tried to believe him sincere. I could do that, but when I would ask him
to prove that medicines of ani' kind could demonstrate their scien tific usefu ln ess either in a general or specific manifes tation when administered to
diseased persons, right at this
very important moment he says,
his profession has to use great
cau tion in se lecting and ad ministe ri ng drugs to suit t he p er son

s tory to t he enquirer for tru tp by saying, that more depends upon the
practitioner's k nowledge of what kinds of persons he must administer large
doses of sedatives to in order to control their nervous system, and what
cla ss of p eople would di e under th e influ ence of suc h sedative treatment, "
What c la s s or kind of blue or black eyed, r ed , light, black haired people
di e if th ey did not in his judgment have a lco ho lic or sti mu la n ts , such as
fly bli ster, mustard plaster a n d so on , and when h e has talked to y ou he
s ay s " I a m in h on or bound although old and g ra y in the practice of m edicin e to s ay to y ou that my experien ce for 10 thes e many y ears has been
c ro wne d by heart-rending di sappointments. I do not know how many I
have killed with drugs if any. I do not know how many I have c ur ed by
t h e use of drugs if any at all." Then that mighty friend comes forward,
th~t good old "However" and he says " It is my trade, by it I make my
daily bread a n d must be satis fied to co n form to established u sag es
( legalized igno ra nce.)"
This is t he kind of unreliable information that the seeker for truth
does now , and has received wh en h e cruises on the ocea n of tim e for that
k in d of k no wledge that h e ca n u se and a pp ly, and know h e will get the d es ire d results as a r ew ard for hi s labor. H e k no ws that our machine shops

or us ed by th e m echanic ; a n d h e knows that the m echanic can get the re s ult or r esults once or many times . If h e wan ts to bor e a h ol e h e knows
that by the a ssi stan ce of the aug er h e gets the result . When h e wants

and sa wed in London the other in N ew York . H e knows if skillfully done
that all will come together, fit clos ely a n d prove the r eliability of the
s qu a re.
This s a me rule of certainty is just as go od with ten thousand in strum ents when used skillfully for the purpose or purpos es for which they
w ere designed .
All of th e me chanical do ctor's r em edies do get the desired results , of
which h e is proud. The medi cal man ' s r emedial ag ents a re u sed and applied , all fail because the medical ca rp en ter has no square by which he
can work.
t r ea tin g su ch diseases as co me u nder the claims of Osteopathy, that there
is but one known cause that t he h on est and most competent searcher h as
fo u n d or is liable to find , and that is ignorance of anatomy, and what that
bo dy ca n and will willin gly do. I b eli ev e we today are only beginners. I believe ev ery day of two y ears in anatomy has only made us able to see t hat
old theories ou ts ide of strict atte ntion p ertaining to the forms and function s of the parts of the bo dy is ti me lost. Ages have been blindly w asted,
a n d theories that are d ev oid of truth as to what m ov e the " h ealin g man"
or doctor sho uld make . I a m su re the doctors of all a g es have had the
blin d staggers , they have b een blind to the fact that God had put in man
a mind to direct him in all business undertakings. That he gave to fles h
the power of wisdom and locomotion, he associated life with it. He di d

IT W AS my good fortune or bad fortune to introdu ce O steop athy in its

was a go od sized boy baby, with st rong lun g s . It h a s talked to the p eople
of the beauties of th e discovery that it had made, which are a few of the
prin ciples that go ver n animal lif e, which , no doubt, are as old a s the days
of ete r nity. After tw enty-five y ears of close investigation , I have made

other work than dos ing and instrumental surgery; he has by proving
to the world that fevers of all kinds can be stopped by cha nging the motion
of blood from quick to slow ca used man to see tha t blood moves fast or slow
just in proportion to the amount of force or energy .that is given to the
nerves of motion from the brain . The n erves move fa stly wh en irritated by
causes that would ex cite elect ricity to becom e mor e a ctive. Surely elec "
tricity has much to do in h eat and motion , and motion must precede fri ction,
then it is natural to h ave friction before we can have h eat. Thus we say
fever h eat, but we ca n just as easily say that h eat is only elec tricity in quick
motion. Moti on a nd fri ction th e cau se, h eat the effec t. The Osteo path

