MEDICAL REFORM

That great change has within few years boor
wrought in the practice Of medicine, no one will
pretend to deny. 1t is well known that the stdu
and learning which has been for ages lavshcd unoy
the use of mineral posons, as medicines have failed
to answer the reasonable expectations of the publ
The old physicians have abandoned the use of ,bo
lancet, and have found it necessary to reduce the
quantity Of medicine given to perhaps one-fnh ~
their original doses but, diminishing the o,ant
does not improve the quality, such change can
never answer the demands of suffering invads
A change was required which should dspenso
with all poisonous drugs, and substitute system
Of innocent medication which would harmonic
with nature, and remove diseases, without the ri.k
Of injury to the constitution. For the accomplish
mcnt of this object many talented and learned men
have zeaously labored, and great reform has been
brought about. Among the champions in tbis
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 systoro,
Of medicine, and finding that they had not the ba,
of nature, turned his attention to the study Of
Natures Laws spent several years in travel and
received much useful information from those "cbf.
dren of Nature" - the cred men of the fores,
whose habits and system of medical practice h.
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 Bo,.
ton, when the success Of his treatment was brought
more fully before the public and his sphere of uSe
funess enlarged. His Allopathic friends viewed his
success with jealous eye, and his practice wa,
animadverted upon in one two of their medical
journals, in very dgnihed terms. That he wa,
successful in all ordinary diseases was admitted:
but they slow TO believe that he was able tn
cure Cancers and Scrofulous Hi1noys 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 truthfulness. He also pre-
served specimens Of cancers they were removed.
that they might be examined by the doctors or by
the public Several hundreds Of these cancers soma
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 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, organization 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
TEN, or natural principles, harmonizing with n,;l-
raj laws, and avoiding the of poisonous dtur
Under this organization the Institution has become
the most popular Medical Asylum III 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 Institution, the number
Of cures effected although nearly all arc familiar
with the fact of frequent remarkable operations
being performed with the most favorable results
Such results are not without their lesson. 1ley
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 Scrofula, Liver Com
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 baffed medical skill elsewhere.
Facts like these cannot be resisted and this prac-
tice must necessarily take precedence i'll the minds
Of the people.
Many clergymen, editors, and other professional
fled their entire appreciation of the system of prac
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
TIE city Of Boston, and one to which her citzons
can point with pride, in view of the vast amour,
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 i'll the
future.
