MEDICAL REFORM

Ia - ~ ~ n IL Il " ~ III
That great change has within few years hoo.
wrought in the practice of medicine, no one viii
pretend TO deny. 1t is well known that the stud.
and learning which has been for ages lavishcd ,noy
the use Of mineral posons, medicines, have faioS
10 answer the reasonable expectations of the puhl
The old physicians have abandoned the use of n.
lancet, and have found 1t necessary to reduce nv
quantity of medicine given to perhaps one-6hh Of
their original doses but as diminishing the ouan,
does not improve the quality, such change csS
never answer the demands of suffering invalids
A change was required which should dspor,,
with all poisonous drugs, and substitute systeN
Of innocent medication, which would harmonic
with nature, ard remove diseases, without the f,L
Of injury to the constitution. For the accomplish
ment of this object, many talented and learned men
have zealously labored, and great reform has been
brought about. Among the champions in mi,
reform, we believe all are willing to yield the palm
to DIR. II. Greene, the founder Of the Boston
Indian Medical Institute
DIR. Greene, after studying the various sv,,or,,
Of medicine, and finding that they had not the b,s,
of nature, turned his attention to the study =,
Natures Laws - spent several years in travel arJ
received much useful information from those "chn.
drer of Nature the "red men Of the forns, .
whose habits and system Of medical practice h.
thoroughly investigated and which has prpot,
assisted him in the development of system, Rayin,
nature for its foundation, and science for its super.
structure.
About ten years ago, DR.. Greene located in boz.
ton, when the success Of his treatment broupb,
fully before the public, and his sphere Of use
fulness enlarged His Allopathic friends viewed nj,
success with a Jealous eye and his practice va,
anmadverted upon in one or two of their medical
journals, in no very dignihed 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 Scrofulous Humors. To convince
them and the public of his success, he published
4. To-. IL g.. - l.
names and residence of such persons who were
willing to have their names used, so that any on,
could be satisfied of their truthfulncss. lie also DE,
served specimens Of cancers they were 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 Stree,
Boston, to which the public have free access.
These incontroverhble 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 ut the Office SO increased that 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, organization was formed
under the name of the Boston Indian Medical
Institute" Not that the practice crude like
TEN, or natural principles, harmonizing with nsl.
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 e1tn,
Of business done at this Institution, the numbei
Of cures effected, although nearly all 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 a success IN.
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 diseases,
give confidence to those conversant with the fact,
that cures are effected at this Institution which
have bafled 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 sgn.
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 th(
world.
The Institution, whose Card is here appended, i
now placed upon firm basis, and is an honor 4
the city of Boston. and TO which her citizen
can point with pride, in view of the vast amour
Of relief it has afforded to sufferers throughout ihs
country, and the confidence with which the invalid
may look upon the results of its practice III tx
