The Art Of The Bonesetter: A Testimony And A Vindication is a book written by George Matthews Bennett and first published in 1884. The book is a detailed account of the life and work of a bonesetter, a traditional practitioner who sets broken bones and treats other musculoskeletal injuries. Bennett, who himself suffered from a broken leg as a child and was treated by a bonesetter, provides a firsthand account of the bonesetter's techniques and methods. He also offers a historical and cultural perspective on the practice of bonesetting, tracing its origins back to ancient times and exploring its place in traditional medicine.The book is divided into two parts. The first part is a personal testimony of Bennett's experience with a bonesetter, including his recovery and the impact the treatment had on his life. The second part is a vindication of the bonesetter as a legitimate and effective practitioner, despite the skepticism and criticism of the medical establishment.Throughout the book, Bennett argues that bonesetting is a valuable and important part of medical care, particularly for those who cannot afford or access traditional medical treatments. He also challenges the idea that bonesetters are uneducated or unskilled, citing numerous examples of successful treatments and recoveries.Overall, The Art Of The Bonesetter offers a unique perspective on a little-known aspect of medical history, and sheds light on the role of traditional medicine in modern healthcare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
