DR.. +. Greene, the foundas Of the Dostoa
Indian Medical Institute" y r.r
DR.. Greene, after studying the various sys-
TENS Of medicine, and finding that they bad NOT
the basis Of nature, turned his attention 10
the study Of Natures Laws-spent sevcrd
years in travel, and received much useful IN
formation from those " children Of Mature -
the " red men Of the forest" whosc habits and
system Of medical practice he thoroughly in
vestgated. and which has greatly sssiseed him
in the development Of system. having insure
for it, foundation, and science for it, super
structure. fH
About tan years ago. Dr.. Greene located IN
Boston. when the success Of his treatment WIS
brought more fuzzy before the public. and his
sphere of usefulness enlarged. Ills Auopathic
friends viewed his success with Jealous eve,
and his practice was animadvertea upon IN ors
or two Of their medical journals, in nd very
dign.fed terms. Tha: he was successful in ell
ordinary diseases was admitted; but they wsrl
slow to belia lat he was able to cure Ceaces1
and Serofalo,h ia.--sT. To convince them and
the public of his success, he published facts in
regard to cures Of such cases, giving the Nance
and residence Of such persons who were viii >
ling to have their names used. 80 thathny cAc-
could be satisfied of their truthfulncss. lie
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 sire,
soon accumulated, having been put up in glass
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 mcontrovertible evidences of success
brought out the press in his favor, and drew
around him q large number of friends who
were interested in the common cause of hu-
manity. The business at the Office 90 increased
that it became necessary to relieve DR.. Greene
from the details of his practice. in order to
make his services available to larger portioa
Of those applying for treatment. For this pu4-
pose, and by the advice and cooperation Of n.
fuential citizens, an organization was formed
under the name of the {" Boston Indian Nod
ical Institute" Not that the practice was
crude like that of the Indian, but based upoa
the Indian system, or natural principles, haz.
monizing with natural laws, and avoiding ths
use of poisonous drugs. Under this organiza-
ton the Institution has become the most pop
ular Medical Asylum in the country. swhers
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.
stituton, or the number of cures effected, Al
though nearly all are familiar with the fact Of
frequent remarkable operations being per-
formed with the most favorable results. Such
results are not without their Lesson. They
speak hope to many sufferers, and the basis q
such hope is firm one, for it rests upon expe-
renee, and upon facts. @ ~
Consumption has been treated with success
unexpected by the patients and their friends:
and the results in numerous cases Of ScrofSla,
Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Heart Diseaee.
Dropsy, Female Complaints, Di,esDe Of tAs
Stomach, Bowels, and Kidneys, Rheumatism.
and various other diseases, give confidence to
those conversant with the fact, that cures ass
effected at this Institution which have ba4ded
medical skill elsewhere.
Facts like these cannot be resisted, ind thu
practice must necessarily take precedence In
the minds of the people.
Many clergymen, editors. and other profes-
sional gentlemen, have visited this Institution.
and signifed their entire appreciation Of he
system of practice, and expressed desire thst
the facts connected with this treatment should
be made known to the world. sse +.
The Institution, whose Card il here ap-
pended, is 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.
