MEDICAL REFORM.


That great change has within few years no.
wrought in the practice of medicine, no ono wi;
pretend to deny. II is well known that the ,,,J
and learning which has bcc1, for ages layished rsy
the use of mineral poisons as medicines have sloa
to answer the reasonable expectations Of the multi
The old physicians have abandoned the use Of H.
lancet and have found 1t necessary to reduce u
quantity of medicine given to perhaps one.6Nb ~
their original doses but, as diminishing the ququt,
does not improve the quality, such change ca
never answer the demands Of suffering invalils,
A change was required which should disner.,
with all poisonous drugs, and substitute syse,
of innocent medication, which would harmon,,
with nature, and remove diseases, without the r,L
of injury to the constitution. For the accomplisb
mcnt of this object, many talented and learned men
have zcaously labored and great reform has bo,r
brought about. Among the champions in MI,
REFORM believe all are willing to yield the balm
to DIR. II. Greene, the founder of the :" Boston
Indian Medical Institute"
DIR. Greene, after studying the various system,
of medicine, and finding that they had not the ba'
of nature, turned his attention to the study ~
Natures Laws - spent several years in travel AMI
received much useful information from those chi
dren of Nature +" - the cred men Of the forrest
whose habits and system Of medical practice h.
thoroughly investigated, and which has greatly
assisted him in the development of system, hayin,
nature for its foundation, and science for its SUPER
structure.
About ten years ago, DIR. Greene located in RE.
ton, when the success Of his treatment was brouyb,
more fully before the public, and his sphere of e
fulness enlarged. His Alopathic friends Viewed HI
success with n jealous eye, and his practice wa,
animadvcrtcd upon in one or two of their medical
! journals, in no very dignfed terms. That he wa,
successful in all ordinary diseases was admitted.
but they were slow to believe that he was able IN
cure Cancers and Scyofuiou, Humors. To convinec
them and the public of his success, he published
. tnpt Ia,
names and residence Of such persons who wcrc
willing to have their names used, SO that any On
could be satisfied of their truthfulness. lie also pre-
served specimens of cancers as 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, 36 Bromield Street
Boston, to which the public have free access.
These incontrovcrtible evidences of success
brought out the press in his favor, and drew
around him large number Of friend, who were
interested in the common cause Of humanity
The business at the Office increased that it became
necessary to relieve DR.. Greene from the details Of
his practice in order to make his services available
TO a larger portion of those applying for treatment
For this purpose and by the advice and cooperation
of inhu initial citizens. an organization formed
undcr the name OF the Boston Indian Medical
Institute" Not that the practice was crude like
that of the Indian but based upon the Indian ,ys-
tenn, or natural principles, harmOnizing with na;u-
raj laws. and avoiding the use of poisonous drugs
Under this organization the Institution has becom.
the most popular Medical Asylum in the country,
where patients 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 ut this Institution, or the number
of cures effected, although nearly all are famila,
with the fact Of frequent remarkable operations
being performed with the most favorable results
Such results are not without their lesson. They
speak hope to many sufferers, and the basis of such
hope is firm one, for 1t rests upon experience and
upon facts.
Consumption has been treated with a success un.
expected by the patients and their friends and the
results in numerous cases Of Scrofula, Liver Com
plant Dyspepsia, Heart Disease, Dropsy, FcmalC
complaints, Disease of the Stomach Bowels and
Kidneys, rheumatism, and various other disease
give confidence to those convorsant with the fac,
that cures are effected at this Institution whici
have bafiled medical skill elsewhere.
Facts like these cannot be resisted, and this prac
tice must necessarily take precedence in the mind.
Of the people.
Many clergymtn, editors and other professions
gentlemen, lave visited this Institution and sign
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 tn
world.
The Institution. Whose Card is here appended, i
now placed upon a finn basis, and is m honor L
the city of Boston. and one to which her citizen
can point with pride in view of the vast amour
of relief has afforded to sufferers throughout tn
country, and the confidence with which the inval
may look upon the results of its practice in III
future. ---
