The Illustrated Family Doctor
By A General Practitioner
Published by Home Entertainment Library: Great Britain 1935

"The Illustrated Family Doctor, written anonymously by A General Practitioner and published by the Home Entertainment Library in Great Britain in 1935, is a detailed household medical guide designed to provide practical health advice at a time when access to doctors was limited or costly. Richly illustrated with anatomical drawings, charts, and diagrams, it explains the structure and functions of the human body, the symptoms and treatment of common ailments, and the basic principles of hygiene, diet, and first aid. The tone is reassuring and educational, reflecting early 20th-century medical understanding and a focus on prevention, cleanliness, and self-care.

Beyond its practical purpose, the book stands as a fascinating window into pre-war domestic medicine, showing how families managed health before modern pharmaceuticals and the NHS. It will appeal to collectors of vintage medical texts, social historians studying early 20th-century health practices, and readers interested in the evolution of everyday medicine and public health education."
