A Manual Of Domestic Medicine & Surgery With A Glossary Of The Terms Used Therein.
By J.H. Walsh
Illustrated by Numerous Engravings
Published by Geo. Routledge & Co: London 1858

" A Manual of Domestic Medicine & Surgery with a Glossary of the Terms Used Therein by J.H. Walsh is a practical guide aimed at educating the general public on how to manage common medical and surgical issues within the home. Written in the 19th century, the book provides straightforward instructions for treating everyday ailments, injuries, and emergencies, such as fevers, wounds, fractures, and digestive troubles. It emphasizes the importance of hygiene, early intervention, and simple remedies, offering advice that was particularly useful at a time when access to professional medical care could be limited or delayed.

Walsh also includes a comprehensive glossary of medical terms, making the work more accessible to readers without formal medical training. This glossary, combined with clear explanations and illustrative examples, reflects the author's intent to empower laypersons with the knowledge to respond effectively to health issues in domestic settings. The manual not only served as a household reference but also contributed to a broader movement of public health education in Victorian society, promoting informed self-care and responsible management of medical concerns at home."
