MEDICAL REFORM

That great change has within few years boor
wrought in the practice Of medicine, no one viii
pretend to deny. 1t is well known that the s.wdu
and learning which has been for ages lavished unoy
the Of mineral poisons, as medicines, have failed
TO answer the reasonable expectations of the public
The old physicians have abandoned the use Of H.
lancet, and have found it necessary to reduce tbo
quantity Of medicine given to perhaps one-fhh n
their original doses but diminishing the qant,,a
does not improve the quality, such change cnn
never answer the demands OF suffering invalids.
A change WINS required which should dispenso
with all poisonous drugs, and substitute a systrr0
of innocent medication, which would harmonic
with nature, and remove diseases, without the mi
Of injury to the constitution. For the accomplish.
mcnt of this object, many talented and learned men
have zealously abored, and great reform has been
brought about. Among the champions in thia
reform, we believe all willing to yield the palm
to DR.. Il. Greene, the founder of the "Bosion
Indian Medical Institute"
DR.. Greene, after studying the various sy,tor,.
Of medicine, and finding that they had not the ba,
of nature, turned his attention to the study Of
Natures Laws spent several years in travel and
received much useful information from those chill
dren of Nature - the "red men of the forest
whose habits and system of medical practice bo
thoroughly investigated, and which has grea,lv
assisted him in the development Of system hayin,
nature for its foundation and science for its super
structure.
ton. when the success of his treatment was brought
more fully before the public, and his sphere Of use
fulness enlarged. His Alopathic friends viewedh,
success with jealous eye, and his practice wa
animadverted upon in one or two of their medical
journals, in no very dignifed terms. That he wa.
successful in all ordinary diseases was admitted.
but they were slow to believe that he was able ia
cure Cancers and Scroftious HIniors. To convince
them and the public of his success, he published
facts in regard to cures of such cases, giving the
names and residence of such persons who wen
willing to have their names used, SO that any one
could be satisfied of their truthfulness He also pre-
served specimens Of cancers they removed
that they might be examined by the doctors, or BY
the public Several hundreds Of these cancers some
Of enormous size, soon accumulated, having been
put up in glass jars where they have since remained
on exhibition at his rooms, SO Bromfeld Street
Boston, to which the public have free access
These incontrovertble evidences of success
brought out the press in his favor, and drew
around him a large number of friends who were
interested in the common cause of humanity.
The business at the office increased that it became
necessary to relieve DIR. Greene from the details Of
his practice, in order to make his services available
to larger portion of those applying for treatment
For this purpose, and by the advice and cooperation
Of influential citizens an organization was formed
under the name of the " Boston Indian Medical
Institute" Not that the practice was crude Ike
that of the Indian but based upon the Indian sy@
TEN. or natural principles, harmonizing with nau.
raj laws and avoiding the use of poisonous drug,
Under this organization the Institution has become
the most popular Medical Asylum in the country,
where patients are daily received and successfully
treated for all the various ills of the human family
But few people have an adequate idea Of the extent
of business done at this Institution, the numbe,
of cures effected. although nearly all are famiia,
with the fact of frequent remarkable operations
being performed with the most favorable results
Such results not without their lesson. They
speak hope to many sufferers, and the basis Of such
hope is firm one, for it rests upon experience and
upon facts.
Consumption has been treated with success ur.
expected by the patients and their friends; and the
results in numerous cases Of Scrofula, Liver Com.
plant, Dyspepsia, Heart Disease Dropsy, Female
Complaints Disease of the Stomach, Bowels and
Kidneys, rheumatism, and various other disease.
give confidence to those conversant with the fact;
that are effected at this Institution which
have bafied medical skill elsewhere.
Facts like these cannot be resisted and this prac-
tce must necessarily take precedence in the minds
of the people.
Many clergymen, editors, and other professional
gentlemen, have visited this Institution and signi.
fed their entire appreciation Of the system of prac
tee and expressed desire that the facts connected
with this treatment should be made known to the
world
The Institution, whose Card is here appended is
now placed upon finn basis, and is an honor to
the city of Boston, and to which her citizens
can point with pride, in view of the vast amour.
of relief it 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.
