MEDICAL REFORM,

MEDICAL REFORM,
That great change has within few yeais
been wrought IN the practice Of medicine.
10 OheNn pretend toAny. It IS veil known
that - ssndy and learning which has been
for Aees lavfshed 1pon the sase of mineral
poisons, as medicines, have failed to answer
Ae reasonable expectstions of the public. The
old physicians have abandoned the use of the
hnoet, aid haze found it necessary to reduce
the qnan6ty of medicine given to perhaps one
fifth II their original doses; but, as diminishing
the exontity does not improve the quality. such
q chaage can never answer the demands Of SUIT
fering invalids.
A change was required which Aaould Dis.
pehss With all poisonous drugs and substitute
. system of innocent medication, 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 hav xealously h
bored, and great rikotaa has been brought
about. Among ne xAanpionf 81 this reform,
we believe all are wiling to yield the palm to
Dr.. r. Greene. fAe founder Of the boston
Indian Medical Institute~
Or. Greene, after studying the various svs-
TENS Of nnedieae. and finding that they had not

slow to belize rat ne was able TO care Cancers
and ScrcfxI0,s ess'',s's. TO convince them and
the pubic OF his success he published facts IN
regard to cures OF saach eases, giving the names
and residence ct such persons who were WI
ling to have their naIaes used, SO chat any one
could be SATISFIED OF their truthfulness. . He
also preserved specimens OF cancers as they
were removed, that they might be examined
BY the doctors or ~ the public. Severed hum
dreds Of these cancers, some of enormous size,
soon accumulated, having been put up in glass
Jars, where they nave since renamed on exhi-
blaon at his rooms, SO Bromtield Street, Bos-
ton, to which the public have free access.
These mcontrovertible evidences Of success
brought out the press In his favor, and drew
around hun large number OF friends who
were interested In the common cause of hui
mainly. The business at the office so increased
. tnat It becaWe necessary to relieve Dr.. Greene
nom the details OF his practice, In order to-
make his services available to larger portion
OF those spplymg for treatment. For this pur-
pose and BY the advice and cooperation of IN
duential citizens, an organization was formed
under the name of the :" Boston Indian Med
acd Institute. Not that the practice was
crude hike that Of the Indian, but based upon
the Indian system, or natural principles, har-
lmonizing with natural laws, and avoiding the
use of poisonous drugs. Under this orsaniza-
ton the Institution has become the most pop
ular Medical Asylum u the country .swhere
patients are daily received and successfully
treated for all the various ills OF the human
family.S But few people have an adequate
idea OF the extent OF business done at this In
stitution, or the numoer OF cures effected, al
though nearly all are familiar with the fact OF
frequent remarkable operations beng per-
formed with the most favorable results. Such
