Light tone, light soil, light wear. Solid hardcover. ; Homeopathic Brooklyn doctor's treatise on Hay Fever. "Considering the wide-spread prevalence of hay fever,and the large number of individuals afflicted with it, we cannot but marvel that there has been, comparatively, so little written upon the subject. In fact, it has been severely let alone by the profession who seem to prefer to treat their cases as they come along, in a haphazard sort of way, chiefly with palliatives, and they are largely assisted by luck and wise and beneficent mother nature, who always does her best for the patient's cure. When the matter becomes too troublesome these practicioners avail themselves of their usual prerogative of prescribing a sojourn at some resort frequented by this class of sufferers. ... Actuated by such a condition of affairs, the writer ventures to enter upon this comparatively untrodden path, hoping that what he may put forth upon this subject will be of some value, and by no means regarded as a futile attempt to enlarge its exceedingly meagre extent in the field of literature." - Preface.
