This book was released on 2019-03-05 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With some 250 useful illustrations, and charts, this unique medical book was written in 1923 when physicians still made house calls, and many hospitals were still called sanitariums. The modern medical care of the day incorporated healthful living and simple remedies such as hydrotherapy (one of the book's largest chapters) in its routine approach to practically all disease states. Our modern world presents a strange paradox. Men work with all the energy of their being to amass a fortune, so that they may live in ease and comfort in the autumn of life. But they have no more than ceased from their strenuous labors, when some disease overtakes them, and they go the way of all flesh, and their hard earned dollars go to another.How foolish is the course that so many pursue! For what pleasure can a million of money give if the body be racked with pain! Or of what value are extensive property holdings in a great metropolis if an outraged constitution commits the offender to a narrow lot in a city of the dead!It has well been said that "to keep the body in a healthy condition, to develop its strength, that all its machinery may act harmoniously, should be the first study of our lives." Too many not only do not make this the "first study" of their lives, they fail to study it at all. If our modern age of efficiency and higher education has taught us one thing, it is that success and development are possible in any line to those only who study the subject thoroughly and act upon the principles discovered in such study. Even so with health. Real physical well-being is rarely the result of chance. It comes rather from following, either consciously or instinctively, definite rules.Despite the apathy of some toward the great subject of life and health and the prevention and cure of disease, there is a marked awakening on the part of men and women in every land to the need of educating themselves on these vital subjects. They are finding that the time thus spent is far more than offset by the reduction of days consumed by sickness, and that the money invested in such study pays big dividends in decreased doctor bills and smaller life insurance premiums. Men are beginning to realize that most gratifying results follow from taking an intelligent interest in the welfare of their bodies.Formerly about the only kind of literature put out for the laity, on this subject, dealt wholly with sets of rules, which were generally prefaced with the suggestive phrase, "What to do before the doctor comes." Today men are asking that the scope be enlarged to include a full discussion of what to do, and how to live, to make unnecessary the doctor's coming. They desire that the matter be presented to them in a simple yet scientific form. They ask that the latest findings of scientists be translated into terms which can be easily understood, and adapted to everyday life.This volume is the answer to such a request. Indeed, it is the result of an insistent demand on the part of men everywhere, who have failed to find in the many popular medical books that which they desire. Written not by one doctor but by a large staff of skilled physicians, it presents every phase of the subject from the standpoint of the specialist. Each chapter has been composed by one peculiarly fitted for the task.Many pages are devoted to the great principles underlying health and happiness. Much is said concerning the prevention as well as the cure of disease. Little has been said about medicine in the cure of disease. This is in harmony with the latest findings of medical men, who are turning from drugs to such rational methods of treatment as are described in this book.The Publishers. (Adapted 1923 Preface)

This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Care of the Consumptive a Consideration of the Scientific Use of Natural Therapeutic, Agencies in the Prevention and Cure of Consumption: Together With a Chapter on Colorado, as a Resort for Invalids As clear and practical a way as possible, the rules that should govern the consumptive in the use of fresh air, sunlight, food, rest, and exercise, so that these natural therapeutic agencies can be applied to the best advantage. As these are to-day, and have been from the dawn of medical history, the most efficient in action and durable in effect of any curative methods ever applied for the arrest of consumption, or tubercular disease of the lungs, it is hoped that a few prac tical hints as to their application, compiled from various sources by one who has had ample op portunities of testing their power, may be useful to the invalid or to his physician. But in making them the author does not intend in any way to supplant medical advice. In fact, he considers that the consumptive who is without the careful and constant supervision of a physician is like.

Download or read book How to Be Healthy written by Galen and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-01-09 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Timeless wisdom about how to be healthy in body and mind from one of the greatest physicians of the ancient world The second-century Greek physician Galen—the most famous doctor in antiquity after Hippocrates—is a central figure in Western medicine. A talented doctor, surgeon, writer, philosopher, teacher, pharmacologist, and inventor, Galen attended the court of Marcus Aurelius, living through outbreaks of plague (likely smallpox) that devastated the Roman Empire. He also served as physician for professional gladiators, boasting that only two fighters died during his first year (his predecessor had lost sixteen). In writings that provided the foundation of Western medicine up to the nineteenth century, Galen created a unified account of health and disease. In How to Be Healthy, practicing physician and classical historian Katherine Van Schaik presents a collection of Galen’s enduring insights about how we can take care of our bodies and minds, prevent disease, and reach a healthy old age. Although we now know that many of Galen’s ideas about physiology are wrong, How to Be Healthy shows that much of his advice remains sound. In these selections from his writings, presented in fresh translations, Galen discusses the art of medicine, exercise and diet, the mind-body connection, the difficulty of applying general medical principles to individuals, and much more. Featuring an introduction, brief commentaries that connect ancient medical practices to modern ones, and the original Greek on facing pages, How to Be Healthy offers an entertaining and enlightening new perspective on the age-old pursuit of wellness, from the importance of “the exercise with a small ball” to the benefits of “avoiding distress.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Consumptive's Guide to Health: Or, the Invalid's Five Questions, and the Doctor's Five Answers Prompted by a desire to study as fully as possible the class of diseases treated of in the following pages, the author was sometime since induced to visit Europe, Where superior hospital advantages are enjoyed, and private instructions given by the most eminent physicians upon special diseases, Auscultation, Percussion, &c., &c. Having availed himself of these and other advantages in the colleges and hospitals of Paris, Brussels, Lon don, Dublin, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and several other cities, he re turned to his native country, rejoicing in the belief that the pro gress of consumption, bronchitis and other diseases of the chest, and diseases of the throat can be arrested by the hand of Science. Under this belief he determined to devote special attention to the treatment of those diseases. He has hurriedly prepared this little work, during detached moments snatched from his profes sional engagements, and presents it to his patients, friends, and the public - to whom the work is respectfully dedicated - with the sincere hope that it may be instrumental in averting the rav ages of the peculiar scourges of our climate. The author cor dially invites just and candid criticism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
