Just like ‘The Johns Hopkins Complete Home Guide to Pills and Medicines’, this book is a home guide, but this time about symptoms and remedies of the human body.

It once more starts with a 'How to use this book' explanation and afterwards explores all the symptoms one might experinve , sorted from A-Z. The columns of each symptom is 1. Associated symptoms (if applicable), possible diagnosis and distinguishing features.

After one found their symptoms, the next section is 'Disorders', which were found in the 'possible diagnosis' column from the previous chapter. It offers more details, for example it's definition, risk factors, causes prevention tips, diagnostic tests, etc.

Lastly, there is an index where one find a certain symptom and/or disorder faster.

There is no false information, everything is well sorted and it's just generally really helpful. I have no complaints about this book, it provided every necessary information and help.
