1934 Nasal Drinking Medical Cure from India - Narayan Das Bhatia
"Nasal Drinking or a Panacea for Health" by Narayan Das Bhatia.
Published in Indore by Swarup Brothers in 1934 in an edition of 1000
copies.
A fascinating and detailed treatise on a system of ‘nasal drinking’,
based on the ancient practice of Usha-pan, as worked out by the author
after several years of experiments. In the preface his friend, professor
Jwala Prasad Singhal, relates that the practice cured his toothache, a
plausible enough claim, and further states that the related practice of
‘douching the nose’ is used to prevent meningitis, a somewhat more
dubious one. The work is illustrated with black & white photos of the
author practicing on himself in a variety of yoga-like positions.
Narayan das Bhatia was a professor at Daly College in Indore. A very
uncommon book; OCLC locates only one institutional location and no
copies were available on the internet when this was catalogued.
Hardcover. 5”x7.5”, 242 pages, 1 line illustration and 23 black & white
illustrations on 20 plates. Minor soil, light cover wear, shadow on
title page and facing page where a newspaper clipping was apparently
stored at one time; French newspaper clipping about nasal drinking glued
to the front paste-down. [417/42763] $75