DUTIES PERTA IN ING TO OUR PR OF E SSIO N .
THE FA?T that the physic ia n's ~rofessio n b~i ~gs him fa ce to f.ace with
suffermg and often makes h im the unwilling agent of pam, unfits
him for minist ration s to those wh o a re most dear to him, to whose a nguish
he is most se ns itive. H e is, th er efor e, p eculiarl y unfi tt ed for practice in
hi s own family , es pecially in severe or ac ute cases. H en ce every physi cian should b e willi ng to r esp ond to the n eeds of his fellow pra cti ti on ers,
or me mbers of the ir families , of hi s own sch ool at least, without ex pecta ti on of co mpe nsation . B ut sho uld th e a mo unt of th e expense in cu rr ed by
the practitione r in treating a no ther physician or his family, or in deed
sh ould a regular fee fr om one in afflue nce, be tendered to one n ot so fortunately si tuate d, its acceptance should not be considered a n unp rofes sional act.
The sick a re pron e to ge t all the in form ation they can concerning
them selves from many physicians of all sc hoo ls. Se ek ing profession al
a d vice or t reat ment fr om a nyone else th an th e regular physician is often
don e in suc h a wa y as to be a n act of discourtesy , but is of cou rse, a lmost
entirely beyond the phy sician 's contro l. It is th e mann er rathe r than the

ac t itself to whic h the physician h as a right to object; because the afflicted
p er son , especially if the case is critical or of long standing, has the right
to call fo r t he best advice and the best treatment wit h which science and
a rt can furnish him. Opinions concerning a case will differ more or less
a nd all may contain both truth and error. The best may err, Cau tion is
ne cessary in arriving at a conclusion and even greater caution in expressin g an opinion upon the judgment or treatment of another physician .
This should not prevent the physician from giving his own opinion as to
th e condition and treatm ent of the cas e, if don e with delicacy and proper
considera tion for the feelings and interests of oth er s .
It is to be presumed that a physician who has been in r egular attendance upon a case is more familiar with it than on e who sees it for the first
ti me. It would, therefore, be the height of con ceit as well as discourtesy
to criti cize a brother physician whose patient you may be called to se e.
This suggest s th e question as to what the physician sh ould do wh en called
upon to treat the patient of another practitioner, tha t is, on e who is still
taking treatment of another and one who is supposed to be und er hi s care.
A d ue regar d for th e welfare of the patient and cour tesy towards his physic ian in di cate that the acceptance of suc h a case sh ould be atten ded with
caution . Treatment by two or mor e physicians may thwart the purpose
ai med a t; h en ce th e treatment of the patient of another practition er may
prov e injuriou s to t he phy sical we ll bei ng of the pa tien t and to the reputation of both ph y sician s, to say nothing of questio nable co nduc t in even
having th e a ppearance of rob bing a no the r of hi s pra cti ce.
Our field is the world. Ther e probabl y is not a city or hamlet a nywhe r e in whi ch are fo un d t90 ma ny legitimate, well qualified Osteopaths.
Hen ce the dem and wh ich the sc hools a re un a bl e to sup ply . Under t hese
condition s it is not su rprisi ng that the Osteopath sho uld be restless u ntil
he se cures one of t he bes t be rths . But th is does not justify the unseeml y
scra mble so me times in dulg ed in by those who seek to reap a h arvest of
anoth er ' s pl anting ; or t hose wh o work a field for a sho r t tim e simply for
the pur pose of securing a larg e pecu ni ary r eward . As long as we hav e
physician s of th at class appare ntly in goo d standing in ou r ranks, so lon g
ma y we be accu sed of fak ery and r anked with the p eripateti c patent medici ne ve n de r. Every pe rso n takin g u pon him self the title of Os teopathic
physicia n an d p racticing or prete nd ing to practice the art may determine
for years th e es timation in which Os teopathy will be h eld in that com munity. Good, hon est work will tell to the glory of the profession ; bad, dis ho nest work or the q uestionable character of the D r. will leave a h erita g e
whic h will not be easily destro ye d .
Often ti mes cons ult ations may be ne cessary to satis fy th e just demands
of th e patie nt, or a dvisable to in sure the best treatment of th e patient or
to sh are the respon si bili ty of th e ph y sician in a really critical ca se : It is
needless to say a cons ultation as to methods of tr ea tm ent sho uld be among
168
members of the same s chool or practice; but a s to diagnosis, bigotry or
narrowness on the part of the physician should not ca use him to deprive
the patient of the benefit of the combined knowledge of all schools. E ac h
c ons~ltin?" physici an s~o.uld have aa g ood an op po r tu nity to a complet e
e~amI~a:LOn a s the conditio n of the patient will allow, but should withhold
hIS opIm.on for sec ret discu ssion. The attending physician should take
th e lead In s uc h m eetings and solicit the fr eest expression of opinion s ; If
all are not able to agree, regard should be had for the op inion of the
a tten ding physician.
Th e question often arises as to the manner in which a knowlege of the
?enific~nt influenc.e of Osteopathy may be extended to those ignorant of
It~ merits. If .the work of the Osteopathic physician is a blessing to man~Ind, .the pubhc should not k ept in ignorance of its merits. The manner
In w~l:h th.e public is to be apprised of the presence of an Osteopathic
physIC~a.n In a community may be an op en qu estion. Direct personal
a dv er tising through th e. public press savo rs of quackery, and can not be
looked upon as professional; and private circulars containing testimonials
or ~ther ~ta.te~ents as to remarkable cures p erformed by the on e whose
bu siness It IS Intend ed to advertise are unworthy the dignity of a member
of a nobl ~ p~o.fession. As our school of practice is unknown ex cept to the
few ,.a dignifi ed state me n t of th e distinguishin g t en ets o f Osteopathy
de.V?I~ of all personalities or vit upe ra tio n su r ely would not be su bject to
critic is m, This might be di stributed in th e form of a circ ular , or better in
the pag es of a regularly published j ournal devot ed to the interests of
Osteop~thy. The n atural d esire of th e public for less my steriou s methods
of h eahn g makes patients willing to adv ertise th e h on est a nd successful
Os teo path. Thi s method may meet all the r equir emen ts and bec om e all

