discoveries OI Tie EIfDe.
From Gov. Robert L. Taylor,
of Tennessee: g When a century
later historians are sitting the
events of this time for the epoch
making discoveries of science and
civilization there will be few chap
ters more important, | think, than
that devoted to the reformation in
medicine which will have to come
about through the acceptance and
practice of DR.. Stills system,
known as Osteopathy."
Ex-Gov. Josiah Grotte, of YER
mont, on signing the bill for Os-
teopathy: ''Osteopathy has been
tried by the leading men and wo-
men of the State, and they all tes-
tify to its merits. We will give it
d chance" He has never regret
ted signing the bill.
Gov. Lon V. Stevens, of Mis-
souri,: "The bill was introduced
and passed both houses by an
Overwhelming majority. The
science of Osteopathy, SO far as
it comes under my observation,
assists in relieving suffering hu-
manity, and [ do not think erred
in signing the bill.
Gov. T. A. Briggs, of North
Dakota: ''Osteopathy has helped
me. 1t has also done good in my
family and Will hurt no one. |
will sign it,
Ex-Gov. H. S. Pingree, of

doing a vast amount of good in
relieving suffering and deform-
ity.''
Gov. l.. M. Shaw, of Iowa: GO
am fully convinced that Osteop-
athy is a rational system of heal
ing
Gov. A. E. Lee, of South Da-
kota: "Osteopathic bills have
been passed in several states and,
from a careful inves tig .tion of the
claims of the system, believe it's
practitioners are enutle1 to the
protection of our laws.
Ex-Gov. John P. Al geld, of
Illinois: when prescriptions
and drugs were as Intellectual as
empty words, it came to the res
cue of myself and Mrs. Altgeld
and did that which other things
had failed to do. Honor those to
whom honor is due"
Gov. jain r. Tanner, of Illi-
nois: 1.-The State Medical Board
has been fighting the Osteopaths
long enough. There is no doubt
in my mind that Osteopathy will
reach and cure many chronic
troubles that medicine would have
little or no effect upon"
Gov. Edwin c.. Smith, of Yer
mont, is an ardent admirer of Os-
teopathy. Says he: my expe-
rience with Osteopathy has been |
very gratifying. 1t should be le-
galized by every state in the
Union"
Ex- Gov. William P. Dilling- |
ham, of Vermont, was an active
of Legislative action: q
have employed practitioners of
that school," said he, ''to treat |
members of my family, and have
been particularly pleased with
the results. [ firmly believe that |
this practice is based on scientific
principles and is an advance in
medical science"
Judge c. C. Cole, Ex- Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court of
Iowa: "Osteopathy is not the
practice of medicine, but an alb
safe system of treating |
by certain manipula-
bions, stimulating the system of
the body to its normal condition,
We need not the statutes TO pro-
tect US against Osteopathy as
against the dangers to which we
are exposed in the use of medi-
cines. The day is coming when
the practice of Osteopathy will
not only gain legal recognition,
but will be considered as one of
the greatest achievements of the
century"
Among other converts to Oste-
opathy are Mark Twain, Opie
Read, Governor Odell, Senator T.
G. Platt, and many others prom

Osteopathic treatment, if taken
in a timely and proper manner,
IS both prophylaxis and therapeu-
sis-one is the prevention and the
other to the cure of disease.
