DRINC1PAL ofthe American Dydropath-
ic Institute, Educational and Thera-
peutical, at Portchester, n. Y, one hours
| distance from New York city on the New
York and New Haven Railroad. A COM
prehensive and confidential Treatise on the
Structure, Functions, Passional Attractions
and Peryersions, True and False Physical
md Social Conditions, and the most intl-
mate Relations of Men and Women,
The title, Esoteric Anthropology, will
seem strange to many, but it is thoroughly
appropriate. AnthrOpology is from Anthr2-
pos a man, and LOg0S, a description. ESQ
teIic, 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 EToteric discourses, which
were given 10 the public. ESOterlc Anlhro-
pology is, therefore, private treatise on
| Human Anatomy, Physiology, Therapeutics
and Obstetrics-on the whole science of
man-plain in language, full and faithful ia
| ILLUSTRATION, and written with all the frank
ness OF private letter, under the seal Of
|
highest and deepest truths in every depart
ment Of Human Physiology, with their indi-
yidual and social application; the trne ma
ture and hidden cause of Disease the con-
dtions Of Health, physical and passionalr
all that information which every human be-
Ing needs, which few dare ask for, or know
low TO obtain, but which, amid the dIscord-
,ances and deprayilics Of civilization, is Of
EpriCeless value.
There are many subjects connected with
the broad science of Human Life, of the
deepest and most vital interest 10 man and
jhe race, in regard 10 which a terrible igno-
lance every where prevails; an ignorance
which is destroying the healths, shortening
the lives, and sacrificing the happiness of
mliions-which threatens the power Of Ea-
tons, and the perpetulty OF races.
Professional works on Physiology are dry,
mechanical, or chemical, astonshngly ig
norant, as well as technically Incompetent
sibe. 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
basely 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 different book
from any of lheSe-SuCh book as has never
been written, and as cannot GOT be publish
ed in the usual way, sold by booksellers, of
nawked by agents or peddlers. The author
Iof Esoterlc Authr0pOlOgy, a Teacher, a
| Physician, public and priva!s Lecturer on
all branches of Medical Science, has writ
ten this book with a frankness he never
could have used in a work for tie public, or
one open TO criticism. II 10 for his pupils

who wish 10 understand The deepest mystic
rieS of life; especially it is for the noble and
/ hereoiO tejC, who are brave enough TO ex8-
miue and accept new truths, and wise o.
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 il will ever need TO
trouble himself with a professional cousulta-
ton. 1t is hsnCefOrh his chosen method u}
medical instruction and practice, and in IL
| he has performed The duty Se owes man