Neith er should a physician be g uilty of u nd erbidding th e services of

The un s.eeml y quarrel that has been wag ed for a cen t ur y or more be tw een opposwg schoo ls of medi cin e-should not becom e a part of th e h eritage of.' Os teo p ath~ . Each sc hool has been taught some things by the

the distinctive features of hi s school; nei th er should h e r efuse to en ter t he
arena to engage in open combat wh en hi s profession is assail ed . Our sy s te m being based upon s cie n tific prin ciples, we can a nswer by argumen t
an d facts the undignified cry of " quack," "fraud," "fake, " " guerrilla, "
etc . ; and the a ssaults made upon us in legi slature and co urts by ou r combined opposition. "Whom the go ds would destroy, they fir st make mad.!"
The Osteopathic physician must not forget that h e h as a du ty to perform to th e public. Prophylaxis is more to b e desired than suffering even
t houg h followed by cu re s; the good h ealth of a commu nity is more than
t he r eputation or succe ss of any physi cian. Hence h e who is competent
to aid a commu nity , by his advice or labor, to avoid epidemics awl to
m ain ta in public health would not be co un te d a worthy mem ber of a profe ssion if he did n ot r ender this duty to the public.
Our medical brethren have long had a reputation for their unselfish
devotion to th e poor, and we must be willing to share their labor if oppo r t u nities permit. But the inmates of endo wed eleemos y n a ry institutions or
of institutions co nd uc te d for mutual benefit are not entitled to g ra tuitou s
se r vices .
Mu ch can be don e by the Os teopathic physician by g ua rding th e pub lic against the impositious of quackery ;es pe cially the use of drugs in case s
of an ato m ical di sturbances. The adv ertisem ents in the public press for

The term' ' re mo ve lesi on s" is a good one a nd y et it is in ex a ct in many
cases. It is a n elastic p hrase a n d capable o f m an y an d v aried int erpretat ions. Each year of ac tive practice a dd s to the Os teopa thic id ea of what
lesions are. Our liter a ture contains many references to lesions which are
not mentioned in Dr. Still's writings and yet Dr. Still's basic work has
made the later conceptions possible. Osseous lesi on s h a ve a lways been
paramount in our work and thought; but m uscular lesion s now hold a n
equal place and bid fa ir to lea d when we see more clearly into the s ubject.
We say that "when t he a natomical is absolutely correct the ph y siological potentiates." This conception is based on the statement that the
h u man body is a machine. Th e hu man body is vastly more th an a ma chine, it is a vital mechanism a nd the fact that it is v ital r en der s it sus ceptible to other in flu ences besides mechanical, such as falls, tw ists,
strains, etc. "Ve may truthfull y say that wh en the phy si ological is over
ac tive t he a natomical ali gnm ent is disar ra nged.
It h as bee n proven many ti mes th a t the Osteopath is capable of check i ng th is ove r activity by very s im ple m ean s . B ut, yo u say , what c a u se d

