Book excerpt: Excerpt from Every Man His Own Doctor: Or a Treatise on the Prevention and Cure of Diseases, by Regimen and Simple Medicines In this first Edition, of Every man his own Doctor, the Treatise on the prevention and cure of Diseases, as la1d down by Dr. Buchan has been follower] without any alte1a110n, except the omission of some gen eral observations, which were designed, principally, for Physicians and some a rieles v hich have become obsolete; such as the Small Pox, the bites of Poisonous Animals, &c. The omission of these, has given room for much to be added, which has greatly enhanced the value of this Edition. It has long been the opinion of Naturalists, and men of Science, that; there were medicinal p1cpe1t1es in many at the Plants 1n this country, that were equal, if not superior, to the exotic drugs and medicines that areso much used. 'much has been done within a few years, in the science of Botany; and great discoveries have been made, which will be of lasting benefit to mankind. In this volume, a t1eatise is given of the Materia Medica, in which the medicinal properties of indigenous plants, that are most generally known in the United States, are given, and clearly explained accord ing to the latest and most approved discoveries. The Reader will at once see the advantage of such a plan, by being made acquainted with the virtues of the herbs that he is daily treading under foot and which we1e given for the use of man; and having them described, and clas sed, according to their different properties, any person of common oh selvntion, need not be at a loss in most cases to know which are the most proper to be used.
