Essentials of Osteopathy

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In arranging this classification of nerve centers and landmarks for correspondence students I do not claim anything original or unique. There is nothing new under the sun is as applicable to these nerve centers and their locations as to anything else under the sun, and yet, with one exception (that most excellent and most completely arranged work of Charles Hazzard known as Principles of Osteopathy), there is no satisfactory arrangement made of these centers and landmarks by which the student may know whereto look for the origin or termination of a nerve, or where to treat for effect upon the sympathetic system, etc. And because I have so many questions upon this point and along this line I have made, this crude little arrangement and hope it will be received in the spirit in which it is written - not as an attempt at authorship, but merely as a convenient aid to the study of Osteopathy.

I have not attempted to give treatment in this little work. The references I have made to it are merely incidental.
