M EDICAL REFORM.


That great change has within few wears hos,
wrought in the practice of medicine no one will
pretend to deny. 1t is well known that the s,ud,,
and learning which has been for ages lavishpd uno;
the use Of mineral poisons, as medicines, have failed
to answer the reasonable expectations of the public
The old physicians have abandoned the use of tbo
lancet, and have found it necessary to reduce flo
quantity of medicine given to perhaps onc-Rnh ~
their original doses but, diminishing the otani;,
does not improve the qtdhty, such change can
never answer the demands of suffering nvalids.
change was required which should dispense
with all poisonous drugs, and substitute n system
of innocent medication, which would harmonic
with nature, and remove diseases without the risk
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 thiq
reform, we believe all willing to yield the palm
to DIR. X. Greene, the. founder of the % Boston
Indian Medical Institute"
DIR. Greene, after studying the various svstons
of medicine, and finding that they had not The ba.,

received much useful information from those chill

whose habits and system of medical practice he
thoroughly investigated, and which has greatly
assisted him in the development Of system having
nature for its foundation, and science for its super
structure.
About ten years ago, Dr. Greene located in Bos

fulness enlarged. His Alopathic friends viewed hi,
success with jealous eye, and his practice was
anmadvcrtcd upon in one or two of their medical
journals, in no very digned terms. That he was
successful in all ordinary diseases was admitted;
but they slow to believe that he was able to
cure Cancers and Scyof,iom Huoo,s. 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 wcro
willing to have their names used, so that any one
could be satisfied of their truthfulncss lie also pre-
served specimens of cancers as they were removed
that they might be examined by the doctors, or By
the public. Several hundreds of these cancers some

Boston, to which the public have free access.
These incontrovcrtiblc 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 i, became
necessary to relieve DIR. Greene from thu 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 pa1aton
Of influential citizens AN organization formed
under the name of the " Boston Indian Medical
Institute" Not that the practice was crude l.es
that Of the Indian. but based upon the Indian ~
tenn or natural principles, harmonizng with ra.u-
raj laws. and avoiding the of poisonous IL it.
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 tn cXtut
of business done at this Institution. the humber
Of cures effected, although nearly all aIc familiar
with the fact Of frequent remarkable operations
being performed with the most favorable results.
Such results not without their lesson 1lcv
speak hope to many sufferers, and the basis Of such
hope is firm one, for It rests upon experience, ard
upon facts.
Consumption has been treated with success un-
expected by the patients and their friends; and tic
results in numerous of Suofula. Livcr Com

Complaints. Disease of the Ston ath, Bowels. and
Kidneys, Rheumatism, and various other diseases,

that cures are effected at this Institution Itch
have baffled medical skill elsewhere.
Facts like these cannot be resisted and this pIac-
ticc must necessarily take procodnc in the minds
of the people.
Many clergymen, editors, and other professional
gentlemen have visited this Institution, and sgni-
fed their entire appreciation of the system Of prac-

world.
