IprehensiSe and confidential Treatise on The

and Peryersions, True and False Physicai
nd Social Conditions, and the most init,
mate Relations of Men and Women.
The title, Esoteric Anthropolopy. will
seem strange TO many, but it is ihorouoblv
appropriate. AnthropolOgy is from Anfbro.
pos. man, and LOgOS, description. ESQ
teric, from ESQ, within, signifies private 60
cret, interior, and was used by the ancien,
philosophers to distinguish their private
lectures, given in the interiors of their
dwellings, upon the sacred mysteries of
science and philosophy, to their chosen dis
ciples, from their ErOteric discourses which
were given to the public. EsOterlc Anthro
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 a private letter, under the seal Of
professional confidence. II contains the
highest and deepest truths in every depart
ment Of Human Physiology, with their indi
vidual and social application; the trne ma
ture and hidden cause of Disease; the con.
ditions Of Health, physical and passio nal.
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 deprayities 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 to man and
the race, in regard to which a terrible igno-
rance every where prevails; an ignorance
which is destroying the healths, shortening
the lives, and sacrificing the happiness ot
millons-which threatens the power Of ma
tons, and the perpetuily Of races.
Professional works on Physiology are drT,
mechanical, or chemical, astonishingy Ig-
norant as we'll as technically Incompetent
sible. 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, mISChelyous in morals, and
baseiy mecCenary in their motives. In most
cases these books are the advertising med-
um Of some specions charlatan, who wants
patients, or letters Of consultation, or who
has some instrument TO SELL or some noS.-
rum to palm off upon the credulous.
The world has need Of different book
from any of these-such book as has never
been written, and as cannot now be publish
ed in the usual way, sold by booksellers, Of
hawked by agents or peddlers. The author
of Esoteric Anthropology, a Teacher,
Physician, public and private Lecturer on
all branches of Medical Science, has writ
ten this book with a franknesS 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 aud women,
who wish TO understand the deepest mysie-
RES of life; especially it is for the noble am
hereoio telU, 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 TO 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 To
trouble himself with professional consuIIa-
ton. 1t is henceforth his chosen method OF
medical instruction and practice, aud 10 Il
he has performed the duty he owes man
kind as healer of the sick, preserEer D.
health, and a teacher of the Laws OF Lie.
Among the subjects treated of in this
work. are the following: Man, and his Ge.a-
tions to the Spiritual and Material Universe
Human An atOmy; the Chemistry of Man.
Principles Of Physiology and the Active
Forces of Nature; The Three Groups Of
Functions, Organic, Animal, and Genera