so.
If s uc h as I h ave q uoted be the ou tc ome of too close a dhere nce to
mech anical th eories in the caus a tion an d treatm ent of disease,then we had
b etter pay more attention to nerve reflexes and reactions a s a result of
Osteopathic inhibition or stimulation.
Our work is not all me chanical nor is it a ll inhibitory or stimula to ry j
it is a judicious use of all th ese, one is q uite as importan t a s th e other. '
Inhibition is a larg e a nd n ecessary part of many tr eatme nts g ive n for
the purpose of r em oving a definite lesion , for if inhi bition were not fir st
u sed the tru e lesion could not be tou ch ed. This is th e ca se in intes tin al
obstructions .
In a ca se of pl eurisy which came under my ca re an oppo r tu nit y was
offe re d to t est inhibition unhampered by any other method. Th e patient
could not bear to have th e ri ght a rm mov ed, respiration wa s exceedi ngly
shallow and th e ph y si cal s tre ngth wa s very low. Hot fom en ta tion s had
been used but to lift the a r m caused excr uc iati ng pains in the aid e. Ste a dy
inhibition was given for fift een minutes between transver se process es on
right side in the area between 3rd a nd 7th dorsal vertebras. A fter this
len gth of tim e patient could rai se ri ght arm above th e head a nd take mu ch
better in spiration s. As a r esult of this treatme nt g iv en twice eac h day the
pat ient made a good r ecovery even t hough all the metabolic p rocesses
we re car ried on in a very un sa tisfa ctory way.
Acco rding to Hilton ' s idea s as ex pressed in "Rest an d Pain" a ny
movem ent of the ches t mu s cl es would be co ntra -indicate d on accou nt of
the p ain which would be na ture 's method of enforc ing res t n ecessary for
the cu re. T he pa t ient decl ared that t he deadening of th e pai n a nd th e
co nseque nt possibility of movem ent of th e thorax se emed to revivify t he
en tire system as well it might on account of the increased circu lation and
r esultant activity of all vital p rocesses . H ilton's the ories .a re cer ta inly
we ll sustained by his a rgumen ts, bu t when we cons id er that h e calls ad h esi on of ti ssu es a cu re we a re co mpe lle d to strive for different results.
Th e questio n mi ght b e as ked h ow lon g did t he good effec ts of t he treatment la st? Usually abou t th ree h ours , th e tigh te ning up a nd pain bein g
less severe each time. Other ca se s of pl eurisy h ave y ie lde d just as r ea dily to this m ethod. The patient mu st be k ept thoroughly warm .
In chronic diseases on e has ample op por tunit y to search for a definite
lesion, but acute di seases usually demand rapid work and one must be
ready to meet the demand of the moment. It is comparatively easy to
173
th eorize about osseou s lesion s h ere a nd there in a cu te di sea ses , b ut only he
who h as h a d op po r tu nity kn ows wh at it is to atte mpt to setsublux ated ribs
or ver tebrae in cases of pneu mo nia or append icitis.
If, as Hilton de clares , t he use of local an esthetics over the te rminations
of se nsory nerves which are refl exl y irritable on a ccount of inflammation
in the a rea of dis trib u tio n of other nerves from the same segm ent of the
co r d is a good treatment, th en th e u se of inhi bition a s a pplie d by th e Os teopa th is su re ly more ra tional a nd sc ie ntific.
Th er e is still a nothe r time wh en inhibition is of in calculable valu e-in
mak ing ex amina tions of th e vagina or re ctum. Sev eral times in my prac tice, examina tion of the vagina se emed impossible without g re a t distress
to the patient. The ir rit a bili ty of the mu cous membran e of the vagina
caused intense spasmodic con t rac tio n of the sphincte r , but steady inhibi tio n ov er th e third and fourth sacral foramina for about five minutes
ca u sed complete r elaxation a nd th e examinatio n co uld th en be made with ou t any troubl e .
We know fr om experien ce that Osteop athy ca n do wonderful work in
removing obstr uc tio ns , and that it comes n earer to finding thes e obstr uc tio ns th an a ny ot her sc hool of pra ctice j but th ere a re diseases not du e to
misplaced tissues a nd it beh ooves us to study how we get re sults in t hose

as " the t hird, fourth an d fifth ri bs are especially a p t to be dislocated ,"
this be ing one of th e causes of bronc ho -pneu monia, we are in d an g er of
becoming ridiculous.
It is not my d esire to be critical, but I am impressed with the fa ct that
man y th eories have been cast into th e Osteopathi c profession without suf ficien t previous close study .
Dr. S till ' s statement th a t he did not want to graduate "engine wipers"

