MEDICAL REFORM.

mat a great change has within few wears
been wrought in the practice Of medicine,
no one will pretend 20 deny. 1t Is well known
that the study and learning which has been
for ages lavished upon the use Of mineral
posons, rs medicines, have failed 10 answer
the reasonable expectations Of the public. The
old physicians have abandoned the use Of the
lancet, and have found il necessary 70 reduce
che quantity Of medicine given TO perhaps one
mil uf their original doses but, a. diminishing
Che quantity does not improve the quality, such
"a change can never answer the demands Of sui.
forug mvaids.
A change was required which should dis
pcnse with al poisonous drug, and substitute
a system Of innocent medication. which would
harmonic with nature, and remove diseases,
without the nsk Of injury 10 the constitution.
for TIN accomplishment Of this object, many
talented and learned men have zealously la
bored, and a great reform has been brought
about. Among the champions in this reform,
we believe all are willing TO yield the palm TO
Dr. Il. Greene, The founder Of the e Boston
Indian Medical Institute"
DR.. Greene, after studying the various sys-
tens Of medicine, and finding that they had not
tho basis o. nature, turned his attention to
the study Of Natures Laws spent several
years ia travel. and received much useful in
formation from those children q Nature" -
the rcd mon Of the forest" whose habits and
vcsugatcd, and which has greatly assisted him
IN thc development Of a system, having nature
for its foundation, and science for its super
structure.
About ten years ngo. DR.. Greene located in
Boston, whom the success Of his treatment was
brought more fully before the public, and his
sphere % usefulness enlarged. His Allopathic
friends viewed his success with jealous eve,
and Dis practice was animadvortcd upon in one
or two II their medical journals, in no very
dignihet terms. That he was successful in all
ordinary diseases was admitted but they were
slow 10 believe that he Was able 70 cure Cancer,
and Scfofi0ta Hisg0r,. To convince them and
the public Of his success, he published facts in
regard 90 cures u such cases, giving the names
and residence n such persons who were viii
ling 20 have their names used so that any one
could be satisfied Of their trutlfuness. lie
also preserved specimens OF cancers as they
were removed, that they might be examined
by The doctors or by thc public. Several hun
drcds II these cancers, some Of enormous size,
soon accumulated, having been put up in glass
jHrs, where they have since renamed on oxhi-
hiton NJ HE rooms 36 Bromheld Street. Bos-
ton to which the public have free access.
These inconirovcrtiblo evidences Of success
brought out the press ia his favor and drew
around him large number OF friends who
were interested in tho common cause Of hu-
manity The business at the office 50 increased
that it became necessary 20 relieve Or. Greene
from tho details Of his practice. in order to
make his services available TO a larger portion
Of those applying Tor treatment For this pur-
pose and By the advice and cooperation Of in
huentnl citizens, an organization was formed
under the name Of the " Boston Indian Med
icnl Institute" Not that the practice was
crude like that Of The Indian, but based upon
the Indian system, OF natural principles, har-
moniring with natural laws, and avoiding the
use Of poisonous drugs. UndoI this organiza-
ton the Institution has become the most pop
ular 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 In
stilution, 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 10 many sufferers, and the basis Of
such hope /, a firm one, for it rests upon expe-
rlence, and upon iacts.
Consumption has been treated with success
unexpected by the patients and their fricndsi
mud the results in numerous cases Of Scrofuln,
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Heart Disease
Dropsy Female Complaints Disease Of the
Stomach, Bowels and Kidneys, rheumatism,
ana various other diseases, give confidence to
those convcrsant with the fact, that cures are
effected al this Institution which have balled
medical skill elsewhere.
Facts like these cannot be resisted, and this
practice must necessarily take precedence in
the minds Of the people.
Many clergymcn, editors, and other profess
fional gentlemen, have visited this Institution,
md sni6ed their entire appreciation Of the
system of practice, and expressed a desire that
the facts connected with this treatment should
be made known 10 the world
The Institution, whose Card is here ap-
pended, is now placed upon firm basis. and
Is an honor 10 the city Of Boston, and one to
which her citizens can point with pride, in
Wow 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 future.
