What II? OsTEopArHY is true science for aiding ma
ture in preventing and combating disease, based upon
thoroughly practical and scientific knowledge of the
structure and function of the human body reveaedin

school who still lives age OF to the reward of
his abors and is the head of the most unique school of
learning in all the world This school, the pioneer i'll
Oseopatc instruction. is located in Kirksville little
citv of 700 population in Northeast Missouri and the
fame of the Institution has encircled the globe.
What it cures OsteOpahv cures nothing. Neither does
any other branch of medicine. Nature IS her own re-
storer The Oseopatl assists the Great Physician by
administering a natural treatment removing any OBJ
structon to the normal and blood supply to every
part of the human body. Such distractions may be of
a bonv muscular, or lgamentous character.
The Dominant Principle The dominant idea underlying
all Osteopathc teaching and practice is that the all
wise Creator made of man machine OF composite fOrm
each part being of intricate mechanism and hay
ing distinct Junction. yet blending with every other
part in perfect harmony Thus, for examples, the
bones are made solid framework upon which to build
the remaining parts to protect the delicate organisms
within them and also forming levers of different kinds
The muscles made to envelope the bones act
cessoes to the bony levers and make the entire form
more SVmnetrlCal other tissues to bind the muscles to
the bones, fatty tissues to form cushions for proecton
and outside all these the skin to envelop and protect
the WHOLE Within portion of the bony framework
are situated the brain and spinal cord which send their
millions of hbers ramfyng here and there throughout
the entire human machine thus bringing the whole body
into Geographic communication with the central station

Thus throughout the entire human economy every