OSTEOPATHY VERSUS MEDICINE AS A HEALTH PRODUCER
L. MILLER, M. D., D. O.
Du luth, Minn .
T HEpeople believe that "nothing succeeds lik e success" in the removal
of the causes of their diseases. They do not care what lon g name
is given to their diseases, no r to the doctor who treats them .
In a free co untry they have a right to know t he tr ue cause of their
illness, and to secu re its removal , even th ro ugh t he h umbl e minis tratio ns
of the sc ie ntific and h ated osteopath-so th at they may not go on t hro ugh
di sa ppointing years of chemical ex per ime nts a nd unn atural r esults upon
their bo dies. Os teopathy succeeds better than me dic ine, because it r emov es the causes o f di sease. It is displa cing th e u se of noxi ou s drug s ,
solely upon its me rits, whic h alone commends the pra ctice to public favor,
intelli g en ce an d co nfide nce. A t the ce n te rs of os teo p athic learning, m any
studen ts a re a n n ually gathe ring to learn the new sc ie nce a nd ar t of h ealing . More than a th ou sand of its pra ctition er s a re already in the wide
wo rld -field, doi ng a good work that is not don e by m edi cal m en. Thousands of to wns in the U nite d States h ave no local Osteopath, hence man y
peopl e ar e compelled to go lon g dis ta n ces to infirmaries of Osteopathy,
for necessary treatment t hat th eir loca l medical m en do not r ender (b e cause they try to remove all causes of suffering with medicine or surgery.)
Osteopathists tr eat the most intractable cases of chron ic and nervous
diseases , that have fail ed of relief from all other forms of treatment.
T he efficie nc y of this treatment is such that it shows a greater per cent of
cures of ob stinate cases than other m ethods of treatment. The effect of
eight y ears of such results as the practice of Osteopathy shows, is that it
is known for good all ov er the United States. Th e on ly sufficie n t expla n a tion why such results are obtained, is that th e practice has a direct refer ence to the rapid removal of the ca use of suffering. The modus operandi
of Osteopathy is la rg ely mechanical because th e body is a mechanism .
The d iso rders of the body are often mechanically cause d and always so
expressed. Every day of th e year Osteopaths are not on ly treating the
most obstinate forms of chronic and nervous diseases b ut t he whole cata logue of ac ute diseases, that h ave been supposed to y ield on ly to the less
effective (for good ) agent of medici ne.
Every great r eform in t he h ealing a r t ha s been met by the mos t bi tter
opposition fr om the " learned" co nservative hosts of medieine, whose
d aily b re ad bu t too ofte n dep ends upon prolon g ed suffe ring. The dr ug less h ealing is more effici ent than medicine in a cute dis ease s , because it
does not prevent but hastens recov ery.
Prof. Al onzo Cla rk of the N ew Y ork College of Physicians and S u r geons stated the plain truth (as have numerous others of the greatest

and taught him to believe, not in the power of man over material
thing s ( that the mind is the man) but in th e rule of material things over
man. H en ce man fell fr om hi s original majestic es tate 'a s ruler over a ll

t ake every thing to get hi s money' s worth .
The h ealth of eve ry p er son is defin ed and produced by right-relation
a n d right-action of the social body and of the physical bodily parts and
fun ctions. His welfare and health depends up on what he thinks and does
to some ex te n t upon what he does not think and do. When h e goes
to hi s physician his restoration to health depends more largely upon
whether his doctor gives him poisonous drugs in addition to the disease
for nature to overcome, or whether the do ctor removes the cause, assisting
nature. The natural or unnatural method employed to disease, is a ssociat ed with th e tru e or false life-plan of th e do ct or and patient.
The one d aily eng aged in the r em oval of the cause of di sease, grows
into th e liken ess of the truth that he express es to and for oth ers . The
world need s m en who beli ev e mor e in health a nd prev ention so that p eopl e may n eed less cu re . The a utho r of " a n ou nce of pr evention is worth

INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS.
SOME di e a nd we canno t. h elp it. We :vo~ld save lif e if we could, but
many come too late ; disease has go t III Its wor k , and the case is without ho p e. I would give worlds to be able to cu re and sen d a ll home well.
One comes in the la st stage of cons umption, whe n the who le lung is a
mass of ruin , and body de ad in a ll it s powers to sus tain lif e. He or she
expec ts to get cured an d go to their h om es bl oomin g with th e r ed fa ce a n d
powerful sinews of lif e; just a s others have done befor e disease had don e
its de adly work.
Ano the r class come with drop sy. They soo n y ield to tre a tme nt, r ecover a nd go hom e rejoicin g in health, while a no the r class die a nd ar e
returned in their coffins. They are dropsical from other ca uses, which
may b e the effects of the last stag es of cancer.
That the afflict ed may know better what to hope for, I write this to inform them that diseases do not all carry the sa me amount of hop e to t he
suffer er, when they boo k at my Infirmary for t reatme nt. While about
sev enty-fiv e per cen t . of th e cases of asthma a re curable in fr om tw o to
four months, other s go lon g er, bec a use of the low st a g e of the vitality of
the syste m, to build up wasted lung tissu e. Th ere is hop e for r eli ef in all
cases of as t hma a nd a cure for a g reat maj ority.
Ma ny cases su pposed to be consumption are n ot consumption, but
asthma in a disguised for m. A majority of suc h cases are curable, and
co ns ump tio n taken before the point of r ep airing has been passed is curable, I think, in many cases.
Heart diseases a re not all a like. The h eart and blood vessels often
h av e cancerous g row ths a nd dera ng e the flow of blood to prostration, and
so found on pos t mor tem examination, othe rs by p ressu r e of ribs on h eart
or n erves , cause g reat annoyance, but a re g en erally cu rab le cases of palpitation an d other diseases of h eart.
Thus yo u mus t expect nothing whe n yo u come, but to learn j ust what
we think yo ur disease is, a nd yo u must patie ntly g ive us time for a deliberate dec ision as to yo ur disease a nd its cause. We will tell yo u of t he
probab ility of cure a nd ab out th e length of time re q uire d for su ch .
At this time we will draw yo ur a tten tion to a seriou s t ru th, whic h is
this: No two cases a re just alike. Natu re is infinite in variety . We may
h ave had a thou sand cases of br ain, heart, lun g , liver, stomach , bowels
and uterus, previou s to y our entry, with no two a ffecting the syste m in the
same way . Yeste r day furnishes but little that would be of benefit in deciding today what yo ur cas e is, with it s cur a bili ty or death tendency.
Out of the hundreds of cases of a sthma that we have treated th ere has
been a g eneral samen ess but no two alike. A case of asthma with paraly-
sis of on e side is not like a case with cancer of the breast, neithe r is it like
t hat of a on e legg ed or one arm ed man , and the treatment must be different, because of othe r parts of the body being di sabled .
A tortuous pain in the h eel may produce convulsions fr om th e h eel
being bruised , whil e an othe r h eel giving j u st as mu ch or more pain may
have as its cause disl ocation of hip , lumbar, or dorsal v ertebra, rib or some
point of the ne ck. The same may b e the r esult of mi sc arriag e ; it may be
followed by spi n al me ningitis or brain disease itself . Yo u must recollect
t hat one se nte nce fr om y ou has ask ed a co mpoun d q uestion. To be answe re d correctly we have to review a thou sand causes a nd selec t the cause
of your trouble. True Ost eopathy doe s not feel satisfied to give y ou an
a nswer in referen ce to your disease and its cau se, in anything like conject u r es .
A small wound of a sen sory nerve, or a pressure, may produce a r a v ing maniac, convulsions, St. Vitus dance , cons tipa tion , leucorrhea , gall
ston e, bladder stones, eruptions of the skin , con su mp tion and death , because of the center or locality, wh ere this wound is r eceiv ed.
My a d vice to y ou previ ous to coming as a patient of mine would be to
be patient men tally, y ou rself; be r easonable, because on th e wisdom of
the exa min ation and de cision dep ends our ability to give y ou a tru th fu l
a nswer .
A se ve r e h ea da ch e may last for many y ears . With almost an impe rcep tible dislocation of some a rticulatio n of t he n eck , which hold s a very
small n erve tig ht, whic h extends to the b rain a nd governs some blood supply this may be the cause of that h ea da ch e, or if n ot able it self to be the
cause may partially dislocate th e lower or t welfth rib, or unduly tighten
so me muscle of the ili a -lum bar syste m s ufficien t to derang e th e func tions
of the kidn ey s ; with th is addition we have a cause for h ea da ch e.
Now if yo u know n othing of the effects caused by suc h combination i t
will be well for y ou to se t aside your judgm ent in favor of kn owledg e
which comes fr om an intimate a cquai n tan ce with the wh ole human sys te m,
whic h is a nato mical in form, physiologi cal in ac tion.
R ig ht h ere I wish to in for m the pa tien t that h e mu st r emember that h e
has n ot come to my infirmary as a matte r of cho ice, fo r many of yo u accordi ng to your own sta te me nt, h ave co me h ere throu gh th e per su asion of
yo ur fri ends, a n d to humor your friends, with n o hop e wh atever of being
b ene fite d . Many of you co me in a fr am e of mind a n d mouth , t hat makes
ou r first intervi ew with yo u v ery unpleasan t. Man y ope n the interv iew
with th e asser tion that th ey have no con fide nce in u s or any thi ng else, for
they h ave tried eve rything, and found no relief . At this tim e th e cou nsel ing physician has to wade ove r morphine, wh iskey and ev ery kn own drug ,
with all its cra zy effects to get at th e mind of th e n ew patient, who has
be en mo re inj ur ed by the dele terious effects of drugs than t he r ava g es of
t he disease. Thus yo u se e that we h av e reason to desire t hat y ou end the
184
interview at once. Nothing but humanity wou ld cause us to co nsent to a
c ontinu a tion of the great annoyance that presents itself at the first inter-,
view. The matter of finan cial profit would bar you a t on ce fr om treatm en t ,
or further in terview, for fa ct s a nd figures show tha t we spe nd ea ch year
se ve ral tho usand doll ars more for t he afflicted than we r eceive fro m them .
I draw fr om othe r so u rces that y ou may be ben efit ed. It requir es such a
l arge fo rce of cos tly ope rato rs to treat th e charity pa ti ents, wh o outnu mbe r
g reatly those who pay t he sma ll pit tan ce, th at th e one fa ils to r emunera te
for the expense of t he other . Inasmu ch as we h a ve co nsented to trea t
y ou kin dly a nd if possible g ive y ou r elief, we ask it on yo ur side that you
b e goo d to yourself, and u s al so.

