If the object of my previous publications was mainly to serve my brethren of the Medical Profession by strengthening their hands in their sacred duties of combating disease and alleviating the suffering of the countless millions entrusted to their care, the aim and object of this little volume is to serve not only the professional medical men in India but also the non-professional educated public in general; and this object is sought to be attained by rendering the book useful to both these classes in the following ways.
1: To the Medical and Drugs Profession.
A- By introducing to them the therapeutical properties of the numerous remedial drugs and agents of indigenous origin, and thus awakening an interest for their further study, research and application for helping the poorer classes of their patients by using cheaper and equally, if not more, eflicacious native remedies in the treatment of diseases in preference to their costly foreige substitutes.
B- By placing before then the value and composition of several dietetic articles, such as fruits, grains, vegetables, etc., there by helping them in prescribing diets more accurately and suitably to their patients who are naturally accustomed to native foods rather than foreign ones.
D - By enabling them, with the help of their knowledge of the Indian drugs as well as of the various Ayurvedic preparations described in the book, to better diagnose and treat the conditions of patients who come under their care after under-going a previous course of treatment by kavirajees, pundits, vaidyans, and hakims.
2- To the Educated Public in general interest:
A - By initiating them into a knowledge of the medicinal uses and applications of indigenous drugs and remedies pro-curable at a nominal price in all Indian bazaars, or at the mere cost of collection from the road-sides or gardens in immediate neighborhood, where by they can help themselves in cases of very minor complaints, or in cases where efficient medical aid is unattainable, and thus relieve many a pain and suffering and, perhaps even, save a valuable life.
B- By placing before them the nature, composition and preparation of several select remedies belonging to the Ancient Ayurvidic system whose merits and benefits, in chronic cases, are already well known throughout the country.
C-By enabling them to find out by themselves the medical and hygienic effect of numerous fruits, foods and vegetable in common use in order to regulate their own diet according to the needs of their conditions.
