Synopsis

Excerpt from Dr. Danelson's Counselor With Recipes: A Practical and Trusty Guide for the Family, and a Suggestive Hand-Book for the Physician

Tmz majority of physicians, we believe, are prejudiced against books which popularize medicine; and why, we fail to understand. They cannot reasonably object to every man, woman, and child having a correct, rather than a fanciful knowledge of physiology, of the operations and functions of the organs of their own bodies in fact, of the life within themselves. Most doctors regret not hav ing at an earlier period in their own lives possessed such informa tion. Any opposition to the dissemination of the facts an ples of hygiene will be futile, for the newspaper press has under taken this form of education, and the avidity with which health articles are copied and recopied shows a desire for such. If the want is not met by the profession, who should be best qualified for the work, it will be supplied by the intelligent outside its ranks. At the present time this is the case to a great extent, and the whole subject is discussed ably and wisely by the laity. An exception may be noted in some of the largest publishing-houses, who are issuing small works in series on medical topics written by medical men.

To talk of the mystery of medicine in this age is simply foolishness, and it is equally out of place to assume the posses sion of scientific knowledge far beyond the comprehension of the masses. If a physician knows exactly the condition of his patient, and the causes and consequences of his difficulties, he can explain them so as to be understood by the least intelligent.
