mate Relations of Men and Women,
The title. Esoteric Anthropology, will
seem strange to many, but it is thoroughly
appropriate. Anthropology is from Anthr9-
pos. man, and L0goS, 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. ESOteric Anthro-
pology is, therefore, private treatise on
Human Anatomy, Physiology, Therapeutics
| and Obstetrics-on the whole science of
man-plain in language, foil 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-
vidual and social application; the true na-
ture and hidden cause of Disease; the con-
dtions 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 dscOrd-
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 10 which a terrible Igno-
rance every where prevails; an ignorance
which is destroying the heaIths, shortening
the lives, and sacrificing the happiness OF
milliOns-which threatens the power OF ma
tons, and the perpetuily OF races.
Professional works on Physiology are dry,
mechanical, or chemical, astonishingly lg
norant, 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
basey meccenary in their motives. In most
cases these books are the advertising medl-
um of some speciouS Charatan, who wans
patients, or letters of consultation, or who
has some instrument to sell, or some most
rum to palm of 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
| n in 10 by Of
J hawked by agents or peddlcrs. The author
Of Esoteric AnthroPology, Teacher,
r 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 a work for the public, or
= one open 10 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
hereoiO te10, who are brave enough 10 exa-
mine and accept new truths, and wise g
nough to profit by them. There can scar
: Cely be any important question, which any
man or woman can ever need TO ask ply
SlClan, to which this volume does not CON
. tain an answer. 1t is so complete III this
2 respect, that the author hopes and believes
that no one who reads 1t will ever need to
trouble himself with professional cOnsulta-
r ton. 1T is henceiOrth his chosen method Of
medical instruction and practice, and in il
e he has performed the duty he owes man
s kind as healer Of the sick preserveI Of
health, and teacher of the Laws OF Life.
