DRlNCIPALo L ofthe American Dydropath-
IL c 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 CON-
prehensive and confidential Treatise on the
Structure, Functions, Passional Attractions
and Peryersions, True and False Physical
end Social Conditions, and the most init
mate Relations of Men and Women,
The title, Esoterc Anthropology, will
seem strange to many, but it is thoroughly
appropriate. AnthropOlogy is from Aathr9-
pos. man, and LogOS, 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. ESOter1c Anlhro-
Polo9y IS, therefore, private treatise on
Human Anatomy, Physiology, Therapeutics
and ObStetrcs-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. IL contains the
highest and deepest truths in every depart
ment Of Human Physiology, with their indi-
yidua and social application; The trne ma
ture and hidden cause of Disease; the con-
ditons 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 dlscord-
ances and Geprayities of civilization, is ui
priceless value.
There are many subjects connected with
the broad science Of Human Life, OF the
deepest and most vital interest 10 man and
the race, in regard to which terrible igno-
rance every where prevails; an ignorance
which is destroying the heaIihs, shortening
the lives, and sacrificing the happiness OF
millions-which threatens the power oil ma
tons, and the perpetuiIy OF races.
Professional works on Physiology are dry,
mechanical or chemical, astonlshIngy lg-
nordnl, as well 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 a different book
from any of these-such book as has never
been written, and as cannot now be publish
Ell in the usual way, sold by booksellers, Of
hawked by agents or peddlers. The author
Of Esoterlc AnthrOpOlogy, Teacher,
Physician, public and private Lecturer or
all branches of Medical Science, has writ
ten this book with a franknesS he never
could have used ~ a work for the public, or
one open to criticism. 1t is tor his pupils
and patients, for intelligent men and"omen,
who wish to understand the deepest uYsle-
rIes Of life: especially it's tor The noble and
hereoio fer, who are brave enough 10 eXa-
mine and accept new truths, and wise E
uouoh 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 III this
respect, that the author hopes and beheves
trouble himself with professional cOnsuila-
tion. 1t is henceforlh his chosen method OF
medical instruction and practice, and IN i
he has performed the duty he owes man
kind as a healer Of the sick, a preServeG OF
health, and teacher OF the Laws OF Lie.

work. are the following: Man, and his reia-
