										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="p1"><span class="s1">This item consists of briefcase containing a folding metal  “phrenometer” (the phrenometer’s ring has various calibrations and markings), </span><span class="s2"> </span><span class="s1">several booklets and papers relating to the philosophy and practice of Vitosophy as well as some annotated phrenological charts based on the analysis of  clients.  The briefcase was owned by  a practitioner named  Sydney Block, who lived in Royal Oak, Michigan.  “Professor William Windsor, L.L.B., Ph.D.”( 1857-1922) was Vitosophy’s founder and the author of several books that put forth its principles and benefits. He was also a lawyer and, most importantly for our purposes, a phrenologist. Phrenology played an important role in Vitosophy. His phrenometer allowed  measurements of the head to be taken that were later diagrammed and annotated. One might argue that his work was phrenology’s last iteration in 20</span><span class="s3">th</span><span class="s1"> America. We have not previously seen a phrenometer nor can we find a record of one in any collection. </span></p>
<p class="p2"><span class="s1"> </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1"><b> A site called “Kook Science” has the following information on Vitosophy</b></span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s1"><b>Vitosophy</b> (portmanteau of the Latin <i>vita</i>, “life”, and the Greek <i>sophia</i>, “wisdom”: or “The Wisdom of Life”, “The Wise Way of Living”) is a medico-philosophical school and system of self-improvement, devised and promoted by <a href="https://hatch.kookscience.com/wiki/William_Windsor"><span class="s4"><b>William Windsor</b></span></a> (and his <a href="https://hatch.kookscience.com/wiki/Boston_College_of_Vitosophy"><span class="s4"><b>Boston College of Vitosophy</b></span></a>) beginning in the late nineteenth century, based heavily on <a href="https://hatch.kookscience.com/wiki/Phrenology"><span class="s4">phrenology</span></a> and general understandings of human genetics (including eugenics) of the period. According to their own copy, Vitosophy is “a scientific system of Character Study and Delineation, a new system of Drugless Healing of all diseases, not surgical, and a complete system of Personal Culture ac­cording to standards of exact knowledge of character.”<a href="https://hatch.kookscience.com/wiki/Vitosophy#cite_note-1"><span class="s5">[1]</span></a> Among other principles, the system teaches that there are seven temperaments — Electric, Magnetic, Alkali, Acid, Vital, Motive, and Mental — governing life, and one must abide dietary and lifestyle regimes compatible with these temperaments.</span></p>
