oSTEoPATHY.

During the past few years no
science has made more rapid strides
than medicine. Cures are effected and
diseases conquered, which but few
years ago. were considered impossi-
BILE. hence the up-to-date physician
must of necessity be an advanced
scientist. Two disciples Of compare
tive new school in medicine, and yet
a school whose doctrines and systems
are being rapidly accepted wherever
known, are Drs. f. o. &. Sallie ii. |
Vance, graduates of the Southern
School of Osteopathy at Franklin, KY,
where they made a thorough and
complete study of this science, and
they have demonstrated, in their prae-
tiee throughout the state, the efficien-
cy of this system of healing. Osteo-
pathy was discovered at Baldwin,
Kansas. in 1874. by DIR. Andrew 7.
Still, an allecpathic physician and U.
S. Army surgeon. His discovery i'm
mediately attracted the attention of he
most profound students of medicine
in the world Many of the practition-
ers of Osteopathy were at one time
doctors of medicine. They have de-
serted the old standard for the new.
DIR. Still reasoned that a natural flow
of blood is health, and that disease is
the result of local or general disturb
lance of blood-that to excite the
nerves causes the muscles to contract.
and compress the normal flow of
venous blood to the heart and that the
bones could be used as levers to re-
lieve the pressure of nerves, veins and
arteries. In other words Osteopathy
is the science or art of healing disease
without the aid Of drugs by eorrectS
slight anatomical arrangements of
the body. and removing all obstruc-
tions to the physiological action of
the different body organisms. The
human body is considered by them a
perfectly constructed animated ma
chine, which has within itself all nee
essary power to repair the ravages Of
diseases, so long as the blood and
nerve paths aie unobstructed, and it
is supplied with pure air, water and
food. In short, Osteopathy IS the
method of removing instructions to
the vital fluids aud forces-anatom-
zeal engineering. 1t is a rational,
common-sense method that cOmmends
itself to intelligent people everywhere,
such as, Gov Josiah Grout, of Yer
mont: Gov. Lon b. Stephens, of Mis-
souri,; Gov. t. A. Briggs, of North
Dakota; Gov. John P. Altgeldt, of
Illinois; Gov. H. F. Pingree, of Michi-
gan; Gov. L. NJ. Shaw, of Iowa; Gov
A. f. Lee, of South Dakota; Gov. b.
McMillep, of Tennessee; Gov. John r.
Tanner, of Illinois; Hon. |. H. Good
night, former U. S. Congressman, of
Opie Reid, Novelist; Rev. Sam P.
Jones, Evangelist; all of these re-
nowned men of our country have had
an experience or trial and observation
with Osteopathy, besides Others too
numerous to name in Madison county
and throughout the State and Union.
Ors Vance have been in the city of
Richmond for the past two years and
are permanently located, and their
success with chronic disease of ten
and fifteen years standing as well as
acute cases of every description has
( been phenomenal. We trust that
some sufferer may be benefited by
this If not you directly, then through
YOUR friend. neighbor or acquaintance.
Should these or yourself have been
sick and have failed to have been re-
lieved, you cannot afford not to in
vestigate this science. 1t courts in
vestlgatlOn and appeals to your COM
mon sense. In accord with the law
passed by the recent legislature. Gov.
J. G. w. Beckham will appoint an Os-
teopathic physician on the State Board
of Health and Examiners, which will
give Osteopathy the same recognition
as that of other schools of medicine.
As we can give you but brief expla-
nation of the science here, they eX-
tend to you a cordial invitation to call
at their office, in the Hobson Building,
next door to the Government Build
ing, West Main street, Richmond,
KY. and learn more of the wonderful
cures they have and are vet accom-
plishing through these means. or write
them about your case and for litera-
ture. They are worthy acquisitions
tn the community and we heartily rec.
ommend them to the people of this
