A Comprehensive and Confidential Treaties on the Structure and Functions,
Passional attractions and Perversions; True and False Physical and Social
Conditions, and the most intimate relations of men and women. By T.L.
Nichols, M.D. 482 pages, 81 engravings, cloth.
THIS BOOK IS ALL THAT ITS TITLE INDICATES.--It treats of the
generation, formation, birth, infancy youth, manhood, old age, and death
of man; of health and disease, marriage and celibacy, virtue and vice,
happiness and misery; of education, development and the laws of a true
life. It is intended to answer all questions, and to give the fullest and
most reliable information on every subject of a physiological or medical
nature--to be a faithful friend in health and disease, and in all the
conditions of life, especially to the young of both sexes, and those who
are about to enter upon new relations.
It contains the highest and deepest truths in Human Physiology, with their
individual and social application; the true nature and hidden causes of
disease; the condition of health, physical and passional; all that
information which every human being needs, which few dare to ask for, or
know how to obtain, but which, amid the discordances of civilization, is
of priceless value.
The portion of the work on the generative system, is written with entire
frankness and fully illustrated, and is unquestionably the most remarkable
exposition of the physical, spiritual, and passional nature of man ever
written--so remarkable indeed, that it has seemed to many persons to be
the result of direct inspiration. The whole subject of the relations of
the sexes, or love, marriage, and paternity, is laid open, as it never has
been by any other author. A miscellaneous chapter, forming an appendix to
this portion of the work, is also of a very remarkable character. It has
been truly said, "There can scarcely be any important question, which any
man or woman can ever need to ask a physician, to which this book does not
contain an answer." The diseases of the generative system, physical and
passional, are treated of with great fitness.
Hundreds of voluntary testimonials to the extraordinary character and
merits of this book have been received from persons eminently qualified to
judge, among which are clergymen, physicians, lawyers, college professors,
etc. We select the following:
"I look upon it," says Dr. STEPHENS, of Forest City, N.Y., "as the
most wonderful book ever written. It marks a new era in literature
and life."
"What a pity," says Dr. SCHELL, of Ind., "that a copy cannot be
found in every family in the whole world!"
"This book," says Dr. DODGE, of Owego, N.Y., "contains more that is
weighty in fact, and sound in philosophy; more that is useful in
medical science and effective in medical art; more that is
purificative and elevative of man than any one work, in volumes few
or many that has ever grace the Librarie Medicale of civilization."
"It contains," says Dr. BAKER, of Racine, Wis. "just such knowledge
as a suffering world needs, to enlighten, develop, and ennoble the
minds of the people."
Dr. FARRAR, of Portland, Me., says, "Esoteric Anthropology is vital
in every part, refreshing every man's and woman's soul that reads
it with a most grateful sense of its truth and importance. I know
of no work in the world like it, or comparable with it."
"I have read 'ESOTERIC ANTHROPOLOGY' with all the deep earnestness
and absorbing interest with which I have ever perused the most
brilliant romance. It has inspired nobler emotions, and deeper
pleasure. 'Truth' is more attractive than 'fiction.' The work, I
believe to be eminently true to nature--to her unerring laws; I
hesitate not, therefore, to pronounce it a noble work. It will be
a great blessing to humanity."--PROF. ALLEN, of Antioch College.
The enthusiastic letters respecting it, received, would fill a volume,
larger than book itself. Sacrificing every personal consideration, and
changing his first intention, which was to keep it as strictly private and
professional work, a physiological mystery, as its title indicates--the
author offers ESOTERIC ANTHROPOLOGY to the whole public of
readers; satisfied that no permanent evil can result to any human being,
from the knowledge of the deepest truths, and most sacred mysteries of the
science of life.
MARK THIS.--Nearly every other work on this subject directs the reader
to apply to its author for a prescription in case of sickness, accompanied
by a fee; while this, although its author is a practising physician,
contains not a line of this kind; its whole tendency being to place every
reader, whether male or female, entirely above the need of a physician.
