Excerpt from Buchan's Domestic Medicine, or the Family Physician: Designed to Render the Medical Art More Generally Useful, by Showing People What Is in Their Own Power; Both With Respect to the Prevention and Cure of Diseases; Chiefly Calculated to Recommend a Proper Attention to Regimen, and Simple MedicinesThe reception, however, which this work has met with from the Pub lic, merits my most grateful acknowledgments. As the best way of ex pressing these, I have endeavoured to render it more generally useful, by enlarging the prophylaxis, or that part which treats of preventing di seases; and by adding many articles which had been entirely omitted in the former impressions It is needless to enumerate these additions; I shall only say, that I hope they will be found real improvements.The observations relative to Nursing and the Management of chil dren, were chie&#64258;y suggested by an extensive practice among infants, in a large branch of the Foundling Hospital, where I had an opportunity not only of treating the diseases incident to childhood, but likewise of try ing different plans of nursing, and observing their effects. Whenever I had it in my power to place the children under the care of proper nurses, to instruct these nurses in their duty, and to be satisfied that they performed it, very few of them died; but when, from distance of place, and other unavoidable circumstances, the children were left to the sole care of mercenary nurses, without any person to instruct and superintend them, scarce any of them lived.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
