A change was required which should dsner..
with all poisonous drugs, and substitute a systa,n
of innocent medication, which would harmonic
with nature, and remove diseases, without the ri,L
of injury to the constitution. For the accomplish
ment Of this object many talented and learned meo
have zcaously labored, and great reform has boon
brought about. Among the champions in mi.
REFORM we believe all are willing to yield the palm
| to DIR. X. Greene, the founder of the Boston
Indian Medical Institute"
! DIR. Greene, after studying the various sy,tom,
of medicine, and finding that they had not the BAD,
of nature, turned his attention to the study If
Natures Laws spent several years in travel and
received much useful information from those chill
dren OF Nature - the cred men of the forest
whose habits and system of medical practice bo
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, DIR. Greene located in Bos
more fully before the public, and his sphere Of use.
fulness enlarged. His Allopathc friends viewed hi,
success with jealous eye and his practice wa,
animadverted upon in one or two of their medical
journals, in no very dignifed 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 Scroftiots Htmors. 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 truthfuness. He 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
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 large number of friends who were
interested in the common cause of humanity
The business the office SO increased that it 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 was crude like
that Of the Indian. but based upon the Indian sys.
tenn, natural principles harmonizing with natu.
raj laws, and avoiding the use of poisonous drugs,
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 an adequate idea of the extent
OF business done at this Institution, the number
Of cures effected although nearly all are 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 un.
expected by the patients and their friends; and the
results in numerous cases of Scroiula, 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 effected at this Institution which
have baffied medical skill elsewhere.
Facts like these cannot be resisted and this prac-
tice must necessarily take precedence in the minds
of the people.
Many clergymen, editors and other professional
gentlemen have visited this Institution, and signi-
fed their entire appreciation of the system of prsc.
tce, and expressed desire that the facts connected
with this treatment should be made known to the
world.
The Institution whose Card is here appended i.
now placed upon firm basis, and is an honor to
the city of Boston, and one to which her citizens
can 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.
