teric, from ESQ, within, signifies private, sc
cret, interior, and was used by the ancient
philosophers to distinguish their private
lectures, given in the interiors of their
| dwellings, upon the sacred mysteries oil
science and philosophy, to their chosen dis,
ciples, from their E1Otertc discourses, which
were given to the public. Esotersc Anihro-
pology is, therefore, private treatise on
Human Anatomy, Physiology, Therapeutics
and Obstetrics-on the whole science OF
man-plain in language, full and faithful in
illustration, and written with all the frank
ness Of private letter, under the seal OF
professional confidence. 1t contains the
highest and deepest truths in every depart
ment of Human Physiology, with their ind
vidual and social application; the true na-
ture and hidden cause Of Disease; the con
ditions Of Health, physical and passional;
all that information which every human be
ing needs, which few dare ask for, or know
how 10 obtain, but which, amid the discord
ances and deprayifes Of civilization, is Of
priceless value.
There are many subjects connected with
the broad science of Human Life, of the
deepest and most vital interest 10 man and
the race, in regard to which terrible igno-
rance every where prevails; an ignorance
which is destroying the healths, shortening
the lives, and sacrificing the happiness Of
milions-whch threatens the power of ma
tons, and the perpetuiiy Of races.
Professional works on Physiology are dry,
mechanical, or chemical, asionshingly ig-
norant, as we'll as technically Incompetent
sble. The popular works are superficial,
meager, and necessarily wanting in the
most important matters. The quack books
are full of errors, false in science, absurd
in philosophy, mischeiyous in morals, and
basey meccenary in their motives. In most
cases these books are the advertising medi-
um OF some specious charlatan, who wants
patients, or letters OF consultation, or who
has some instrument to sell, or some most
rum to palm off upon the credulous
The world has need Of a different book
from any of these-such book as has neser
been written, and as cannot nowbe publish
ed in the usual way, sold by booksellers, OF
hawked by agents or peddlers. The author
of Esoterc Anthropology, Teacher, a
Physician, public and private Lecturer on
all branches of Medical Science, has writ
ten this book with a lrankneSs he never
could have used in a work for the public, or
one open to criticism. 1t is for his pupils
and patients, for Intelligent men and women,
who wish to understand the deepest myste-
ries of life; especially it is for the noble and
hereoio feac, who are brave enough 10 exa-
mine and accept new truths, and wise e.
nough to profit by them. There can scar
cely be any important question, which any
man or woman can ever need 10 ask ply
sician, TO which this volume does not con-
tain an answer 1t is so complete in this
respect, that the author hopes and believes
that no one who reads it will ever need 10
