prehensive and confidential Treatise on the
Structure, Functions, Passional Attractions
and Perversions, True and False Physical
nd Social Conditions, and the most init
mate Relations OF Men and Women,
The title. Eso,eric Anthropology, will
seem strange to many, but it is thoroughly
appropriate. Anthtopology is from Anttr0-
pos. a man, and LegoS, description. ESQ
leTlc, 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 of
science and philosophy, TO their chosen dis
ciples, from their Er0terlc discourses, which
were given TO the public. ESotertc Anthro-
polOgy is, therefore, private treatise on
Human Anatomy, Physiology, Therapeutics
aud Obstelrics-on the whole science OF
man-plain in language, iull and faithful in
illustration, and written with all the frank
hess OF private letter, under the seal of
professional confidence. IL contains the
highest and deepest truths in every DEPART
menl OF Human Physiology, with their indi-
vidual and social application; the true ma
ture and hidden cause of Disease; the con-
diIlons of Health. physical and passiona;
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 deprayiles 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 terrible igno-
rance every where prevails; an ignorance
which Is destroying the healths, shortening
the lives, and sacrificing the happiness OF
mlllions-which threatens the power OF ma
tons, and The perpetuiiy of races.
Professional works on Physiology are dry,
mechanical, or chemical, astonishinely ig-
nordni, as well as Technically Incompetent
sible. The popular works are superficial,
meager, and necessarily waning in the
most important matters. The quack books
are full of errors, false in science, absurd
in philosophy, misCheirous in morals, and
baseiy meccenary in their motives. In most
cases these books are the advertising medi- /
um of some specious charlaian, who wants .
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 oil a different book .
from any of these-such a book as has never
II
ed in tie usual way, sold by booksellers, of
hawked by agents or peddlers. The author
of EsoterIc Anlhropology, a Teacher, a
public and private Lecturer on
all branches of Medical Science, has writ
len this book with a frankness he never
rould 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 il is for the noble and
lereoio telc, who are brave enough 10 exa-
mine and accept new truths, and wise E.
lOUgh TO profit by them. There can scar
,ely be any important question, which any
nan or woman can ever need to-ask ply
;iclan, to which this volume does not con- ;
ain an answer. Ii is SO complete in this {
esyeci, that the author hopes and believes
hat no one who reads il will ever need 10
Touble himself with professional consulla-
ion. 1t is henceforIh his chosen method Of
medical instruction and practice, and in it
Ie has performed The duty he owes man t
lind as a healer Of the sick, preserVer of Z
leaiih, and teacher of the Laws of Life. >
