MEDICAL TREATMENT NOW is WATT
ING UPON NATURE.
The writer vividly recalls the
extreme pride and qualification
OF a medical doctor who was re-
lating to him several years ago the
history Of one Of his pneumonia
cases. that of young mother
whose life was more than ordina-
rily valuable to her family. She
had double pneumonia, and the
doctor stated that he had brought
her through with only 'a very few
yery small doses Of digitalis to
sustain her heart" One could
hardly, by any stretch OF the i'm
agination, attribute her recovery
to the use Of medicine. It was
due, rather, to skillful nursing and
the recuperative powers Of her
system.
If, then, drugs admittedly are
impotent in this disease, and the
medical doctors of best repute
confessedly rely entirely on
dietetic, hygienic and environ
mental measures, what better can
osteopathic doctors do? Have
r they anything betterP II 50, the
world should know Of it. The lite
Of d loved one may depend upon
the answer some time this winter,
81 We must be honest and candid.
/ Now is the time to settle this issue
not after pneumonia inyades
the household.
Deliberately and fearlessly we
state our conviction that osteopa-
thy ennbodies all Of value that the
older systems possesses, In addi-
tion to Invaluable methods pecu-

characteristic treatment, which ne
carries in his hands, the ostec-
pathic physician can hopefully
undertake the treatment Of pneu-
monia. and the patients family
can confidently rely on his
