    OF THE AMERICAN EDITOR. This small volume has appeared to be so well calculated to fulfil the intentions of the writer, and contains so much that is really useful, without that admixture of quackery which has hitherto been considered as a necessary ingre- dient of works on domestic medicine, that it is with much pleasure we present it to the American public. It has been carefully revised, and some additional matter added, which, it is hoped, will be found to increase the value of the volume. It must be always borne in mind, that the inten- tion of this work is not to enable any one to undertake the treatment of disease, but to give such plain directions as will instruct nurses and friends in their duties as aids to the medical attendant, and also to adopt such precautionary measures in the prevention of disease, as to preclude, in many cases, the necessity for the assistance of the Phy- sician.
