been wrought III 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 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 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-
ferng invalids.
A change was required which should dis
pense with all poisonous drugs, and substitute
| a system Of innocent m~eulcHuon, which would
| harmonic 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 z~ealously la
| bored, and a great reform has been brought
| about. Among the champions in this reform,
we believe oil are willing to yield the palm to
DR.. r. Greene, the founder of the "Boston
Indian Medical Institute"
DR.. Greene, after studying the various sys-
tems Of medicine, and finding that they had not
the basis Of nature, turned his attention to

years in travel, and received much useful in.
formation from those children Of Nature -
the red men Of the forest" whose habits and
system Of medical practice he thoroughly in
vestigated, and which has greatly assisted him
in the development Of o system, having nature
Tor its foundN 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
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 Scyofutons HQaors. To convince them and
the public of his success, he published facts in
regard to cures Of such cases, giving the anne
and residence Of such persons who were vii
ling to have their names used, so that any one
could be satisfied Of their truthfulness. HI
also preserved specimens of cancers as they
were removed, that they might be examined
by the doctors, or by the public. Several hun.
dreds of these cancers, some of enormous size,
soon accumulated, having been put up in glas,
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 incontrovertible evidences of SUGGEST
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
mainly. The business at the Office so increased
that it became necessary to relieve DR.. Green,
from the details Of his practice, in order tc
make his services available to q larger portion
Of those applying for treatment. For this pur.
pose, and by the advice and cooperation Of in
fuential citizens, an organization was formed
under the name Of the /" Boston Indian Med.
ical Institute" Not that the practice Wal
crude like that of the Indian, but based upon
the Indian system, or natural principles, har-
monizing with natural laws, and avoiding the
use of poisonous drugs. Under this o~rganiza.
ton the Institution has become the most pop
ular 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 extent of business done at this In
%sttution, or the number Of cures effected, al
though nearly all are familiar with the fact o
frequent remarkable operations being per
formed with the most favorable results, Sucl
results are not without their lesson. The!
speak hope to many sufferers, and the basis o
such hope is a firm one, for it rests upon expe
rience, and upon facts.
Consumption has been treated with a success
unexpected by the patients and their friend.
and the results in numerous cases Of Scrofula
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Heart Disease
Dropsy, Female Complaints, Disease Of tn
Stomach, Bowels, and Kidneys, Rheumatism
and various other diseases, give confidence t
those conversant with the fact, that cures ar
effected at this Institution which have battle
medical skill elsewhere.
Facts like these cannot be resisted, and thi
practice must necessarily take precedence il
the minds Of the people.
Many clergymen, editors, and other profes
sional gentlemen, have visited this Institution
and signi6ed their entire appreciation of til
system of practice. and expressed Ii desire tina
the facts connected with this treatment shout
be made known to the world.
The Institution, whose Card is here ap
pended, is now placed upon a firm basis, an
is an honor to the city Of Boston, and one {
which her citizens can point with pride, i
view Of the vast amount of relief it has afforde
to sufferers throughout the country, and til
confidence with which the invalid may loo
