Kirksville has been made what IL Is to-day
by DIR. Still and his famous School and
Infirmary. IL Is the largest patronizcd un.
endowed institution OF its Kind In the
United States.
DIR. Stills school enrolls over 700 students
yearly and each student Is required to at
tend four terms OF five months each before
completing the eof study. There are
over 1000 graduates and they are prac-
ticing In every state and territory Of tho
Union. About two-thirds OF the states
have passed special laws legalizing the
science.
This school teaches every branch taught
In medical colleges except drugs" and
thorough Is the teaching in anatomy that
over one hundred human bodies arc dis
sected yearly by the students
AT the lnfrmary, patients from every
part OF the country and with almost every
form OF disease are constantly under treat
mont. For the past fifteen years almost
every train coming TO Kirksville has
brought some new sufferer hoping to find re-
lief by the science OF Osteopathy. BY tho
thousands who have left the institution
benefited by the treatment, the science has
been heraldcd 10 the world as n safe and
rational method OF cure. Several years ago
free clinic was established In connection
with the practice department OF the school
and this Is still in operation. Hundreds OF
tho worthy poor, who are unable TO pay for
treatment, are treated every afternoon by
the senior students free OF charge.
