The book Andrew Taylor Still by Elbert Hubbard is a biography of the founder of osteopathy, Andrew Taylor Still. It details the life and career of Still, who was born in Virginia in 1828 and became a doctor in the mid-19th century. Still was dissatisfied with the traditional medical practices of his time and developed a new approach to healthcare based on the belief that the body has the ability to heal itself. He called this approach osteopathy, and it became a popular alternative to traditional medicine.The book explores Still's childhood, his early medical training, and his experiences as a doctor during the Civil War. It also delves into his personal life, including his marriage and his relationship with his children. The author provides a thorough examination of Still's theories and methods, including his emphasis on the importance of the musculoskeletal system and his use of manual manipulation to promote healing.Throughout the book, Hubbard offers insights into the historical and cultural context in which Still lived and worked. He also provides a critical assessment of Still's legacy, examining the impact that osteopathy has had on modern medicine. Overall, Andrew Taylor Still is a comprehensive and engaging biography that offers a fascinating glimpse into the life and work of a pioneering figure in the field of healthcare.THIS 26 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Olympians: Elbert Hubbard's Selected Writings Part 2, by Elbert Hubbard.
