Discourses On Practical Physic is a book written by Benjamin Ward Richardson and published in 1871. The book is a collection of lectures given by the author on various topics related to practical medicine, including the principles of diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases. The lectures are organized into chapters, each focusing on a specific disease or medical condition, such as fever, tuberculosis, and heart disease. Throughout the book, Richardson emphasizes the importance of a holistic approach to medicine, taking into account not only the physical symptoms of a patient but also their mental and emotional well-being. He also stresses the importance of preventative measures, such as maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle, in order to avoid illness altogether. The language used in the book is technical and scientific, but the author makes an effort to explain complex medical concepts in a way that is accessible to a general audience. The book is a valuable resource for medical professionals, students, and anyone interested in the history of medicine and the development of medical practices in the 19th century.1.
