"In my years of practice as a physician, I have, by the use of
Astrology, been able to very quickly locate the seat of the
disease, the cause of the trouble, the time when the patient began
to feel uncomfortable, as based on the birth data of the patient,
and this without even touching or examining the patient, and my
intense desire to get this knowledge and wisdom before students and
Healers in a classified form, is the reason for this Encyclopaedia.
. . . When once you have discovered the cause of the disease, and
understand its philosophy and the relation of the patient to the
great Scheme of Nature, the matter of treatment I leave to you, and
according to the System and Methods you may be using." (pg.
502)This is not only the best book ever written on medical
astrology, it is also the best medieval medical reference ever put
in print. This book excels in diagnosis, in other words, if the
symptom is X, then the astrological cause is Y. Which becomes the
key to reading the patient's chart, or his decumbiture. Cornell
writes in traditional language. The same language, in fact, as you
will find in Culpeper, Saunders, Lilly, Blagrave and many others.
This book is the key that will open these and many more.Howard
Leslie Cornell, M.D., (1872-1938) was a naturopathic physician with
apractice in the US and India. In 1918 he set about to compile the
medical references in his many astrology books. As he himself
wrote, it became a momentous task, eventually comprising two large
ledgers. These were then arranged, classified, disentangled and
wrote into readable form. Only at that point did he consider making
a proper book of it, and set about retyping and rearranging yet
again. The result of 15 years work was published in 1933. It has
been in print, off and on, ever since. It remains the one
indispensable medical astrology book.The Encyclopaedia of Medical
Astrology repays close study. A page-by-page reading is most
rewarding.
