MEDICAL REFORM.


That great change has within a few yenrs 49,
wrought in the practice of medicine, no ono ,,n
pretend to deny 1t is well known that tho s,ua

The old physicians have abandoned the use Of t5a
lancet. and have found it necessary TO reduce W.

their original doses; but, as diminishing the q,ant,

never answer the demands Of suffering invalids.
A change was required which should disncn.,
with all poisonous drugs and substitute a syscr
of innocent medication, which would harmoni,n
with nature, and remove Diseases without the ri.L
of injury TO the constitution. For the accomplisb
ment of this object many talented and learned mon
have sealousy labored, and great reform has been
brought about. Among the champions in Nh,
reform, we believe all willing to yield the naln
to DIR. X. Greene the founder of the "Boston
Indian Medical Institute"
DR.. Greene, after studying the various svstoro.
of medicine, and finding that they had not the has,
of nature, turned his attention to the study &c
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 bs
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,.
tom when the success of his treatment was brougb,
more fully before the public, and his sphere Of ue
fulness enlarged. His Allopathc friends viewed bs
success with jealous eye and his practice was
animadverted upon in one or two of their medical
journals, in no very dignihed terms. That he wa,
successful in all ordinary diseases was admitted,
but they were slow to believe that he was able to
cure Cancers and Scroftlous Hnno,S To convince
them and the public of his success, he published
farfa in nrd to 6
names and residence of such persons who were
willing to have their names used, so that any one
could be satisfied of their truthflness. 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 Bromhcld 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 so 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 was crude like
TEN. natural principles, harmonzing with nsu.
raj laws. and avoiding the 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 adequate idea of the extent
of business done at this Institution, or the number
of 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 of Scrofua. Liver Com
plant, Dyspepsia, Heart Disease, Dropsy, Female
Complaints. Disease of the Stomach Bowels and
Kidneys rheumatism, and various other disease
give confidence TO those conversant with the fact
that cures are 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 piac-
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. is
now placed upon firm basis, and is an honor to
the city Of Boston, and to which her citizens
point with pride, in view of the vast amount
of relief it has afforded to sufferer. throughout the
country, and the confidence with which the invalid
may look upon the results of its practice in the
