With over 3 million copies in print in over 50 languages, using simple language and hundreds of drawings, the book provides information about recognising, treating and preventing common illnesses and injuries. This book is far more than simple first aid information. It covers a wide range of subjects that affect the health of the villager - from diarrhoea to tuberculosis, from helpful and helpful and harmful home remedies to the cautious use of certain modern medicines. This revised edition contains 508 pages of useful health and medical information that can save your life, whether you live on the continent of Africa or the outback in Australia. It is well worth having in case you are stuck in a situation where there is no doctor.
