The Practice and Applied Therapeutics of Osteopathy By Charles Hazzard Ph.D. Preface The matter contained in this volume was delivered as a course of lectures. In order that the classes might have lectures in printed form as the work progressed, they were printed and distributed in weekly lots, but in such form that at the end of the course they could be bound and preserved. The work being printed piecemeal in this way explains why there occur various blank pages through the book. They will, however, be found useful for annotations. As the lectures were delivered in conjunction with daily quizzes in the symptomatology of the diseases considered, the standard texts upon Practice of Medicine being used, it was manifestly desirable to omit from this work all the matter so easily accessible in those writings. This plan left the author free to devote these pages entirely to osteopathic considerations, intending that this work should be used in conjunction with any standard text of medical practice. No special attempt has been made to follow the usual classification of diseases closely, for various reasons. Likewise, no effort has been made to cover every disease known. It is hoped, however, that the effort to represent the osteopathic view of disease and the osteopathic mode of treatment, even upon this limited scale, may not have been in vain. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.
