2013 Reprint of 1932 Edition. Exact facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. Color reproduction of Frontispiece. George Washington Carey (1845-1924) was an American physician known for a number of 1910s 'Chemistry of Life' publications, a subject which he referred to as biochemistry, particularly his 1919 "The Chemistry of Human Life." Carey combined a mixture of religion, astrology, physiology, anatomy, and chemistry, themed particularly with a mineral-based theory of human disease, to develop his theories. Carey is popular among the new-age and homeopathic circles. In the context of a person viewed as a "human molecule," Carey was the first to state that a person's body is a "chemical formula in operation." This title is divided into two parts. Part 1 is entitled the "Relation of the Mineral Salts of the Body to the Signs of the Zodiac," while Part 2 is an "Esoteric Analysis and Synthesis of the Zodiacal Signs and their Physiochemical Allocations." With the renewed interest in homeopathy, increased study of astrology and the entrance of the Aquarian Age, this book has gained more importance. It is an attempt to answer all the questions regarding the cell salts. Part 1 is a brief and concise outline of the 12 signs of the zodiac, their symbolism and the salts to be used to overcome any disease. Part 2 enlarges on Part 1 by discussing the physiochemical analysis, symbolism and actual use of each mineral salt.
This book speaks about diseases and astrological signs. Some folk may consider this information pseudo-science or outdated information. However if you decide to read this book remember when the release date and remember that times change. Keep an open mind!

Actually thoroughly enjoyed this book! Its written a bit repetitively & definitely have to pay attention to not miss details. It also utilizes a lot of medical terms but I enjoyed looking things up and making the connections necessary. I found it very insightful and I am knowledgeable in the subject to a degree already. Its a very interesting subject & very detailed. I recommend to anyone who enjoys history, medical science & zodiac/planetary themed stuff.
I was expecting more info on how Dr. Carey came to learn about the 12 cell salts and why he assigned each one specifically to its Zodiacal correspondence, but that really wasn’t discussed at all in this book.
I was really looking for a more practical understanding of this health system, but it was so overwhelmingly esoteric in nature that I wasn’t able to really walk away with a solid understanding of how or why these salts supposedly work at contributing to our health.
Maybe I’m too dense or simply went into this book with the wrong assumptions of what it’d be like but I think I’ll stick to the YT videos on this subject for now.
