Note 87 — PEPTIC PRECEPTS.
Reading edition
“A Fool, or a Physician at Forty, is an adage containing more truth than is commonly believed.—He who has not by that time learned to observe the causes of self-disorder—shows little signs of wisdom; and He who has carefully noted the things which create disorder in himself, must by his own experience possess much knowledge, that a Physician at a pop visit ought not to pretend to.”—Domestic Management, 1813, p. xxxvi.
