That great change has within q few year.
been wrought in 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 o. the public. The
cd phvs;aians have abandoned the use of the
lancet, and have found It necessary to reduce
the quantity OF medicine given to perhaps cne-
filth OF their original doses; but. as diminishing
the quantity does not improve the qualify, such
a chance can never answer the demands Of sui.
faring inyalids.
A change was required which should dis
pense with all poisonous drugs, and substitute
a system Of innocent medication, which would
harn,onize with nature, and remove diseases,
without the risk of injury 10 the constitution.
For the accomplishment Of this object. many
talented and learned men hav aeaiously Ia
bored, and a great reform has been brought
about. Among the champions n this reform,
we believe ali are wiling to yield the palm TO
DR.. L. Greene, the founder ST Tie 9 boston
Indian Medical Institute
DR.. Greene, after studying the various sys-
tens Of medicine and finding that they had not
the basis Of nature, turned his attention to
the study OF Natures Laws Is spent several
wears in travel, and received much useful in
formation from those " "childrcn of Nature -
the cred 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 a system, having nature
for its foundation, and science Tor Its super
structure.
About ten years ago, Dr. Greene located in
Boston, when the success Of lis treatment was
brought more fully before the public. and his
sphere Of usefulness enlarged. Ills Allopathic
friends viewed his success with Il jealous eye,
and his practice was aninadverted upon IN one
or two of their medical journals, in no very
aiglifed terms. That he was successful IN all
ordinary diseases was admitted; bat they were
slow to bclis q .aat he was able to cure Cancers
and Scrciuloq, ,ss--.s-s To convince them and
the public OF his success, he published facts in
regard to cure; OF such cases, giving the names
and residence of such persons who were VIII
Eng 10 have their names used, so that 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 by the public. Several hun
dredS OF these cancers, some OF enormous size,
soon accumulated, having been put up in glass
jars, where they have since remained on exhi-
bit;on at his rooms, 36 Bromfeld Street, Bos-
ton, to which the public have free access.
brought out the press in his favor. and drew
. around him large number Of friends who
We're interested il the common cause Of hu-
Eanity. 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 70 larger portion
Of those applying for treatment. For this pur-
pose, and by the advice and cooperation OF IN
fluential citizens, an organization was formed
under the name of the IS Boston Indian Med
ical institute" Not tha: the practice was
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 organiza-
ton the Institution has become the most pop
ular 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 In
stitution, Or the number of cures effected, al
though nearly all are familiar with the fact of
frequent rcmarkaGle operations being per-
formed with the most favorable results. Such
iesults are not without their lesson. They
s2cal. hope to many sufferers, and the basis of
such hope IS finn Cne, for It rests upon cxpe-
rience, and upon facts.
Consumption has been treated with success
unexpected by the patients and their friends;
and Tie results l. numerous cases of Scrofula,
Liver Complaint Dyspepsia, Heart Disease,
Dropsy, Female Complaints, Disease of the
Stomach, Bowels, and Kidneys, Rheumatism,
and various other diseases, give confidence to
those convarSant with the fact that cures are
effected at this institution which have bafled
medical skill elsewhere.
Facts like these cannot be resisted, and this
p-actice must necessarily take precedence in
the minds OF the people.
Many clorgyrncn, editors, and other profess
sional gentlemen, have visited this Institution,
and signifed their entire appreciation of the
system of practice. and expressed desire that
the facts connected with this treatment should
be made known to the world.
The Institution, whose Card is here sp-
pended, is now placed upor q 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 relisf it has afforded
TO sufferers throughout the country, and the
confidence with which the invalid may look
upon the results Of IFS practice in the future.
