1866. Trall writes in the Preface that: The public has too long ignored as indelicate, or as too intricate and mysterious to be comprehended except by those who are educated in all the branches of the medical profession, the subjects which lie at the very foundation of their earthly well-being; while the medical profession has wrapped its knowledge, vague and unsatisfactory as it is, in so many folds of technicalities, that the nonprofessional readers find little except confusion worse confounded in the standard works.
