THE RUBBING FALLACY EN-
PLODED.

Question: have heard OF num-
ber OF people cured by osteopaths,
doctor. and have been thinking of
taking the treatment; but first I would
like to know how mere rubbing can
be expected to benefit my case?
Answer.-Rubbing could do nothing
at all for your case, sir. But Osteo-
pathic treatment does noc consist OF
rubbing-in fact does none of It. That
idea is a Misrepresentation by a few
medical doctors as are warning against
the system. The Osteopath under
stands the value OF massage in some
cases for stimulating the surface cir
culation; and he does not seek to be-
little its value any more than he seeks
to deride any other procedure which
has merit. But he himself is distinct
ly net a masseur, and places his reli-
ance for the cure of his patients upon
something entirely different-upon a
system more definite and specific in
its application to the treatment of dis
ease than any other. The Osteopath
spends three years of nine months
each in college-more study by sever
al months than 1t takes for a man In,
New York state to become an NJ. D.
Is 1t reasonable to suppose that he
spends that length of time studying
massage? I think that you will agree
with me that it is not.
Question.-But does he not make
the patient strip and then work upon
the body with his hands?

Question.--It is rather a rough
treatment then, is 1t not? A delicate
woman or x child would not be strong
enough to stand It?
Answer.-On the contrary. When |

ment or knowledge. Beginning with.
childbirth. and from that time on.
through all the possible vicissltudes of
life there is no physical trouble in
which the Osteopath Is not qualified
to do work that will do good and benz
eft the patient more often, we are
certain, than any other treatment. The
treatment can be as gentle as required
or as strong as the need may demand
Question.-What are the limitations
of Osteopathy, for OF course you do
not claim to cure always7
LIMITATIONS OF THE TREAT
MENT.
Answer am glad that you asked
the question. The limitations of Os-
teopathy are Identical with the limita-
tions Of the patients vitality. In fact
the Osteopath does not claim to cure
anything, any more than does the in
telligent physician of any other school.
1t is generally admitted today that
cure in every case depends upon Vi
tality. II the patient has not the vi
tality necessary to overcome the dis.
ease he cannot live.
Question. not give the patient
good dose of medicine when his vi
tality happens to be at so low an ebbi
Answer.-There speaks the voice Of
tradition, the voice of generations OF
your ancestors who have been accus-
toned to take something for every
Ill. AS matter Of fact, practically
acknowledged by the best minds of
every school of healing today, drugs
never do increase the vitality of the
patient, but lower II instead. That Is
just one of the great points on which
osteopathy registers Its superiority.
Question.-What does Osteopaths
do, then when the vitality of the pa
tient is very low?
DIRECTING THE VITALITY.
Answer.-It does the only rational
thing. Seeks to build up the vitality
through proper nourishment, proper
habits, proper sanitation. There Is no
other way possible, for food and water
and air are the elements, and the only
elements, that the body needs from
which to make itself strong. But in
the vast majority of cases the vitality
of the patient is ample. ALL THAT is
NECESSARY Is A NORMAL AND
INTELLIGENT DIRECTION OF
THAT VITALITY.
Question.-And can the Osteopath
direct the vitality In such a way as to
overcome disease'
Answer.-He can. simply by restor-
ing adjustments, so that Nature, which
has become impeded in her work, may
take up the task and accomplish 1t as
1t was intended that she should.
Question.-But suppose the mfsad-
justment found is an old established
one and that correction will take some
time-what can the Osteopath do
then for the relief OF his patient?
Answer-He is fully equipped for
emergencies OF this character, also,
for mis- knowledge of the centers of
bodily control enables him, through
his system of manipulations. to in
crease or decrease activity at critical
points He can relieve the patient in
this way almost unfailingly, yet with
out the grave danger which always

Question.-How does the Osteopath
go about curing the disease after he
has discovered the physical defect
which he holds to be responsible?
Answer.-He has been splendidly
trained in a system of manipulations
which is adequate for every emergen-
cy. These manipulations consist chief
ly of the application of force to the

been cured of disease through Its
agency.
RECOGNITION OF oSTEoPATHY.
ouestion.-Has the question of its
legality as a healing system ever been
decided?
Answer.-The question of its recog-
milton as a complete and Independent
system of healing has already been
before the legislatures of every state
in the Union; and It has up to date
received full recognition from two"
thirds Of these. In some Osteopathy
has a separate board of state eXamin-
ers, in others 1t is represented by ono
of its own practitioners as a member
of the state board of medical examin-
ers. It also has received favorable
court decisions in several of the other
states.
Question.-Well, doctor, to come
back to what you were saying about
these misadjustments of the bodily
parts causing disease. How do they
do It?
Answer.-Simply by their effect on
the circulation OF blood and nerve
force. There is a place for every
thing and to have proper order every
thing must be in its place. If a ver-
zebra is ever so slightly out of its
right position the little blood vessels
at that part of the spine are crowded
into smaller space than properly be-
longs to them, proper nourishment Is
withheld from the spinal cord and
nerves. Nerves even frequeiely suf-
fer from strong direct pressure.
TROUBLE AT NERVE ENDS.
Question.-But all of these things
should make trouble at the spine,
should they not?
Answer.-Sometimes they do. But
the first results which are felt from
pressure on nerve are almost always
in the parts to which the terminal
branches of the nerve go. For in
stance, II there is 4 misadjustment at
the spine which causes pressure upon
one of the strands forming the great
sciatic nerve, you are likely to first
know about it by pain in your leg
or foot You will understand this
when you think of what happens
when you have been seated too long
in one position-your foot goes to
sleep, while the pressure is usually at
the hip or above the knee
Question.-But suppose the pressure
is on blood vessels. as you have stated
that it sometimes is?
Answer.-Nerves which get their
nourishment from those blood vessels
may suffer in consequence and the
trouble seem to be caused directly by
nerves. But YOU must understand,
too that eyerv OrpuD of tho hodv cato
its nourishment chiefly from blood
vessels and that it, is drained by other
blood vessels. Does not that make It
clear how interference with blood ves-
sells will mako organs become weaken
ed and susceptible to disease?

TREATMENT NOT EMBARRASSING

Answer.-It is sometimes necessary
to examine the body-physician of
every school frequently have to do
this. The doctor who never makes
such an examination, who simply lis
tens to his patients tale of symptoms
and then makes a guess as to the ma
ture of the malady, may be set down
as a poor physician from whatever
school he comes and wherever he be
may be found. But the real fact of
the matter, as to Osteopathic treat
ment, is that most examinations cal-
be as well made through a garment;
and that treatment afterwards is al
most always administered through a
garment
Question.-Then the treatment Is
not, as 1 have heard, embarrassing to
women patients?
Answer.-Far from it. The Osteo-
path is able to do so much by his cor
receive work on the spine. done
through a garment, that local treat
ment is not necessary nearly as Offer.
as under other systems; and the ne
cessity for an operation is reduced tu
a minimum.
