The Art of Massage

By John Harvey Kellogg

BY DR. J. H. KELLOGG
A PRACTICAL, new treatise on massage, especially adapted for students of the art, but helpful to all. A number of excellent treatises have appeared, some of which have been measurably complete, but none have been so comprehensive or systematic in their treatment of the subjects as might be desired. This work is eminently concise, condensed, practical, and covers the whole ground in a manner which the publishers believe will commend itself to all who are competent to judge of its merits.
Concise directions are given in 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 Manipulations. Under these several heads more than forty different forms of manipulations are described, care being taken to eliminate all procedures which are of no real practical value.
It is the only complete, practical, and fully illustrated treatise on the subject.
Price for leather binding, postpaid, $3; cloth binding, $2.25.
