It Should Be Investigated.
DO NOT BE TOO HASTY IN DRAW
ING CONCLUSIONS, BUT MAKE
DILIGENT INQUIRY.
The Science of Osteopathy, the Won
derful Treatment That Considers
Man as a Machine, and Works
Accordingly-Read Care
fully and Consider.

The idea of the public in regard to
| what we undertake to do, is 80 vague
and generally at such variance from
the actual facts, that ! take this method
| of putting our science before you, as
well as possible in a newspaper article.
Osteopathy is not mere bone set
|, ting-tha idea seems to be prevalent
here that we only set bones. Permit
us to say, while we confine our work
exclusively to chronic diseases, our
| science reaches and treats anything
| the so-called schools of medicine
treat,AN THAT WITHOUT THE USE OF
DRUGS. You ask, How can you treat
| asthma and kindred affections with
out drugs? We come back at you and
say, How do you treat it with drugs
when every authority gives asthma as
incnrable2
If you answer that your treatment
is merely palliative, why not recon-
mend to the patient to investigate a
treatment that has cured the dreaded
malady.
Or is the patient doomed to wheeze
the remnant of his Gays because he
does not understand the principle un-
| DERIVING; the treatment? Does the
farmer understand the laws of life
when he plants his seed? Does he re-
fuse to plow and SOW just because he
does not fathom the intricacies of
termination?
To any one desiring Information re-
garding osTEOPATHY-what it is and
what it is Motive will cheerfully de-
vote a portion of our time to them at
our office when not otherwise en-
gagged.
Osteopathy considers man as a ma
chine, which, having all its parts I'M
obstructed and a proper and free flow
of all ita fluids, use of muscles, tendons
and its frame work in proper position,
is in a normal condition called HEALTH.
1t looks upon disease as natures
warning, calling attention to some
mechanical arrangement In the ma
chinery; it may be bone pressure on
some nerve interfering with the Or
gans supplied by that nerve, causing
Indigestion, constipation and many
| other functional disturbances it may be
congestion of the muscles, with result
in pain in back, to be charged up to
the kidneys; interference with circu-
lation, causing headaches, ETC., or to
the genital organs, causing various
forms of female diseases, ETC., etc.
II these conditions a be discov-
| cred and corrected, will not the effect
be a CURE? And if this can be accom-
plished without drugs, with their con-
se9uerrt deranged stomachs, nervous
wrecks, morphine fiends and whisky
soaks, will it not prove a blessing to
humanity? You cannot deny it. The
contention then hinges on whether or
not osteopathy is able to accomplish
the regults. If it is you must admit all
claims for 1t.
In OH next article we will give a
few names of parties treated in Ken
lucky, and will pay postage both ways
on every letter of inquiry directed TO
them. All we ask of the people OF
Mexico is an investigation. Osteop-
athy has outgrown the expectations
of its most sanguine supporters, and
this against the most persistent oppo-
sition, not of a local gang of moss
back doctors, but the organized medi-
cal world. In Kentucky they united
all overthe State, met at the Gait House
in Louisville and passed resolutions OF
condemnation of Mrs. zimmerman and
myself, and authorized the secretary
of the State Board of Health to bring
suit against US, pledging him all the
support necessary, which he did, with
the result that he not only failed to
stop lis from practicfng in the State,
but others followed US and osteopa-
thy grew rapidly, and at present a
large and influential school of osteop-
athy is conducted by our uccessors in
Franklin.
Now,if osteopathy was a fake, CoULI
THIS HAVE HAPPENED?
To the citizens of Mexico: We are
permanently located in Your midst
and ehalI devote all our energies tc
building a large business here. Please
investigate the benefits accruing tt
you. We hope to succeed in drawing
people here from all parts OF the coun'

aid us in this by recommending us tt
those of your friends needing treat
ment. Those people had as well come
to Mexico as to go elsewhere. Tit
endorsements we have from Drs. Hill
dreth and Chas. Still, as we'll as othel
members of the faculty, should be
guarantee Of our giving satisfaction
Mexico is the best situated city in tn,
State for a business of this kind; 1t
railway facilities are unsurpassed, be
ing centrally located between st. Loui
and Kansas City, its hotels superior
accommodations excellent;i in fact, it
the ideal location for an osteopathi
sanitarium. Respectfully,
