There are no illustrations. Dr. Martin Freligh was a successful medical doctor, trained in New York and eventually practiced homeopathic medicine in New York City. From an online partial bio that was penned prior to his death in 1889: :In 1851, he removed to the city of New York, where he commenced the practice of homœopathy by himself, and continued it up to 1863, when he relinquished most of the details of the practice to his son and only child, Dr. Edwin G. Freligh, a young man well qualified and evidently intending to follow in his father's footsteps. From that time he has confined himself more especially to organic diseases, consultations and visiting at distances. His practice has been, and is at the present time, large and not confined to the city ; he is consulted from almost every part of the United States, and frequently from parties in Europe, and is called to places hundreds of miles distant for consultation or actual treatment, at a-very considerable expense to his patients, who consider that they receive a full quid pro quo for the amounts paid him as fees, and in many instances making him valuable presents besides... ... His literary labors have been considerable ; among them may be mentioned a Monograph on "The Toxicological Properties of Lead and its Various Compounds," a "Treatise on Epilepsy," a critical review of "Armstrong's Third Division of Scarlatina Maligna," The Pathology and Cure of Consumption," "Freligh's Homœopathic Practice," which has reached the thirteenth edition ; "Homœopatia Familiar," in Spanish ; the "Homœopathic Pocket Companion," "Freligh's Compilation of the Homœopathic Materia Medica," and many articles on the proving of drugs, such as the "Apocynum Cannabinum," "Cannabis Indica," "Mercury, a Solvent to the Living Solids ;" also, "Amenorrhœa and its Effects upon the Female Economy," some of which have appeared in the medical journals and recent Materia Medicas. He has now nearly ready for the press a voluminous work upon "Organic Chemistry, Physiological Chemistry, and the Chemistry of Man," in which he argues with marked ability that a thorough knowledge of these branches is the only sure foundation upon which to rear a successful therapeutic, and that without it the practice of medicine is but little better than the blind chances of empirical experiment."
