Preface

The bite of an insect, a midnight sickness, an accidental poison¬ ing, have many times proved fatal while the messenger was sent for a physician; when on the kitchen-hearth, in the ice-box, the store-room, the dairy, the hen’s nest, the big road, and the spring branch there were remedies more available for cure than the surgeon’s knife or the physician’s skill; more powerful for good than any drug ever taken from the shelf of the apothecary ; but no one knew it, and the patient died. A main object of this book is to give such information as will enable the most unlet¬ tered reader to avail himself promptly of those means for saving health and life, which Nature and Providence have thrown broad¬ cast around him in wonderful profusion.
