18896941New York: Phillips & Hunt 1889. First edition. 8vo 3 291pp plus 4 ads at rear. Beige textured cloth backed parchment boards stamped in gilt and blind. Some rubbing and soiling corners worn. Clean internally and very good. <br /> <br /> A strange book with a fun title which tells the cautionary tale of a hypochondriac woman how she brings down those around her and finally rids herself of her condition. She does this more or less through an odd combination of mind and faith-healing. Dr. Homer H. Moore was a Methodist clergyman and author of such other titles as Matter Life & Mind: Their Essence Phenomena & Relations examined with Reference to the Nature of Man & the Problem of His Destiny; and The Anatomy of Atheism As Demonstrated in the Light of the Constitution and Laws of Nature. A blurb from the Methodist Review September 1889 states:<br /> <br /> "Dr. Moore. has discovered the secret of much of the sickness that afflicts the human family and offers in this work a prescription which. will result in a cure. through a common-sense belief in one's health with suitable exercise and an abundance of nourishing food. The professional sick. must be treated not as they desire but according to the facts."<br /> <br /> In the author's preface he mentions all the people he may offend with his book including doctors. It does seem to be a text of belief-based medical denial. <br /> <br /> OCLC cites only 4 holdings.<br /> <br /> <br /> . Phillips & Hunt unknown
