HOW TO USE THIS BOOK.
You find in this book a plain description of the various maladies. You find their causes stated as far as known. You find the very best prescriptions which enable you to conquer disease. Whatever is of general help in this matter, is pointed out also.
The medicines which are recommended in this work, are called "Good Hope Remedies." They are prepared exclusively by the Good Hope Remedies Co., of which both authors are directors. They are in no way patent medicines ; but are prepared according to the best formulas of the medical schools both in Europe and in America. "Cure-alls" are ridiculous things. What we prepare and offer, are the regular prescriptions of skilled physicians. The many different forms of disease, require that we put up varied prescriptions. We use only the very best material. The reason for preparing the remedies ourselves is, to be thus enabled to guarantee the very best results.
The Good Hope Remedies possess the following 7 good qualities :
GOOD-HOPE MEDICAL GUIDE.
1. They are easy to take. (If desired we can furnish them without sugar-coating).
2. They are absolutely reliable.
3. They are very effective ; hence only small doses are needed.
4. They are non-poisonous.
5. They will never do any harm.
6. They cost but little.
7. They will never spoil (if kept as directed).
HOW TO PRESERVE THE GOOD HOPE REMEDIES.
Keep them in a dry place (not too warm), in a separate box, well-corked, away from the light and from all strong smelling substances (as camphor, perfumes etc.). Do not change the corks from one bottle to another. Never use a bottle for any other medicine than that which was originally in it.
HOW TO TAKE THE GOOD HOPE REMEDIES.
If you drop the pills from the bottle into your hand, see that the hand is perfectly dry and clean. It is much better to drop them into a clean spoon or small piece of paper. We advise to let the pills dissolve on the tongue. If a solution is called for, use clean glass and clean spoon. Separate glass and spoon for each remedy. Put cover on glass.
THE PROPER DOSE OF GOOD HOPE REMEDIES
Two (2) pills make a dose for a grown-up person; one (1) pill makes a dose for a child (till about 7 years
GOOD-HOPE MEDICAL GUIDE.
old). When you are to make a solution of the medicines, take a tumbler half full of pure water and dissolve in this 10 pills (5 pills for a child). It is often advisable to boil the water first and then cool it before making the solution. Renew such solutions each day. A tablespoonful of such a solution is a proper dose (for adults and children).
HOW OFTEN TO REPEAT THE DOSES.
In ordinary cases (acute), such as headache, colds, coughs, deranged stomach, etc., take 2 pills (dry on the tongue) every 2, 3 or 4 hours, according to the severity of the case.
In all urgent or danger oils cases, such as croup, colic, cramps, cholera, etc., the medicines will act best if dissolved and a tablespoonful (or a swallow) given every quarter, half or whole hour, according to the urgency of the case.
But always bear this Rule in mind: "The better the patient gets, the less medicine he ought to get;" (i. e. the less frequent he ought to take the medicine). It is not the Quantity but the Quality of the medicine on which the good result depends.
If a disease is of long standing (chronic) take only a dose once or twice a day. As soon as entire relief is obtained, stop taking.
The best Time for taking the medicines, is in the morning on rising and at night on retiring.
As a general thing we advise 3 or 4 doses daily in acute diseases. We also advise to take the medicines about y 2 hour before or after meals, rather than mix them up with the meals (urgent cases do not come under this direction).
