The Practical Guide to Health

By F. M. Rossiter, M. D.

A Thorough Treatise on Anatomy, Physiology, and Hygiene, Together with a Section on Diseases and Their Treatment

Dr. Rossiter, the author of “Practical Guide to Health,” makes the statement: “Health is that physical righteousness which results from the practise of physical virtues.” It therefore becomes the duty of every individual to gain a knowledge of these virtues, that he may be able to direct his life in harmony with them. This is the mission of “Practical Guide to Health.” First, to impart a knowledge of the different organs and functions of the body; second, to teach men and women how to take care of their bodies that they may keep in perfect health.

A Physiology

The book includes a study of anatomy and physiology, foods and their value, nature’s remedies, and diseases and their treatment. It is written by a physician of wide experience both in private practise and as superintendent of a successful sanitarium. The language is comparatively free from technical terms, and is at once clear, forcible, and fascinating.

A Text-Book

“PRACTICAL GUIDE TO HEALTH” will make a valuable text-book for nurses, combining, as it does, the study of physiology, anatomy, and food-values, with the study of diseases and their treatments.

A Home Manual

In the home it will be found of great practical value. The symptoms and treatment of all the common diseases are given. A complete index also records the prominent symptoms of each disease. By the use of the index you may diagnose the trouble and apply the remedy at once. Where the disease is so serious as to demand the attention of a physician, the book advises that one be consulted.

There are thirty-nine chapters in the complete work, numbering 635 pages. The book is superbly illustrated. Many of the colored plates in the department on diseases, as well as the majority of the anatomical drawings, were made from life, and represent the work of one of New York’s most skilful artists.
