preheusve and confidential Treatise on the
Structure, Functions, PasSonal Attractions
and Perversions, True and False Physical
nd Social Conditions, and the most init
mate Relations Of Men and Women,
The title, Esoteric hnthropology, will
seem strange 10 many, but it IS thoroughly
appropriate. Anthropology is from Aathr9-
! pos. man, and Lagos, cription. ESQ
| ieric, 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 Er0teric dscourses which
were given to the public. ESotersc Anthro
policy is, therefore, private treatise on
Human Anatomy, Physiology, Therapeutics
and ObSte1rics--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 indi
vidual and social applications; the true ma
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, hut 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 terrible igno-
rance every where prevails; an ignorance
which is destroying the healths, shortening
lhe lives, and sacrificing the happiness Of
miiiOns-which threatens the power Of ma
tons, and the perpetui1y Of races.
Professional works on Physiology are dry,
mechanical, or CHEMICAL, astonishingIy ig
norant, as well as technically incomprehen-
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, misCheivous in morals, and
base Y meccenary in their motives. In most
cases these books are the advertising medi
um OF some speClouS 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 these-such a book as has never
been written, and as cannot now be publish
ed in the usual way, sold by booksellers, OF
aawked by agents or peddlerS. The author
Of Esoteric Anthropology, a Teacher, a |
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 and women, |
who wish TO understand the deepest mystic
ries Of life; especially il is for the noble and |
lereOlO fer, who are brave enough to exa-
nine and accept new truths, and wise e.
1ough to profit by them. There can scar
ely be any important question, which any |
nan or woman can ever need TO ask a ply
;iCian, TO which this volume does not con-
ain an answer. 1t is so complete in this
aspect, that the author hopes and believes
hat no one who reads it will ever need TO
rOubie himself with a professional ConSulta-
ion. 1t is henCeiorth his chosen method of
medical instruction and practice, and in il
le has performed the duty he owes man.
