ABOUT THE BOOK
Over 150 common healthcare problems and symptoms-likely causes and how you might relieve them at home. Diagrams to help you recognize problems and, in many cases, treat them quickly and easily. Easy-to-follow decision charts tell you exactly when to see a doctor.
"The 1986 version of Take Care of Yourself has been the mainstay of our home medical library for 20 years. I purchased this "latest edition" assuming that the book had been improved, but it's not the same book. This is a standard paperback and as admittted in the forward has been shortened from the original. It sure has. We spot checked a few places and found it very lacking. For example "Croup" would seem like an important subject for a home medical guide. The original version had an excellent section which I'm sure has helped many an anxious parent the first time they were faced with a child with croup at 2 am. The new book doesn't even address it. Copies of the Eighth Edition of several years ago are still available. That is the version to own."

"I have used this book for the last 20 years. It's a great comfort to know what to do when trouble hits. Their advice is right on target. I can usually get well on my own, with their suggestions, but they also tell me when to see a doctor. I'm getting their latest edition merely to update the book. It's priceless."
