Some unrecognized factors in medicine. THEOSOPHY.

First edition of this textbook on spiritual medicine, in the bright original cloth. In common with many spiritual developments originating in late 19th-century America, theosophy contends that there is a deeper spiritual reality than that accessible through science, and that direct contact with this reality can be established through transcendental practices. Some unrecognized factors in medicine applies these concerns to medical practice, contending that it can lead the materialist physician "to a deeper understanding of their patients and explain much that is ignored or discounted when man is looked upon as a physical body only" (p. 10). A small slip pasted onto the title page notes that this particular copy was "sold by The Theosophical Press, Wheaton, Illinois", the headquarters of the Theosophical Society in America. Octavo. Anatomical plate printed in red and black, tables in the text. Original green cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Light bumping and rubbing, minor foxing to upper edge, contents crisp and fresh: a very good copy indeed.
