Excerpt from Dr. Chase's Third, Last and Complete Receipt Book and Household Physician, or Practical Knowledge for the People: From the Life-Long Observations of the Author, Embracing the Choicest, Most Valuable and Entirely New Receipts in Every Department of Medicine, Mechanics, and Household Economy
In presenting this book to the public, we make no apologies. There never was but one Doctor A. W. Chase. The immense sale of his former works is evidence that the public demand all that ever came from his prolific and philanthropic pen. There is no man now living, and none dead, whose writings have been so eagerly sought for, and no man, whose whole life was so devoted to the good of others. Through reverses in business, he left no pecuniary benefits to his family except the manuscript of this book, but died with the consciousness that his work had been appreciated and that he had been a benefactor to mankind. Dr. Chase's name is a household word in millions of homes; we trust this book will make it a familiar name in a million more, and, although this, his final work, is by him dedicated to the people whom he served so long and well, we, as publishers, think it befitting to such as he to inscribe it The Memorial Edition and dedicate it to his children.
