Tissot wrote for the villager far from any physician, cataloguing the common maladies of ordinary people and their most usual causes. His hugely popular manual carried practical eighteenth-century medicine into farmhouses across Europe. A landmark of popular health writing, valued now as history of medicine and everyday life. Consult the book that once stood in for the doctor.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
