(Samuel Auguste David) Tissot is a handbook written in the 1700s that wants to help regular folks, especially those in the countryside, take better care of themselves. Aimed at those who might not have a doctor nearby, the book gives simple and useful advice for dealing with ordinary health problems. It's all about using natural ways to stay healthy. The book starts off by saying its main goal is to help people in the country get healthier by giving them easy-to-understand medical tips.
