest methods of recovering and securing health, and of preserving life, which comprehend the greatest discoveries of the Medical Art. These will equally suit all ranks of people; the Poor, because the Remedies may be cheaply obtained; and the rich, because they may be easily put in practice. Hence Health may be recovered with Facility, and a Knowledge of the powers of medicine obtained without Difficulty. So that our readers may at once cease to be Patients themselves, or, if they please, become Practical Physicians to others.
