The listing, Better Homes and Gardens "Family Medical Guide" has ended.
This is just the best book! It's large and hardcover that did not come with a dust jacket. The front and back covers are of good quality and the book itself is like new. It has 816 pages plus a thorough index. The table of contents lists: Home Care of the Patient; Infectious Diseases; The Heart & Circulatory System; Blood Forming Organs & Their Disorders; The Skin & Its Disorders; The Lungs & Chest in Health & Disease; The Nervous System; Kidney's & Genito-Urinary Tract; The Endocrine Glands; Pregnancy & Childbirth; Infant & Child Care; Special Concerns of Women; The Digestive System; Nutrition; The Teeth & Their Care; The Eyes; Ears, Nose & Throat; Bones & Muscles & Their Disorders; Arthritis & Rheumatism; Allergies & Hypersensitivity; Emotional & Mental Illnesses; Your Operation; X-Rays & You; Laboratory Tests; First Aid & Your Family. Whew! A ton of very good information in a very well-organized book, though it was published in 1972 so I don't think it should be one's only comprehensive medical book but an adjunct to a relatively newer book, the reason being that this book is probably more complete than most and of virtually no cost, while good medical guides are quite expensive. Enjoy! (After mailing about 20 books this month, I'm broke, eeeeeekkkk! I will be able to mail this book on June 1st, possibly sooner.)
