Rademacher’s Universal and Organ Remedies

What tidings does this little work bring to the medical world? Does it bring forth any new truths, calculated to benefit those who shall read it? The author, Johann Gottfried Rademacher, who was born in 1772, and died in 1850, practiced the medical art in the little town of Goch, in the northwestern part of Germany, during the first half of the XIXth century. He was an observing man, who in 1841 gave in plain, simple language the results of this ripe experience for the advancement of medicine, especially of therapeutics. His work, of which four editions were published, was written in German, appearing in two large volumes of over 800 pages each, from which the following abridged translation has been made.
