SIS 10 Gunn's Domestic Medicine, Or Poor Man's Friend : in the hours of afflic tion, pain and sickness, a safe and reliable guide. THIS book points out, in plain language, free from doctors' terms, the Diseases of Men, Women, and Children, and the latest and most improved means used in their cure, and is intended expressly for the benefit of families. It also contains descriptions of the Medi cal Roots and Herbs of the United States, anyhow they are to be used in the cure of diseases. It is arranged on a new and simple plan, by which the practice ot Medi cine is reduced to principles of common sense. This invaluable book has passed through many edi tions ; it has now been revised and improved in every respect, and enlarged to nearly double its former size ; and contains nine hundred octavo pages. It does not propose to dispense with physicians in se vere cases , but it does propose to save thousands and tens of thousands annually, by putting the means of cure into every man's hands, and of saving many valuable lives (which is ot far more importance) by instructing individuals how to check disease in its be, innings, be fore it has acquired too much strength to resist and overcome.
