OSTEOPATHY AS A PROFESSION.

IF | take up Osteopathy as pro
fession, will it LAST" This is II burn
ing question just now to several young
men and women. No profession be-
gins to offer the inducements that does
| Osteopathy. In no profession is there
calls and inquiries like this cant you
send us a qualified Osteopath2" There
have been so many fakes, so many
fads that have fourished for day,
to pass out and be forgotten, that
the prospective student halts for fear
of similar result with Osteopathy.
The only means we have of testing
its merits is by an examination of
what it has done, thus getting basis
from which to forecast its future. We
publish below a case that we treated
in Franklin from Bowling Green, Ky.
This was the daughter of an L. q
N. r. r. engineer, one of the best
known men of Bowling Green. Note
! the fact that she was treated by DIR.
Briggs, of Nashville, who failed on
the case. If in this case medicine was
tested and found wanting, and Oste-
opathy supplied the missing link, does
it not stand to reason that principle
involved had been missed by DR..
Briggs and recognized by Osteopathy?
Now, kind reader, would not the treat
ment that cured Ruby Crofton in 1896
cure similar case now2 And would
it not do so 40 years hence? In other
words, Osteopathy as here practiced is
true, as shown by the results. If
true, will continue to remain so.
This case was published in the March
number of the Southern Journal of
Osteopathy, and it is notorious fact
that the Franklin people have published
but few cases Of note that were not
, treated by Drs. zimmerman and DIR.
; J. S. Oldham, of our Faculty. This
case was cured by Drs. zimmerman,
but note the further fact that no credit
is given. 1t is also a notorious fact,
that you can hardly find a book of
certificates on the table of any Oste-
opath in the South without the cast S
of Goodnight Casey, Norwood, Mrs.
A. P. Williams Miss Proctor Ruby
Crofton and Mr.. Thompson, all treated
by Drs. zimmerman and Oldham, and
it is also queer freak of human ma
ture that in NOT ONE OF THESE
BOOKS WILL A WORD BE SAID OF
: WHO TREATED THE CASE. If you
have any literature of this sort, look
it up and if | an incorrect | will re-
tract the above statement through
this paper. The place to learn any
applied science is from those who
have put it into successful practice
and in this regard we challenge com.
n parison with any school in the land
70 Read the statement of Miss Croftor
h carefully, then read what Judge Good
: night said in public speech abou
/. his treatment No case ever treated
Ie Osteopathically has been advertised al
X much as that of Judge Goodnight, ant
we are anxious for you to see what h
,e says about it. These cases, togethe,
g with hundreds of lesser note, are cure
to-day and remain so, by Osteopathy
and by members of the faculty of tn
,e Tennessee College of Osteopathy. A
e. we ask of you is to come and see us
s. Talk with Mr.. MAXWELL, and if yo
: want to know more of the principle
} of the science call on Drs. Ammel
le man at their office, The Tennessee
s. College of Osteopathy is to be til
