MEDICAL REFORM.

That a great change has within a few years
been wrought ia the practice Of medicine,
no one will pretend 70 deny 1t is well known
that the study and learning which has been
for ages lavlshed upon the use Of mineral
poisons as medicines have failed 10 answer
The reasonable expectations Of the public The
old physicians have abandoned the use Of the
lancet, and have found it necessary 20 reduce
the quantity Of medicine given 10 perhaps one
mn of their original doses but, as diminishing
the quantity does not improve the quality, such
a change can never answer the demands Of suf-
fering invalds.
A change was required which should dis
peuse with all poisonous drugs, and substitute
a system Of innocent medication. which would
harmonic with nature. and remove diseases,
without the risk Of injury 90 the constitution.
For the accomplishment Of this object, many
talented and learned men have zcalously la
bored, and a great reform has been brought
about. Among the champions in this reform,
we believe all are willing 70 yield the palm 20
Dr. r. Greene, the founder Of the " Boston
Indian Medical Institute"
Dr. Greene, after studying the various sys-
TENS Of medicine and finding that they had not
the basis Of nature, turned his attention TO
The study Of Natures Laws spent several
years in travel, and received fnuch useful in
formation from those " children Of Nature " 49,
the red men Of the forest, whose habits and
system Of medical practice he thoroughly in
ycsfgatad, and which has greatly assisted him
ia The development Of a system. having nature
for is foundation and science for It's super
structure.
About ten years ago, Dr. Greene located in
Boston, when the success Of his treatment was
brought more fully before the public and his
sphere Of usefulness enlarged. His Allopathic
friends viewed his success with a jealous eye
and his practice was animAdvcrtcd upon in one
or two Of their medical journals, in no very
dgni6ed terms. That he was successful in oil
ordinary diseases was admitted but they were
slow 90 believe that he was able 90 cure Cancers
and Serofi'ous Htmors. To convince them and
the public Of bis success he published facts in
regard 20 cures OF such cases, giving the names
and residence Of such persons who were viii
ling 20 have their MINES used, so that any one
could be satisfied Of their uuthfulncss. He
also preserved specimens Of cancers as they
were removed, that they might BE- examined
by the doctors, or by the public. Several hun
dreds Of these cancers some Of enormous size,
soon accumulated, having been put up in glass
jars, where they have since remained on exhi-
biu0n at his rooms, SO Bromfeld Street, Bos-
ton, TO which the public have free access.
These incOutr1Yutihle evidences Of success
brought ont the press ia his favor, and drew
around him a large number Of friends who
were interested in the common cause Of hui
manity. The business at the Office so increased
that Il became necessary to relieve DR.. Greene
from the details Of his practice, in order 10
make his services available 10 q larger portion
Of those applying for treatment. For this pur-
pose, and hy the advice and cooperation Of in
hu9ntial citizens an organization was formed
under the name Of the " Boston Indian Med
zeal Institute" Not that the practice was
crude like that Of the Indian, but based upon
th9 Indian system, or natural principles hAr-
n1uiring with natural laws. and avoiding the
use Of poisonous drugs. Under this organiza-
ton the Institution has become the most pop
altar Medical Asylum in the country, where
patients are daily received and successfully
treated for all the various ills Of the human
fnuily. But few people have an adequate
idea of the extent Of business done at this In
suu,ion, or the number Of cures effected, al
though nearly all are familiar with the fact Of
frequent remarkable operations being per-
formed with the most favorable results. Such
results are not without their lesson, They
speak hope 20 many sufferers and the basis Of
such hope is firm one for it rests upon expe-
ncnce and upon facts.
Consumption has been treated with success
unexpected by the patients and their friends;
and the results in numerous cases of Scrofula,
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Heart Disease
Dropsy, Female Complaints, Disease of the
stomach, Bowels, and Kidneys, Rheumatism,
and various other diseases, give confidence 20
those conyersant with the fact, that cures are
effected at this Institution which have baiicd
medical skin elsewhere.
Facts like these cannot be resisted, and this
practice must necessarily take precedence in
the minds of the people.
Many clergymon, editors, and other profess
sional gentlemen, have visited this Institution
and signihod their entire appreciation Of the
system Of practice, and expressed desire that
the facts connected with this treatment should
be made known TO the world
The Institution, whose Card is here APP
pended, is now placed upon firm basis, and
Is an honor TO the city of Boston, and one to
which her citizens can point with pride, in
view Of the vast amount of reliefit has afforded
to sufferers throughout the country and the
confidence with which the invalid may look
upon the results of its practice in the future.
