 s'Osteopatby, first throwing away forever all drugs, takes for it's basic principle of belief and action, the fact that nature works along the line of health and perfection, and that if she can without hindrance work in her own way, health will be the uniform result, and not disease. It treats the human body as the most wonderful piece of mechan- ism known, which, if properly adjusted and lubri- cated, will accomplish marvellous amount of work, if properly fed, and kept in good condition until ripe old age In other words, the human body properly cared for, will improve with use, but should never be ruined by the use of drngs which always weaken and injure ir, frequently beyond remedy. This science is attracting attention all over the world, and is no doubt destined 10 entirely supersede all the old methods Of healing.
