waiting their turns for treat
ment. The greatest rush occurs
In the forenoons, and the scene
about the lntirmary from early
morning until noon beggar de-
scription. From over the hills, in
every direction, patients can be
seen vending their way, some in
carriages, others in invalid chairs
wheeled by attendants, while many
are painfully hobbling along on
crutches. There are invalidS from
almost every corner of the United
States, and of every degree of in

ated individual at whose throat
Deaths fingers seem already
clasped, and who has to be carried
bodily from the carriage to the
operating table, to the ruddy
complexioned, portly invalid whom
nobody would ever suspect of hav-
ing suffered single pain. All
day long there is constantly
moving stream of humanity going
to and from the building, while
every train brings in a new detach-
ment of patients.

The remarkable growth of Oste-
opathy is also evidenced By the
constantly increasing demand for
boarding accommodations in that
part OF the city lying near the
lntirmary. New residences have
been erected upon nearly all avail
able lots in that end of the citv
and the music of the saw and
hammer is heard from morning
till night, yet the demand for
houses in that neighborhood ex-
ceeds the supply.
The fame of Osteopathy is built
upon the solid rock of results.
News of its remarkable cures-for
years common table-talk in Kinks
Vllle-has just begun to reach the
outside world, and the popularity
OF this new school is only dawning. |
That Osteopathy is the true science

being daily demonstrated in this

MORE ROOM NEEDED.

| The business of the Infirmarv
has more than doubled during the
year and is increasing every day.
When the capacious new building
was dedicated, less than eight
months ago, it was thought to be
larger than would be needed for
several years, but it has already
become necessary to have more
room, and the contract for a forty
foot addition has been let. The
addition will be upon the north
end and will make the building
13O feet long, with about thirty
operating rooms.
