MEDICAL REFORM.


That great change has within few years hoor
wrought in the practice Of medicine, no one will
pretend to deny. 1t is well known that the s,udv
and learning which has been for ages layished uno1
the use Of mineral poisons as medicines have failed
10 answer the reasonable expectations of the public
The old physicians have abandoned the use of tho
lancet and have found it necessary to reduce the
ounntity of medicine given to perhaps one.ffth Of
their original doses but, diminishing the quantity
does not improve the quality, such change can
never answer the demands of suffering invalids.
change was required which should dispense
with all poisonous drugs, and substitute a system
of innocent medication, which would harmonic
with nature, and remove diseases, without the risk
of injury to the constitution. For the accomplish
ment of this object, many talented and learned men
have zealousy labored, and great reform has been
brought about. Among the champions in this
reform, we believe all are willing to yield the palm
to DIR. X. Greene, the founder Of the " Boston
Indian Medical Institute"
DR.. Greene, after studying the various systems
of medicine, and finding that they had not the bas,
of nature, turned his attention to the study of
Natures Laws - spent several years in travel and
received much useful information from those chill
dren of Nature - the "red men Of the forest"
whose habits and system of medical practice he
thoroughly investigated, and which has greatly
assisted him in the development of a system having
nature for its foundation and science for its super
structure.
About ten years ago. DIR. Greene located in Bos
tom when the success of his treatment was brought
more fully before the public, and his sphere of
fulness enlarged His Allopathic friends viewed his
success with jealous eye, and his practice was
animadverted upon in one or two of their medical
journals, in very dignifcd terms. That he was
successful in all ordinary diseases was admitted;
but they were slow to believe that he able TO
cure Cancers and Scrofiiios Hmors. To convince
them and the public of his success, he published
facts in regard to of such cases. giving the
names and residence of such persons who were
willing to have their names used, so that any one
could be satisfied of their truthfulness He also pre-
served specimens of cancers they 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 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 a 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 available
to larger portion of those applying for treatment
For this purpose and by the advice and cooperation
of influential citizens, an organization was formed
under the name of the Boston Indian Medical
Institute" Not that the practice crude like
that of the Indian but based upon the Indian sys-
tenn or natural principles harmonizing with naiI-
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 daily received and successfully
treated for all the various ills Of the human family
But few people have adequate idea of the extent
of business done at this Institution the number
Of cures effected, although nearly all familiar
with the fact of frequent remarkable operations
being performed with the most favorable results.
Such results 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 I'M
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 effected at this Institution " ch
have baffed medical skill elsewhere.
Facts like these cannot be resisted, and this prac
tice must necessarily take precedence in the minds
of the people.
Many clcrgymen, editors, and other professional
gentlemen, have visited this Institution and sign-
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 the
world.
The Institution whose Card is here appended, is
now placed upon firm basis and is an honor to
the city of Boston, and one TO which her citizens
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
future
