Biological Reversion and Hippocratic Anatomy

.The book under review is an eminently readable digression into subjects medical, psychic, metaphysical, poetical and other themes equally interesting. To define the scope of the work in the author's words " Biological reversion is a clinical method designed to define and rectify the consequences of chronic toxaemia." A detailed anatomical analysis is made of the skin, the subcutaneous tissues, connective tissues and muscles. The liabilities of under-nourished intoxicated tissues with faulty function and lymphatic stasis are then compared with the assets?normal tissues and normal function. Toxremia is eliminated after a search for focal sepsis and the intestinal traffic restored by the devices described in the text. Regeneration is promoted locally by mechanical accelerated nutrition and generally by clinical metabolism. The mechanical treatment restores lymphatic circulation in a predetermined order and in addition provides useful indications for directing treatment by means of biological reactions excited by the manipulations." This volume, treating of everything in general and of nothing in particular, should provide interesting reading to doctor and layman alike during leisure hours.
