OSTEOPATHY

The Fundamental idea of Oste-

a perfectly self-regulating mecha-
nism, the work of which if not in
terfered with in any way will be
performed in most satisfactory
manner until the wearing out pro-
cess begins in old age.
Now, the trained Osteopath pos
sesses a knowledge of anatomy
and physiology that is second to
none. 1t includes all the learning
of the old schools and much that
is new. 1t has been gained IN a
course of study more arduous and
complete than any that is follow
ed outside of an Osteopathic col
lege.
A bone slightly misplaced, a
muscle in a state of undue con-
traction, a tendon hardened, any
of these may cause interference
with the work of a vital organ.

To be sure. there is a sameness
about an expression that is utter
ed regularly year afte" year by
nearly all of your acquaintance,
yet it may be said in extenuation
that behind the wish Of happy
New Year there is an earnestness
of feeling. At the annual inven-
tory, when mankind is clearing
off the old scores and preparing
for a new start, with all the old
hopes revivified and new ones
adding to the energy and vigor
of action, there is a sympathy
and good fellowship that is cpl
demic. SO it may be assumed that
the New Year greeting is more
than perfunctory. There is no
reason why it should not be a
happy New Year.
Well. the beginning Of another
year has swung around. How
many wrecks there are along the
track of the old year-hOW many
blasted lives, how many ruined
prospects, how many unfultill-
ments of good intentions-can
never be known. 1t is always true
that when things go into life s
perspective they lose much of
their significance; while present
things, because they are Strong in
our vision, seem more important
than they really are. 1t is quite
likely, therefore, that the mishaps
and the disasters Of 1904 look
larger to us than those of pre-
vious years, but examination and
comparison will show that 1904
has been a pretty good year, after
all. There are conditions which
appear to us to be unsettled, but
they are so only because they are
working out into the solution of
the problems which have vexed us
long and grievously. What
events are ahead of us, of course,
no man can tell, but if good does
not finally come out of the rest
Iessness of the closing year. the
result will be unnatural and un-
precedented.
