osteopathy came ia Tor a liberal Dis
cusslon at yesterdays session. Dr. Lou
lisa M Hayes started the ball rolling with
Raner upon the science followed by
general discussion DR.. Hayes. in her ad-
dress said in part:
Only a. few. years. ago Il pronounced
osteopathy fad; message under another
name, Swedish movement, cure. an absurd
system of medicine which would soon
vanish But osteopathy did not vanish,
and believe me it has come to stay It
Is now recognized and established sys-
tenn cf medicine accomplishing work so
siTnply, SO quietly that 1t seems magical.

success must ever be in proportion to the

traitor or operator. OF those harmonious
relations which maintain In health and
which when disturbed or Interrupted may
be What we call disease. The half of
what this nlet.ns has never been fathoned
by the schepa OF medicines but. it has
| been left Cor the school of osteopathy to
go further in demonstrating in this direc-
ton and Whole world of wealth in I'M
explored w9ntefs OF nerve forces and I'M

Dr., ttaynes proceeded with: the asser-
ton that all the al that came to mankind
was the result OF 9bad blood circulation.
NO TIME F 'F FOR losTEoPATHs.
Prof. E. H.sBratt, Of Chicago, rose i'm
mediately after the reading of DIR. Hayes
paper and took 3the wind out of the
osteopath's sails and was greeted by APP
plause which; could leave no doubt as to
the sentiments of the institute on the
subject. He said: ''These people, the
| osteopatfs, haVe9 come to: us with such
offensive attitude that they have injured
| their own cause: They think they are
| the whole thing. In order to succeed they
| think they musts knife everything that
| has been established. They would wipe
| out the whole list Of drugs from the face
Of the earth They would destroy all the

who believes it can flush the capillaries.
l. do not think any human being has the
right to assumes to treat a case of diph-
iberia unless he has a thorough knowl-
edge of medicine, The paper plead FOR
osteepathy,. but acknowledged that 1T did
not cure all, DISEASES Do drugs cure all
cases? No No. one claims they do.
While the essayist asks us to remember
that. osteopathy will cure a good many
cases, that drugs will not cure I want
you to remember that drugs will cure
many cases where laying on of hands
will never be of any service,
A committee appointed to make plans
for the reorganiza ton of the homeopathic
college of medicine and surgery at the
state university recommended that the
homeopath and Aallopath departments be
separated and maintained under separate
rules. The institute took a decided stand
against discrimination against the homeo-
path students and the statement was
made that the constituency of the homeo-
path science represented one-third Of the
tax payers of the state. Therefore they
were entitled to recognition. The report
was signed by Thomas Gray, G. F. Ro-
berts, and w. e. Leonard.

should see that the registrar of the uni
versity did rot use his influence among
the students To advance the interests OF
the allopath branch.
Dr.. Ogden Thought 1t would be difficult
for the homeopathic to secure the proper
materials and apparatus elsewhere. He
suggested that's the two branches receive
instruction. at different times.
Dr. Gray Thought there should be sep
arate set of APPARATUS for the alloraths
and 'homecpatffs.
The report Of the committee resulted in
the following RESOLUTION being passed.
SEPARATE COLLEGE LIFE.
RESOLVED, That we~regard the request
for separate college life as an impera-
tive necessity demanded by the tax
payers of the state, who are vitality in
terested in seeing the college of homeo
pathy flourish, and in seeing those con-
ditions removed which have so hampered
it's worth hitherto, a request emphasized
by ten years Of faithful and ardueus
labor upon the part of the faculty; a re-
quest having it's root in doing simple JUS
tice to one of the colleges already es-
tablished by the board of regents; rec
ignition upon which the continuance of
the college life depends.
DR.. E. H. Pratt addressed the institute
upon q science which is taking firm
i,, he wiz IF nj
which he is the originator. The doctor
has named this pelology, which means
orificia1 surgery. This surgery applies to
| the pelvic orif1ces exclusively, and in his
paper Dr. Pratt told why he named the
science as he did, and gave very inter
esting narrative of it's development
Dr. G. o. 5Welch,8 of the state hospital
| for the insane at Fergus Falls, addressed
| the gathering, reciting some interesting
statistics of the hospitals work.
| The faculty of the college of homeopath-
1 ic medicine and surgery submitted re-
| port making a very satisfactory showing.
| Twenty-Five students are receiving IN
struction.
DR.. Martha G. Ripley reported for Ma

| gical work had been uniformly success
| full. The debt of $4,000 had been reduced
