Preface

Read! Read! Read! The New Quick-Cure Series of Doctor Books; published in part numbers (from one to twenty-four) nicely bound, either six or more in one volume or separately. Are designed for individual and family use. Simple remedies — can be made up quickly in every home.

All I ask is — read me, and I will do you good. I will surely help and cure you if curable. Everything printed in plain English, so that every old or young person can treat their own case and make their own cures when sick, and prevent disease when well. There is not a family in the land but will, in case of emergency, or even upon every ordinary occasion, first resort to or make up something to relieve sufiferir pain, without calling a doctor. Then, read what are the advantages of having in the house this series of books, saving a hundred times their cost in a very short time, and perhaps death, thus blessing a home.

VI PREFACE.

Nothing to sell in this book, but everything to give or tell you in the way of good advice and useful medical information.

" An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. ,, Medicate your brain more and your stomach less. First learn the cause; then avoid or remove it. And a great many times the worst chronic diseases, such as dyspepsia, piles, rheumatism, etc., will cure themselves without one single particle of medicine.

Note all throughout this series of books I have endeavored to write everything as plainly as possibly can be written, and a great many times I have used two words in succession where each one contained the same meaning. For in my travels I came in contact with so many persons who, although having had a good or fair common-school education, yet it was almost an impossibility to make them understand certain things; so, in my symptoms, causes, preventions, and cures, I have written up everything that could possibly be thought of in regard to the disease in the plainest way. And there are many reasons why these books or parts should become a part of every well-regulated household. First, because they are written, as I have said before, in the plainest and most comprehensible English that can be spoken or written and understood by

everyone irrespective of a certain amount of common-school education. Secondly, because they treat on diseases or ailments which all mankind, rich or poor, professional or laboring people, may be subject to. Thirdly, because the cures are within the reach of all classes, whether residing in the city or country. Fourthly, because the ingredients of which the formulas are composed can be found at all times in nearly every household. Fifthly, and lastly, because these formulas contain absolutely nothing of a poisonous or dangerous nature, but are nearly all purely herbal and harmless, effecting their respective cures in a quick and pleasing manner. Hundreds of treatments and medical formulas for making remedies for ailments of everyday occurrence are given in the different numbers. Also containing a great many formulas never published before in any other book; many of them are for curing chronic diseases which at the present time afflict six persons out of ten in this country. To my dearest friends, the poor suffering humanity who have scarcely ever given the " T sec-

toring " or practice of medicine a single t. these series of Doctor Books are most respectfully dedicated by the author.

Dr. H. A. Rethcef.
