Philosophy of Osteopathy

by Andrew Taylor Still

This early work on Osteopathy was originally published in 1899. It is a fascinating read for any alternative therapist or historian of medicine, but also contains much information that is still useful and practical today. Contents Include: Some Introductory Remarks; Osteopathic Explorations; The Head; Ear Wax and Its Uses; Diseases of the Chest; The Lymphatics; The Diaphragm; Liver, Bowels and Kidneys; The Blood; The Fascia; Fevers; Scarlet Fever and Smallpox; A Chapter of Wonders and Some Valuable Questions; Has Man Degenerated?; Osteopathic Treatment; Reasoning Tests; Obstetrics; Convulsions; Concluding Remarks; The Superior Cervical Ganglion.Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

[John Yelverton · Rating 1 out of 5]

I will never hear the word "pseudo-science" ever again without thinking of this book. It was just a bunch of gobbledygook hidden under a bunch of multisyllabic words so the reader would think it's impressive when it's anything but the sort. It was full of demonstrable medical errors, and was a complete waste of time to read.
