The physical friend : pointing out the symptoms of every distemper incident to man; With those in every Stage of the Disease, and what they foretell. Together with an alphabetical index of the same symptoms; By which the sick Person, referring to any one that attacks him, may find out his Disorder, and his real Situation. By an occasional Recourse to this Book, many a tormenting and expensive Sickness may be prevented, and many a Life be saved; for even fatal Disorders are, at first, but slight Indispositions, of course the sick Person, not aware of his Danger, has too often delayed seeking for a Remedy, till the Distemper has gained too much Ground to be easily overcome, and perhaps has destroyed him, when by opposing it in Time, he might readily have recovered. In this work, physical terms are purposely avoided, that it may be understood by every reader; being calculated to shew the Danger of particular Diseases in their first Attack; in what Cases it is necessary to call in Advice, and in certain Situations what Hopes there are of Recovery. Carefully collected fro the best medical authors, and systematically arranged, with the Authorities, by J. A. M.D. and F.R.S.
