LIS HOW II WAS DONE.
etor Cupp Explains the Remarka.
 k bl3 Case of MT. Connect.

sE
 The statement that Mir. Connect ff this city, who has been afflicted for some months with Locomotor Ataxia and who had been pronounc Ed incurable by one of the leading Dhysicians of this city as we'll as by Dr. Smith. the celebrated speciaIist, Cf Ty Ter, Texas, which appeared in an evening paper of this city q few Hays ago, created quite good deal of interest and the Graphic man called on Doctor Cupp who had wrought this apparently wonderful cure and obtained from him the fol- lowing statement as to the method of treatment by which it was done.
 THE BASIS or HEALTH.
 The nervous system, which is com posed of the brain and spinal cord, the sympathetic ganglia and their branches, presides over and controls esery gher Of the body. You cannot mom4your little finger. nor wink your eyelid without the aid of the motor nerves, while if the sensory nerves Of your arm were severed you .could allow it to be burned off to the shoulder without feeling it. The vase motor nerves. which aeeompa- ny the blood vessels, control their #caliber. thus regulating the blood i supply to all parts Of the body, az # the tissues depend for nutrition upon the blood, you can readily see how it is that the nerves control every # process and function of the body. HOW DISEASE COMES.
 Taking the above as q basis tand no one will dispute it), weelaim that there are but two ways for disease to come. Ist. By direct obstrae- ton of the nerve or blood supply of an organ or region of the body. I'd. By all interference with the circula- ton of the blood to the nerve center, deprfEing it of it's full share of Lutri- tion/ Either of these conditions may be brought about by the dis placement of a bone or other strue- ture, or by the contraction of mus ele or ligament, causing pressure on the nerve or blood vessel. In the one case the telegraph wires are down or crossed, in the other the battery is V eakened.
 THE WAY OF CURE.
 Having a correct knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the body, the 0steopath simply removes the obstruction wherever it may exist, and nature restores the normal con dition, which is health. In the ease } of NIT. Connett, certain muscles and fragments along his spine were weak ened (Drobably from an injury re- eeived long ago. which caused other m lscles to unduly contract, thus ex- aggerating the curve of.the spineand bringing pressure on the posterior es1umns cf the spinal cord and also interfering with the blood supply to the cord. Ny work has simply been to relax the contracted muscles and tone up the weakened ones, thus re- lieving the pressure on the cord and restoring the normal circulation to it.
 sAGEs SOMETIMES WRONG.
 While no one has grea t- CT respect than we for such men as Osler, Chareot and Weir Mitchell and other learned phy- sicians, who have pronounced Loco motor Ataxia incurable, we beg to remind you that the earth was at one time held to be fiat by the wise men of the world, and it was only after it was demonstrated by experience to be round that they would change their opin- ions.
 IT REACHES THE LIVER.
 No one thing has done more to prejudice people against Arkansas than the false impression which has gone out that the liver could not bSkept active here without calomel
