Occult Science in Medicine is a book by the German doctor and theosophist Franz Hartmann (1838–1912), published in 1893. The aim of the book was to raise awareness amongst doctors and medical students about valuable medical knowledge from the past that has been ignored and catalogued as occult.

The origins of O.T.O. can be traced back to the German-speaking occultists Carl Kellner, Theodor Reuss, Heinrich Klein, and Franz Hartmann. In its first incarnation, O.T.O. was intended to be modelled after and associated with European Freemasonry [1] and as such in its early years only Freemasons could seek admittance.
The name Salomon Trismosin is also likely a pseudonym. Occultist Franz Hartmann claimed the actual name of Trismosin was "Pfieffer" (though he provides no evidence for this claim) [2] and historian Stephen Skinner identifies him with Ulrich Poysel, who was a teacher of Paracelsus.
