OF course the general reader has but lit

courage that permits physicians to prac
Use In accordance with that which they
know to be rational and right.
One OF the first things that meets and
astounds the medical students of to-day is
/ the knowledge that men of worldwide re.
nown in the past died from causes that at
Ine present time would be called simple,
ana that would not for a moment involve
the question of life or death. What was
ia the realm of uncertainty and doubt
then Is clear as the sunlight now, and the
practitioner proceeds at once to combat a
disease that in the earlier DAYS he would
stand before in helpless amaze
Ofears ago it was thought that anyIyoung
man could tit himself for this highest of all
professions on earth, next to the ministe-
RAJ, and 1T is even now questioned whether
the true physician ought not to stand side
by side even with it.

here peglns the very first starting point
OF vantage with this great Polypathic
School OF practise, for its chief opponents
are men who from natural and overpow-
ering sympathy with all forms of disease
qulckened sense, surely and with deter
mination, the exact cause of all that makes
life burden to thousands all over the
land. The highways of medical practise
are strewn with the wrecks of wrong dag
Inosis, with the going out of innumerable
lives because OF improper location of dis
ease, far more than from the use of RENE
dies of themselves hurtful. Here Polypa-
thy plants its foot firmly down and de-
clares that not alone the instructive, keen
sense OF its consulting chief should be
taken as tinality, but that what he de-
termines is the real trouble, with all the
causes that led him to the clear conclusion,
shall be placed before the full faculty of
the Institute and his judgment meet their
approval.
The grand and distinguishing first step
then in this system is the accurate and alb
solute determining of that which is, and
is not, at war with the natural current of
your life, and when that is done to find
the means of quick and sure removal.
Do not undervalue the astounding i'm
portance of this first point, for upon it de-
Ponds all of this earth to you, for without
health in its perfect flow the brightness
soon fades from your sight and neither
green grass or the song of birds, neither

winds in the tree branches, or the hurtling
If icy blasts in the winter have power
either to charm with the beauty of the one
)r to impress with the irresponsible power
Of the other. So then starting out in an
swer to the first cry of the despairing the
Polypaths come with the question first of
all-What is the matter? followed by the
quick certain decision, and then the ad-
iustment of remedies exactly suited to
your case without need of hesitation or
doubt, but with firm, decided, onward
attack upon the physical enemy, with no
rest until victory is, achieved, and you
stand among your fellows, free from the
chains that have fettered you for years
and prevented your achieving that success
in life that your natural and acquired en-
dowments had led you to expect in your
race with your fellows in your chosen
walk of life.
ing now understood, and the location and
nature of disease being fully determined,
then comes the question as to the proper
remedies to apply. If you ask the ques-
ton aloud so that all the medical fraterni-
ty can hear, the answer will come from one
great body of men, Take this, for is it
not laid down in our books for all cases
such as you describe? 2" but instantly from
another large body of men comes the pro-
test, mo! no! what we have in this little
vial is what you must take, for is it not so
determined by our schools, and are we not
from that which is set to our hands to do"
And then, one could fancy babel of sound
from smaller groups, Offering everything
on earth, all protesting that their rem
edies must be used, because it is so laid
down in their many systems.
Right here comes in Polypathy and asks
one after the other, docs your remedy Of
ten failY' and the disappointing answer
comes" Oh, yes but then it is so laid down
in our law, and it is simple heresy to step
aside from its dictates" Press them lit
tie further, .and. you will get the lament

would let the sufferer die rather than that
he should be saved by thesrational use of
any other than their own iron-bound
methods
This environment of the several schools
has been from the very earliest years
down to recent period the one unsur-
mountable bar to the strong and sure bat
tie with an enemy that should never have
been considered uncomfortable. because
in the light of the wisdom of these later
days nearly all forms of disease, if cared
for in proper time, will yield to the scien-
tific and natural treatment of the most ad-
vanced scholars, who use with a strong
hand all the agencies that are now happily
within our reach.
The Polypaths go into the vast fields of
medical properties and find in each that
which in certain conditions never fails,and
they accept and adopt in accordance with
TINS clear principle and apply with that
confidence that long experience has
taught them to be well-nigh infallible.
Bound down by no special school of simple
theory, having no special system to main
tain, they enter the realm of Polypathy
and apply to your special case that which
science and intuitive knowledge has
taught with unerring skill to be specially
designed for you. They enter the field of
Surgery and rob it of much of its terrors by
proclaiming that many cases heretofore
were placed under the knife of the opera
tor now yield TO the later discoveries and
are eradicated from the system without
shock or danger, reducing the necessity of
using the knife by more than one-half
from what was absolutely essential in even
recent years by the old systems.
