On Bone-Setting

In "On Bone-Setting", Wharton Peter Hood examines the practice of treating dislocations, sprains, and fractures outside conventional medical institutions. Drawing on clinical experience and careful observation, he explores the methods used by traditional bone-setters, explains why some of their techniques can be effective, and considers the limitations and dangers involved. The book offers a compelling blend of medical history, practical insight, and professional debate, shedding light on a once-controversial field of healing. On Bone-Setting is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1871.
