ESOTEgsEC ANTE2ROPOLOGY,
BY T. L. NICHOLS, NJ. d.
Z PRINCIPAL Of the American Dydropath-
L ic Institute, Educational and Thera
peutcal. at Portchester, n. Y, one hours
distance from New York city on the New
York and New Haven Railroad. A COM
prehensiye and confidential Treatise on the
Structure, Functions, Passional Attractions
and Perversons. True and False Physical
nd Social Conditions, and the most init
mate Relations of Men and Women,
The title. Esoteric Anihropology, will
seem strange to many, but it is thoroughly
appropriate. Anthropology is from Anthr9-
pos a man, and LogoS, a description. ESQ
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 Of
science and philosophy, TO their chosen dis
ciples, from their ErOteric discourses, which
were given TO the public. ESotertc Anthro-
pology is, therefore, a private treatise on
Human Anatomy, Physiology, Therapeutics
and Obstetrcs-on the whole science OF
man-pain 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 HumanPhysiology, with their indi-
vidUal and social application; the true ma
tuEe 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 deprayites 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-
tance every where prevails; an ignorance
which is destroying the healths, shortening
the lives, and sacrificing the happiness OF
mllions-which threatens the power Of ma
tons, and the perpetuity of races.
Proiessionalworks on Physiology are dry,
mechanical, or chemical, astonishingly 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, mischeivous 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 these-such book as has neyer
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 Esoterlc Anthropology, Teacher, a.
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 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 telC, 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
