MEDICAL REFORM

That great change has within few vesr,
wrought in the practice Of medicine no or ose g
pretend to deny. II is well known that the s,v5l
and learning which has been for ages layisbed 'uuy
the use of mineral poisons, as medicines bnve fR9
to answer the reasonable expectations of the nuiiu
The old physicians have abandoned the use NJ ~
lancet, and have found it necessary TO reduco n
quantity Of medicine given to perhaps one-fftb -
their original doses but, diminishing the o,.an,
does not improve the quality, such a change 90.
never answer the demands Of suffering nvalids 'N'
change was required which should dsner,.
with all poisonous drugs, and substitute a sys,ns
of innocent medication, which would harmoniya
with nature, and remove diseases, without the rial
OF injury to the constitution. For the accomplish
ment of this object many talented and learned mon
have zealously abored, and great reform has been
brought about. Among the champions in mi,
reform, believe all willing to yield the pan
to DIR. II. Greene, the founder of the Boston
Indian Medical Institute"
DIR. Greene after studying the various sv,tcr0,
of medicine, and finding that they had not the b,i
of nature, turned his attention to the studv -
Natures Laws spent several years in travel, and
received much useful information from those q" chill
dren of Nature - the "red men of the force,
whose habits and system Of medical practice bs
thoroughly investigated, and which has greatly
assisted him in the development Of system, HAVING
nature for its foundation and science for its sper
structure.
About ten years ago, DIR. Greene located in Bo,.
ton when the success of his treatment was brougb,
more fully before the public, and his sphere Of use
funess enlarged. His Allopathic friends viewed nj,
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 was
successful in all ordinary diseases was admitted
but they were slow to believe that he was able N
cure Cancers and ScrofitLots Humors. To convince
them and the public of his success he published
facts in regard to cures of such cases, giving Tho
e .,,l
willing to have their names used, 50 that any ono
could be satisfied of their truthuness. He also pre-
served specimens of cancers they were removed
that they might be examined by the doctors, OF 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 Bromfeld Street
Boston, to which the public have free access.
These incontrovertible evidences Of success
brought out the press in his favor, and drew
around him 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 Dr. Greene from the details Of
his practice, in order to make his services avast
to larger portion of those applying for treatmen
For this purpose and by the advice and cooperation
of influential citizens, organization was formed
under the name of the 81 Boston Indian Medical
Institute" Not that the practice crude like
that of the Indian, but based upon the Indian sys-
raj laws, and avoiding the of poisonous drugs.
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 adequate idea Of the extern,
of business done at this Institution, the number
of cures effected, although nearly all are familiar
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 it rests upon experience, and
upon facts.
Consumption has been treated with success un.
expected by the patients and their friends and the
results in numerous cases of Serofula, Liver Com
plant, Dyspepsia, Heart Disease, Dropsy Female
Complaints, Disease of the Stomach, Bowels, and
Kidneys, rheumatism, and various other diseases,
give confidence TO those conversant with the fact,
that cures are effected at this Institution which
have baffied medical skill elsewhere.
Facts like these cannot be resisted, and this prac-
tice 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-
tice, 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 q 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 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
