Weekly graphic. [volume] (Kirksville, Adair Co., Missouri) 1880-1949, 1893-06-30


conferred by me with the title
Diplomat in Osteopathy.
A. I. Still.
Pres, Amer. School of Osteopa.
thy.-Given at Kirksville, Mo.
this the l3 day Of March. I993.'
Then what am I now abused
about? Nothing! oh, nothing, of
course! Only, l will not leave
Kirksville. Not only this place,
but Mo-, La. and Kan. Well, DR..
A. [. Still has always fused at
some body. 1t is his nature. BE
ls fussing at the Medical Drs.
l never was in favor Of abusing
any body; and when he wanted to
oppose the physicians l always
voted against 1t in the lecture
room. They are gentlemen and
are doing good work, l hope; and
when can't rise on my own mer-
its, l won't try to on that of an
other. If the NJ. DIS would give
him these three States. or posi-
bly, royalty of 20 per cent Of all
they make, he would doubtless
not abuse them.
] believe III freedom, not only
OF the whites and blacks, but also
of students. After a yourg man
receives his diploma he has spert
enough, instead OF tying himself
to any man or school for the re.
malnder of his life to pay a royal
ty. Still might have had lesisla-
ton pertaining to the school of
Osteopathy bad he not started out
to down some one else. DR.. Still
once practioed medicine, then a
magnetic healer and cured by
laying on of handa." And final
ly, about E years ago, Osteopathy.
Why, DIR. Still. should YOU do
this? You ask me to stick to nv
first love and not smile at anoth
er. Why, SIT, i'd you not do the
same? You found your last love
to be the best. Truly. And here
you stop becoming fossilized ard
imagine You have it all; while l
practice Osteol athy and i'll addi-
ton use baths Of various kinds.
Osteopathy is good as far as it
goes, but when l find anything to
help me cure people, shall new
er stop to ask, is it according to
DR.. Stills idea. or is it taught in
the American School of Oste-
opathy? [ some times think (but
never say) that it is possible all
the intellect is not In the Ameri-
can School of Osteopatny. I find
IN 1871 Prof. Joseph Rodes Blu.
chanan. NJ. D., now in Los An
geles, Cal. the father of of Elec-
tlclan in America, wrote a book.
Then 1t is 90 years since the same
principles. and more, were set
forth by him as is taught in the
American School Of Osteopathy.
The world has had a few natural
bone se,ters that cured thousands
OF people. And for ary man to
think he is the embodiment of all
wisdom of all ages, and dictate to
all people how to What to do.
You do as | say is indeed anus
Ing. You wanted me to hurl to
the world Osteopathy. Stir up
the regular physicians shave me
arrested-force me to advertise
this school; make q name for you;
pay you 20 per cent of my prac-
sice--live out of the three states
you wanted for yourself; but /
will not listen to you. If your
idea was carried out, there would
be but one Farmer in 3 states; one
banker in three states; one law
yer IN three states; one real es-
tate agent in 3 ststes, and just
Still in 3 states. Say, Still, how
could you stand it? No one to
abuse or fuss at?
l would be, to-day, working
with A. I. Still, had l been per
mitted. l have helped to build
up all the practice he has, as he |
did not have many patients here
at Kirksyille, for the work had |
not been concentrated, when II
joined him over / years ago; and
now he ia treating people free to
keep them from me. This is all |
0. K. He has students and it is |
nice to be diagnosed by A. IT,
Still and then be treated by first
one, then another that ia inexper-
fenced. | don't care how many |
physicians, under any name, come |
to Kirksville. I have a nice bust
ness and nv patients are treated
by me personally every other day |
Or daily AS the case requires. l
have a man with me of years of |
experience that has devoted IA
years to the diseases of women,
and we ask the people to give US q |
trial. We will do all we can to |
cure you We will set your bones
when they need it without pain. !
When you need a bath to make
it quicker We viii give it. You
,an take these baths as they are
superior to all other baths; you do |
not take cold even in the coldest
weather. These baths remove
