W. R. C. Latson

William Richard Cunningham Latson (March 17, 1866 - May 11, 1911) was an American physician specialising in dermatology and self-described "esoteric psychologist" interested in Asian (Orientalist) mysticism. Latson was the editor of Health-Culture magazine, which was advertised as holding a line "opposed to drugs, vaccination and operations," and wrote extensively on physical culture, autointoxication, hygienic dietetics (including vegetarianism and raw foodism), and certain materials of interest in New Thought circles.
