M EDICAL REFORM.

MEDICAL REFORM
That a great change has within a few years
been wrought in the practice of medicine,
no one will pretend to deny. 1t is well known
that the study and learning which has been
for ages lavished upon She use of mineral
poisons, as medicines, have failed to answer
the reasonable expectations of the public. The
old physicians have abandoned the use of the
lancet, and have found it necessary to reduce
the quantity of medicine given to perhaps one
fifth of their original doses but, as diminishing
the quantity does not improve the quality, such
a change can never answer the demands of suf-
tering invalids.
A change was required which should dis
pense with all poisonous drugs, and substitute
a system of innocent medication, which would
harmonize with nature, and remove diseases,
without the risk of injury to the constitution.
For the accomplishment of this object, many
talented and learned men have zealously Ia
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
DIR. r. Greene, the founder of the Boston
Indian Medical Institute
DIR. Greene, after studying the various sys-
tens of medicine, and finding that they had not
the basis of nature, turned his attention to
the study of Natures Laws spent several
years in travel, and received much useful in
formation from those d" children of Nature

system of medical practice he thoroughly in
vestigated, and which has greatly assisted him

for its foundation, and science for its super
structure.
About ten years ago, DR.. Greene located in
Boston, when the success of his treatment was
brought more fully before the public, and his
sphere of usefulness enlarged. His Allopathic
friends viewed his success with a jealous eye,
and his practice was animadverted upon in one
or two Of their medical journals, in no very
digni6ed terms. That he was successful in all
ordinary diseases was admitted but they were
slow to believe that he was able to cure Cancers
and ScrofAous HumorS. 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 were will
ling to have their names used, so that any one
could be satisfied of their truthfulness. He
also preserved specimens of cancers as they
were feino'eo' 'nal .ney might oe eAainnleo

dreds of these cancers, some of enormous size,
soon accumulated, having been put up in glass
jars, where they have since remained on exhi-
bition at his rooms, SO Bromfeld Street, Bos-
ton, to which the public have free access.
these mcontrovertlble evidences OF success
brought out the press In his favor, and drew
around him a large number Of friends who
were interested In the common cause OF hu-
manty. The busines at the office SO increased
that 1t became necessary to relieve Dr. Greene

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
