A COMPLETE MANUAL OF HEALTH. 



ESOTERIC ANTHROPOLOGY 



(MYSTERIES OF MAN) 



A Comprehensive and Confidential Treatise on the Structure, Functions, 

 Passional Attractions and Perversions, True and False Physical and 

 Social Conditions, and the most Intimate Relations of Men and Women. 



(The book so unjustly anathematised by Mr. Justice Wills 

 in the late Mysterious Pimlieo Case.) 



" Esoteric Anthropology," in its 24 chapters and 340 compactly-printed 

 pages, treats of Man and his Relations the Chemistry of Man Human 

 Anatomy Principles of Physiology the Organic System the Animal 

 System the Function of Generation Impregnation Morals of the Sexual 

 Relation Evolution of the Foetus Pregnancy Systems of Health Con- 

 ditions of Health Causes of Disease Curative Agencies Processes of Water 

 Cure Diseases and Treatment Inflammation and Brain Diseases Diseases 

 of Respiration of Digestion of the Generative System Gestation and 

 Parturition Lactation and Management of Infants Death and Immortality. 



" ' Esoteric Anthropology ' is one of the best popular works on physiology that we have 

 seen. Dr. Nichols writes with frankness on subjects usually shunned by popular writers, 

 but ignorance concerning which has led to incalculable misery. He is never dull nor obscure ; 

 and subjects often made repulsive by dry technicalities, under his treatment become attractive 

 and fascinating. It is a multum in parvo of medical science." Human Nature. 



A Gentleman in the East India Civil Service writes : " It is a book of books ; one that 

 every one ought to have by him or by heart. It is such a complete manual of health as 1 

 have never before seen, and also a manual of marital rights and duties which no one should 

 be without. I am lost in admiration of the purity of the chapters on this subject." 



HUME NISBET says : " If I do not agree with Dr. Nichols in his preface when he calls it 

 ' private 'my manhood preventing me from seeing any sense of necessity for keeping a work 

 like this private, when such a production as the Song of Solomon is put into the hand of child- 

 hood I must in honesty own to the benefit I have received from the wisdom and advice lavished 

 throughout the pages, and would like to share the good with all my kind. But with the utter 

 shamelsssness of society thame it is hard to fight the inconsistencies of the word-worshippers, 

 who swallow the adjective and ignore the noun. The chapters on human anatomy I recommend 

 to artists, as the simplest and most condensed writing I have yet read on this subject. The 

 words to lovers I would fling out to the million." 



150,000 Copies of this work having now been issued to the general public 

 is, we consider, the best testimony of its value as a Hygienic Guide.
