THE ART OF MASSAGE, Its Physiological Effects and Therapeutic Applications.
By John Harvey Kellogg
A COMPLETE and systematic treatise on Massage, especially one adapted for students of the art, has long been needed. Concise directions are given for more than forty manipulations. Fifty pages are devoted to the several procedures of Massage, which are considered under seven heads; namely, TOUCH, STROKING, FRICTION, KNEADING, VIBRATION, PERCUSSION, and JOINT MOVEMENTS. Under these several different heads, more than forty different forms of manipulations are described, care being taken to eliminate all procedures which are of no real practical value. Every procedure illustrated by half-tone engravings from original photographs. Forty-five plates; one hundred and thirty-nine cuts; ten beautiful colored anatomical plates. The only complete, practical, and fully illustrated treatise on the subject. Half-leather binding, postpaid......$3 00 Cloth binding, postpaid...... 2 25
