Quick Consumption Again.
CASE M loo


A lady 80 years old. Home in Seat
tie, Wash. and belongs to one of the
wealthy and prominent families of the
of the city. She took a severe cold a
few months ago. Drugs and drug doc
tors failed to give relief. She kept GO
ing down more and more, coughing hard
and eXpectorating copiously. Her
friends discovered her critical condition
in time and sent her with a practical
nurse to this city. For two weeks she
made no improvement and was discour-
aged. Finally a lady friend of ours,
Mrs. w. w. FELTON, of Mob Hill, pre-
vailed on her to give us a trial SO on
September &c, 1908, she came for treat
ment. She could not lie down fiat in
bed, had poor appetite and poor diges-
ton. tongue coated, lungs sore and sore
in left side, was very nervous, could
not sleep at night, was very feeble and
much emaciated and going down rapid
ly. We gave her nine treatments and
her improvement was simply marvellous.
She departed for her home on October
Sth feeling like new woman. Mrs. w.
w. FELTON, of Mob Hill will confirm this
statement.

Thoughts for thinking people

The Authors of a work on Ostepathy.
published in 1902, say "Our advice to the
student is to confine himself to chronic
diseases, and let the acute alone for
the present. We, advise this because
we know that the public is ignorant
regarding the truths underlying the var
ious systems of Therapeutics, and that
the loss of single acute case. will hurt
Osteopathy materially. whereas the pub
lie will think nothing of it if the drug
doctors lose a dozen patients. Later on
when the public becomes accustomed to
Osteopathic theories and practice, things
will be different. but for the present. be
content with chronic cases. which drug
doctors have pronounced incurable."
Then the author tells us how to cure
fevers. but cautions us to let them alone
for the present.
Dear Readers not this sad en-
conium upon the intelligence of our cit
Hcnship? Must the progress and sue
cess of the progressive people be stihed
because of blind prejudice of those who
will not investigate? Must the people
ask for burial permits" for their child
rem and other loved ones. who might be
spared to bless the home for years to
come; all because deep-rooted prejudice
torblds their trying II newer. and what
science has proved to be better way
Is IT true? Is it II lamentable fact, that
we must treat only those whom the
drug doctor says must die? And if we
cure large per cent of that class is it
not reasonable to say we can cure
large per cent of acute cases. when there
is more of vitality upon which to work
and where they have not yet been SEN
fenced to die by the drug doctors? Has
there not been progress-great progress
over the entire scope of human
thought during the past quarter of
century and why not expect something
new and better along the line of heal
ing human ailments. And why not be
ready to receive the newer and better
methods. Millions of people today be-
lieve this or that, just because father
and mother did. Simply because brought
up that way and because of the ironclad
environment that surrounds them. They
never think for themselves, they don't
dare to. They never investigate they
walk in the old ruts. like a man in Flor
ida who preferred the old Bee Gum
made out of a hollow log to the new
patent hives of today. And so because
brought up on drugs, you can't and
won't believe there is any better way
and won't investigate. No; but you
will dope your loved ones into untimely
graves and charge it to God Almighty.
rather than try what science has dis
covered to be a safer. surer remedy. In
vestigate-and do it honestly, and thor
oughly, and save yourself and your
loved ones.

whistling cough. Her lungs and much
of her body was in a very congested

could hardly touch her any where with

was circulating. The medical doctor

and he said all he could do was to in

so to deaden the pain, until the heart
nearly failed. Our first treatment

of constipation and leukorrhea. We
gave her two treatments one day, for
she said it seemed as if she could not

This case clearly demonstrates the
superiority of our method of treatment
over that of drugs in female complaints.

that the stomach was created to re.

that any poison can be taken into the
