The practice of osteopathy

Carl Philip McConnell and Charles Clayton Teall

Etiology, diagnosis, prognosis, technique: McConnell set out to give young osteopaths a complete textbook of their new profession, condition by condition. The result is an enormous window into how the early school actually examined, reasoned, and treated. As a record of American alternative medicine finding its feet, it has few equals. Consult it as history; the practice itself has long since moved on.
