Published in 1910, Still takes a regional approach in discussing disease process and how to treat with Osteopathy. He emphasizes that he has tested and tried all the techniques he presents in the book for their efficacy. He also outlines the basic principles of medical practice of the day that did not harmonize with Osteopathic philosophy. He begins the book with descriptions of the fundamentals of Osteopathy with emphasis on finding the dysfunction and then using the appropriate method to release it. He then proceeds to discuss each region of the body (head, throat, thorax, abdomen, etc.), obstetrics, fetal and prenatal care. Still also discusses the importance of diet during pregnancy, childhood illnesses, and bedwetting. He covers contagious disease (malaria, typhoid, influenza, etc.) and the benefits Osteopathy can have in these situations. Other disorders that are included under the Spinal region include drunkenness, eczema, and anemia. As in all of his works, Still avoids using long medical terminology and instead uses lay terminology to explain his ideas as clearly as possible to medical and lay people alike.