SCHOOLS BY COMPA RISON .
"[HE Am erican School of Osteopathy bears no comparison to other

school to teach, practice a nd demonstrate the principles of Osteopathy as
taught and practiced by its founder, A . T. Still. His k nowledg e of Osteo p athy and its needs,qualify him to select su itable professors to teach all
b ra n che s n ecessary to thorough knowledge of the science. N ext, but

instruments and appliances to impart knowledg e to the student, with

und e r my care, during th e past fe w
months, eac h of wh ich yi eld ed to treatme n t , ye t eac h was pronounced incurabl e
a nd re ady for t h e knife by th e m edical world
W ith t he 11. D' s it was a case of de ep cu tt in g or q u ic k dea th.
Th e first case is that of Mrs. M. J.
K innar d , wh o li v es on Willson Avenue in
this c ity . Mrs. K innat' d has a tumor; she
m easure d 46i in ches around the ab dome n ,
and wa s g ro win g at ~he r ate of an in ch a
week. As I sn id, sh e was without hope.
I took h er case, but promised nothing'.
T he r e wa s a lesion at the fifth dorsal and
a n ot h e r at th e elv en t b dorsal, both ve r y
m ar ked and quite sore. H e r r i bs on the
left side were ou t of pl a ce, a nd th e t u mo r
on the left side wa s ve ry bard a n d t he
s welli n g was a s larg e as a cocanut.
Now for r esul t: At th e en d of th irty
days M rs K . was reduced in s ize one inch,
instead of b a vi n g g r own an in ch larg er
eac h week as sbe would h av e don e u nd er
th e care of th e M. D 's. A t th e end of two
months Mrs. K, wa s reduced in si ze eigh t
in ches ; at thr ee months sh e wa s r educed
in si ze thirte en and on e-half in ch es , a nd
wa s th en at about h er normal size . She
con t in ue d to take one or t wo treatm ents a
week for thre e months more, wh en the
case was pronounced cured. I have seen
h er on several oc casions s ince then , and
she has had no recurrence of t he trouble.
The other cas e that was r eady for the
k nife, according to th e 11. D 's, was t hat
of George B. H ugg ett, a grocery man of
Ch a r-g r in Falls. Mr H u g g et t was tak en
with appendi citis Sa t urday afternoon.
The doctors who treated him us ed morphine to deaden th e pain . Sunday they
told him he must s ta r t for th e hospital
on Monday mornin g for an op eration , or
he would no t live tw enty-four hours. H e
wa s brough t as far as my office and s topped; t he hospital wa s t wo blocks furth e r.
T he man's agony was so g re a t t h a t I had
d ifficu lty i n laying him on th e tabl e . In
t h is case f found a le sion at th e fif th lu mbar. I desen si ti zed h ere. It a lmost took
h is breath. I trea ted him on th e s ide, for
his pa in was so great h e cou ld not li e on
his s tom ac h . I treated him at 10:30 a . m ,
for t h e first ti m e ; a t 11:30 I sent him out
to do a bu sin ess er ra nd . A t 1::10 1 treated
him again; h e went back home fr e e from
pain. Afte r one month 's tr-eatm ent h e h as

