This book is a collection of various essays and speeches on the topic of medicine and medical history from Roswell Park at the dawn of the 20th century. Delving into the evil eye, the Knights Hospitaller, history of surgery, and more, it touches on occult topics frequently, histo...ry constantly, and what would now be considered quack medicine occasionally.Advocating the use of cocaine as a pain killing agent and speaking at length even about military matters, The Evil Eye is highly useful and interesting now even as it must have been a century prior.

This interesting compilation of lectures was delivered to a Unitarian and Masonic congregation by the well known Charles Vail; a political, social, and religious figure, also a Mason, among other things.The topics vary from lecture to lecture; the brief history of Freemasonry, th...e symbols it employs, their meaning, and the older, sometimes pre-Christian traditions intertwined with the same. With plenty of remarks on the Knights Templar and other intriguing topics, Vails' work is one of the best of its kind.
