Sinopsis
Excerpt from Dr. Foote's Home Cyclopedia of Popular Medical, Social and Sexual Science: Embracing His New Book on Health and Disease, With Recipes, Treating of the Human System, Hygiene and Sanitation, Causes, Prevention, Cure, and Home Treatment of Chronic Diseases
My object in preparing this work is to supply a desideratum which has long existed, Le a medical work, reviewing first causes as well as facts and ultimate effects, written in language strictly mundane, and comprehensible alike to the -lowly inmate of a basement and the exquisite student of an attic studio; and if successful in fulfilling the promise of the title-page, I have too much confidence in the intelligence of the masses and the erudition of the unprejudiced scholar to believe that it will be received with unappreciation or indifference. Many of the theories which these pages will advance are certainly new and antagonistic to those popularly entertained, but it does not follow that they are incorrect or un worthy the consideration of the philosophical and physiological inquirer. They are founded upon careful observation, experiment, and extensive medical practice. And if the truth of the theories may be judged by the success of the latter, then do they unmistakably possess soundness as well as originality. For living monu ments to the skill and success of the author have been and are being daily raised from beds of sickness and debility in every part of the world. If these remarks sound boastful, be not less ready to pardon the conceit of a successful physician than that of a victorious soldier. The successful military chieftain is notoriously conceiwd is it not as honorable and elevating to save life as to destroy it i If a man may boast that he has slain hundreds, cannot his egotism be indulged if he has saved the lives of thousands i I shall claim the soldier's prerogative, for when medical charlatans of every street-comer are blowing their trumpets, it does not behoove the successful physician to nurse his modesty. What I write, however, shall be written in candor, and with an honest intention of enlightening and ben efiting humanity.

Excerpt from Dr. Foote's Home Cyclopedia of Popular Medical, Social and Sexual Science: Embracing His New Book on Health and Disease, With Recipes, Treating of the Human System, Hygiene and Sanitation, Causes, Prevention, Cure, and Home Treatment of Chronic Diseases
After the lapse of more than a quarter of a century, with a third and fourth revision, this new book, printed on fresh electrotype plates, appears with three hundred and thirty-one illustrations. Many of them entirely new, eight additional colored plates, 0 copious Index, and not less than five hundred pages of new matter, which could not have found place in this already bulky volume, had it not been put in smaller type. It is a remarkable fact that Plain Home Talk was so far in advance of the times when published (some said fifty years) thatitisnot now necessary to write it up to date. It has been like a per petual almanac from the moment it was first issued. A correspondent, a well known horticulturist of Michigan, recently wrote: Is Dr. Foote, the one who wrote 'plain Home Talk,' still living f Does he know that many of his notions and sociological deductions have become popularized since 1857 - sinoe 1870 f Little that is new can be added; but many of the reforms advocated in the volume have been accomplished, and the essays devoted to them can be made conformable to the changes which have taken place. It can be freshened up a little with new dates and with observations on some of the remarkable advances in the domain of hygiene and medicine. A step still in advance of the times can be taken here and there, and it has been taken, as the reader will see.
