    ART OF MASSAGE Its Physiological Effects and Therapeutic Applications 1 By J. H, KELLOGG, M. TV The continuous demand for this work which has rendered necessary the issuing of a fifth edition is recognized by author and publishers not only as an evidence of appreciation of the value of the work as a hand-book of massage, but especially as an indica- tion of the growing interest in physio- logic medicine in English-speaking countries. The medical profession everywhere is giving to physiologic measures their true place in therapeu- tics, and medicine is rapidly becoming a true science, based upon rational and physiologic principles. The Only Complete, Practical and Fully Illustrated Treatise on Massage Contains a number of new procedures not previously described in any text-book, and of great practical value especially in connection with abdominal and pelvic massage which heretofore has received little attention. The only treatise which enables a person to become even moderately expert in massage without the aid of a living teacher. Dr. Kellogg has become familiar with all its procedures li\ a personal study, during two visits to Europe, of the methods employed by the best Eng- lish, Swedish, French, and German manipulators. The practical application of massage by the aid of a well-trained corps of from ten to thirty manipulators, in the treatment of many thousands of invalids during the last twenty years, as Superintendent of the Battle Creek (Mich.) Sanitarium, and his experience in the training of a large number of manipulators, has amply qualified him for the authorship of this volume. Every Procedure Illustrated by Half-Tone Engravings from Original Photographs 240 pages besides 47 full-page plates; 139 views; 11 colored anatomical plates. Also a table of the 208 Muscles of the Body, with the nerve sup- ply and action of each. PRICE, BOUND IN CLOTH, $2.50 Jfxe Good Health Publishing^ (gmpani)
