Advice to the people in general, with regard to their health
Advice to the People in General, with Regard to Their Health is the English translation, by J. Kirkpatrick, of Avis au peuple sur sa santé, the popular medical guide published in 1761 by the Swiss physician Samuel-Auguste Tissot. Written for country people far from doctors and for the clergy and landowners who cared for them, it explains the causes of common diseases, attacks harmful remedies and quackery, and gives plain directions for treating fevers, pleurisy, sore throats, smallpox, colic, wounds, drowning and other emergencies, with a table of cheap medicines. It was translated across Europe and shaped eighteenth-century ideas of public health. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
