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.
