DRINClPAL ofthe American Dydropath-
l. 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 Perversions, True and False Physical
nd 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 Anttr0-
pos man, and L0g0S, description. ESQ
terc, 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
cples, from their EaOterac dscourses which
were given to the public. ESotersc Anthro-
pology is, therefore, a private treatise on
Human Anatomy, Physiology. Therapeutics
and Obstetrics-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 application; the true ma
ture and hidden cause Of Disease; the con-
dtions 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 discord
ances and deprayties 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 10 man and
the race, in regard to which terrible igno-
rance every where prevails; an ignorance
which is destroying the healths, shortening
the lives, and sacrificing the happiness OF
millions-whch threatens the power of ma
tons, and the perpetuity of races.
Professional works on Physiology are dry,
mechanical, or chemical, astonishingly ig-
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
basel y meccenary in their motives. In most
cases these books are the advertising medi.
um OF some sPecions 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.
H. L i
from any of these-such book as has never
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 Esoteric Anthropology, a 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 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 it is for the noble and
hereoio feaO, who are brave enough to exa-
mine and accept new truths, and wise e.
nough to profit by them. There can scar.
cely be any important question, which any
man or woman can ever need to ask a ply |
scian, 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 it will ever need 10 |
trouble himself with professional consulta- !
ton. 1t is henceforth his chosen method ofl
medical instruction and practice, and in it |
he has performed the duty he owes man. |
