The Detection of Disease (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781684220175)

2016 Reprint of 1930 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This work is exposition of the work of Albert Abrams (1863 - 1924), an American doctor, well known during his life for inventing machines which he claimed could diagnose and cure almost any disease. These claims were challenged from the outset. Abrams developed a medical technique called Spondylotherapy, which was inspired by chiropractic and osteopathic ideas. The basic principle is the stimulation of nerves originating from the spinal cord, which can trigger reflex actions on viscera or inner organs.
