Mechen. w. Va, brother OF L.
c. Kline, d. O., of Tarentum, Pa,
has the following experience with Us
teopathy, reported in the December IS
sue of @The Medical World" Of Phila-
delphia. 1t will be interesting to our
practitioners and especially the COM
ment of the editors in conclusion, who
"print it for what it may be worth,
and advise NJ. DIS suffering from hard
times to try the newer methods
Editor Medical World:-I notice in
November World an advertisement, "Os-
teopathy for the Physician OsteoPathy
is a good thing when properly used; but
for any one to expect TO learn anything
worth while from a book is expecting
too much.
Some time $50 one of my brothers
went to Iowa and fell in with the os-
teopaths and graduated from their col
lege He located in Pennsylvania and
sent me literature among which was
book illustrating and describing the
treatments Now, l thought. l would
learn something about this treatment.
i a
get anything out of them
l then went and spent three months
with this brother, under his tutOrship.
He put me right to work. Then only
did l begin to see the light. An osteO-
path is a high grade mechanic of the
human system; and the treatment con-
sists primarily in movements TO read
lust structures and remove obstrue-
tions to the free and full normal &C
tivity of the various structures-
nerves, blood vessels, glands, etc. The
object is, to Yet Nature work without
hindrance or friction.
/ am regular" class of 81. l fin
ished the study of Osteopathy during
1905, and nearly all my practice now
consists of chronic cases who have tried
from one to more than a dozen regu-
lars. ! am not exaggerating when say
that 80 percent of them get well in
side of two months.
I inclose a few case reports. No
medicine used in any of them. 1 have
failed in but one uneomplicated case of
constipation, and failed to cure one case
of chronic partial paralysis after three
attacks of what was called cerebro-
spinal meningitis. / can report scores
of cases with results equal to these
seventeen inclosed.
Anything consisting of action must
be seen to be appreciated One not IA
miliar with football, baseball, etc,
would not get much benefit from illus
trated positions and descriptions; thus
no one can get much out of osteopathv
without seeing the modus operandi.-