to t his attack h e wa s a great suffere r fro m
pain in the r egion of t he a ppe n dix. I
. have had thre e ca ses of .a p pe nd ic i t.is in
eightee n months, and h a ve not fail ed in a
single cas e.
A no t he r case of inter-eat was t hat of
P ercy Eddy, son of T. C. E d dy, 24 Gl a dstone Street, Clev eland. The troubl e wa s
in th e boy 's k nee : the do ctors call ed it
tuberc ulosis and k ept it in a cast for

an d th e mother o f t he b oy broug h t him to

trouble as in th e h ip , a nd t reated him for

Insanity : T h e case in q ues tio n was a married l ad y ,
aged twe nty years ; afflic tion of two months
sta nding. T he history of the case proved
t hat pr evio us to t h e me nta l derangement she
had h ad what the attending physician called
cerebral congestion . But further investigat ion reveal ed t h e fact that she remained unconscious bu t a couple of hours a t this time,
and that she h ad no fever , but th at h er head
was d rawn back almost against her shoulde rs . H er m ent al affliction followed t h is, she
be ing vio le nt a t times . .
After vis iti ng an M. D .'s office on February 15,1900, and t here bei ng advi sed to tak e

tenderness i n the ce rv ica l reg ion abo ve the
fourth cervica l vertebra but no osseous mi splacement. There was als o dysm enorrhea,
with extreme tend erness at the fifth lumbar
a nd ill the region of th e left ovary, but I
think this latter di sorder h ad but little t o do
with th e mental condition for after thorou ghly rela xing the cervical tissues a stro ng inhibition would restore normal mental ac tivity, but any excitem ent such as meetin g
fri ends, fri ght or anger would m ake her

the third week of treatment sh e h as be en as

w ose bo y, smce s e wa s t wo years 0
a g e, has b een at right an gles with her
l eg s . The condition is supposed to be
m uscular,
Answ er.-After that length of time there
i s likely to b e complete ankylosis in the
joint, but if not some hop e of b en efit may
b e e n te r ta in ed . The l esio n may b e anywhere in th e spinal r egion but more likely
in the sacro-iliac, lum b a r or lowe r dorsal.
A physical examination should determine.

8. Orchitis. 9. Quinsy with abscess.
10. I ritis. 11. G lauc oma. 12. Co llapse.
Answer.-Atresia may be congenital or
the r esult of In tlammutory processes. In
eith er case it may be n ec essa ry to resort
to surgery. W hen due to inflammation
s i m ple dilatation with th e h e lp of the
so und may prove suffic ien t to break up the
adh esi on s . 2.-Sim pie endometi-Itis is ordinarily due to one of two causes which
are op erative in all con g esti ve condition s:
a dilatation of the arter ial chann els allow ing a r etarded flow of blood , or ob struet~on to ve nous ch a n ne ls permi tting stagnation, In the first ca se th e vaso m otors are
interfered with, h ence a lo ss o f arterial
ton e. The r emedy consists in fre eing th e
n e r ve s up ply , usuall y done by a ttention to
t he low er dorsal, lumbar and sac ral r egions.
In th e second case the ca use is more li ke ly
to b e in direct interference with ve in s,
henc e attention to low er ribs, Ilto-aacral

is a cond i t ion seldom met with in Osteo
pathic practice. Out of hundreds of cases of
obstetrics cared for at the A . T . Still Intlrmar-y not a single septic condition has
resulted. Should the condition aris e, h o w ev er, attention to clean liness, elimination
by the excretories, a nd care fu l control of

When disease has appeared , relieve the

5.·-Stricture is a condition
which may be found in any tubal part of
