THE HOMOEOPATHIC DOMESTIC PHYSICIAN. BY CONSTANTINE HERING, M.D. " SEVENTH AMERICAN EDITION. PHILADELPHIA: F. E. BOERICKE, Hahnemann Publishing House. 1883. RX76 H 1883 BIOLOGY "THE GREATEST TRIUMPH OF A SCIENCE IS WHEN IT BECOMES THE COMMON PROPERTY OF THE PEOPLE AND THUS CONTRIBUTES TO THE COMMON WEAL," Copyrighted by Theresa Hering, 1883. IN MEMORIAM PRES GLOBE PRINTING DELPHIA EDITOR'S PREFACE. Not long before the death of the lamented author of this work, the correction of the last English edition, now for some years out of print, was undertaken by his daughters, Mrs. J. Foster Pope and Mrs. Dr. C. B. Knerr. They compared it, page by page, with the latest German edition (the fourteenth), which had but a short time previously been subject to a thorough revision at Dr. Hering's hands. Some material was eliminated, and considerable matter was added from the German. The present editor, a former assistant of Dr. Hering, undertook, at his desire, the task of superintending the publication of the work. Some additions to the text have been made, a few remedies introduced, and, at times, slight alterations in the arrangement effected, but the well-known views of the author have been respected in whatever has been done, but for unavoidable reasons, the issue of the present edition has been delayed until this time. For the table of contents and the very complete index, the editor is indebted to the careful labors of Dr. L. J. Knerr. CLAUDE R. NORTON, M.D. PHILADELPHIA, JANUARY, 1883. 922804 |
