Results convince.

Results convince.
What has been accomplished is
the best evidence of what may be
expected.
Nore are so competent to testify
to results as those who can speak
from personal experience.
Desiring to hear from the most
reliable source, the story of what
Osteopathy is doing for afflicted
humanity, a GRAPHIC reporter in
vaded the lobbies of the Osteo-
pathic Infirmary one day this
week, armed with note book
and pencil. Itwas not his pur-
pose to select only those known to
have been remarkably cured or
greatly benefited, but to inter-
view the patients just as he hap
pened to meet them, and record
their voluntary opinions regarding
Osteopathy.
The patients interviewed were
not only willing but anxious to
have their opinions of the new
treatment recorded; and the many
accounts of long years of suffering
recited to the reporter would be
interesting reading, but entirely
too lengthy for these columns.
Nearly all those met had "been
the rounds from the high-priced
city specialists" to the remotest
mineral springs" ""mud springs"
and other cureall fakes without
number, and for the time and
money thus lavished, had received
-''experience:" :" nothing more.
To meet these people and listen to
their stories is well worth any
body's time and certainly awak-
ems in the mind of the healthy
man broader appreciation of his
own good fortune.
During several hours spent
among the many patients, the re-
porter failed to meet a single
Kicker" although he tried to
find one just to give variety to the
interviews Every person with
whom the scribe talked had only
the most enthusiastic praise for
Osteopathy, and especially for the
gentlemanly and courteous manner
in which the business of the In
firmary is conducted.
Limited space prevents the pub
lication of the entire number, but
the following interviews obtained
in and about the Infirmary are fair
specimens:
Mrs. 81. 81. Darst, of Creston,
Iowa, was sitting in the yard wait

and talked enthusiastically about
the new science. She said her
husband, n. III. Darst, had been a
confirmed Asthma sufferer nearly

eight treatments, and had never
