Excerpt from An Improved System of Botanic Medicine, Vol. 2: Founded Upon Correct Physiological Principles; Embracing a Concise View of Anatomy and Physiology; Together With an Illustration of the New Theory of Medicine
And these general remedies are so systematically and har moniously adapted to each other, and to the human body; and their principles and modes of administration so simplified, that any family possessing an ordinary share of common sense, may become their own physician in almost all' cases of disease. We very well know that this doctrine is contrary to the com mon ideas of people in general, and of the medical F aculty in particular; but it has been verified, especially of late years, on a very extensive scale, and also has the countenance of some of the best men who have ever adorned the science of medi cine. John howard, the celebrated English philanthropist, said that every man must be his own physician; he must pre scribe for, and practice on himself. And Dr. Rush, whose be nevolence was of the same enlightened and liberal cast with john howard's, recommends the general diffusion of medical knowledge, by an academical education: for the essential prin' ciples of medicine, says he, are very few, and plain. All the morbid effects, continues he, of heat and cold, of eating and drinking, and the exercises (f the body and mind, may be taught with as much ease asxthe multiplication table.
These are the sentiments of meneminent for their philan thropy and scientific attainments; and the extraordinary suc cess attending the botanical practice, in the hands of families, abundantly confirms their correctness. We boldly challenge the world for any instances of success, in the old schools' of medicine, equal to that which has attended the Botanical prac tice in the hands of the people themselves. And to this end are we laboring to take the practice of medicine out of ~the hands of the physicians, and place it where it ought to be; in short, to produce a new and correct order of things, as Dr. Rush also says, when the knowledge and use of medicine, by the people, shall be considered amongst the most essential articles and rights of man.

Excerpt from An Improved System of Botanic Medicine, Vol. 2: Founded Upon Correct Physiological Principles; Embracing a Concise View of Anatomy and Physiology; Together With an Illustration of the New Theory of Medicine
The reader will have perceived, that in the first volume we have devoted ourselves exclusively to an illustration of the general principles of life, of disease, and method of cure. And it will not be at all surprising, if an attentive reader should find some parts too superficially, whilst others may be too obscurely, too loosely, or too unconnectedly treated. We say it will not be surprising, because it is not only the first work attempted of the kind, but many parts of it were hastily written and committed to the press without the opportunity of maturing it by reflection, which is so essentially necessary in a work embracing so many new views, and so wide a range. True, we dwelt long upon but a few of the particular subjects treated of under their proper heads, because brevity seemed more necessary than a great display of words. We trust, however, that the careful reader will readily understand the important principles that we have laid down, upon which the healing art is based, and on which medicines must act in the restoration of health.
In treating of Disease, we shall also endeavor to be concise but comprehensive; and confine ourselves generally to those complaints which are most common or peculiar. The reader, if he has perused the first volume, has no doubt perceived that we disregard all the various and contradictory systems of nosology which have been offered to the world, and which we confidently assert have had no better effect, than to amuse the speculative mind, without, in any degree, improving the healing art. We believe with Dr. Rush, that disease is an unit; or, in other words, that all disease arise from one general cause, and, hence, may be cured, if curable, by one general remedy or remedies.
