equipments and results. Three
of the eight colleges of Osteop-
athy in this country have ad-
ded buildings during the past
year, and every one reports ad-
ditional students. Much of
this progress is due to the graf
itude and generosity of patients
who have been cured, and have
given financial help to establish
the above.
We hope to keep the public
informed on these things, and
in q few years we hope to re-
ceive greater endowments from
philanthropists and laymen in
all ranks.
Greater things yet will be
done in the future by Osteopa-
thy, the greatest discovery Of
the age.

What Is Being Done For
Osteopathy.

The National Assn, of oste-
wishes its members to
keep the public informed as to
the work that is being done in
our field Of science. We feel
that the advancement of our
profession, and the education
of the public Is mutually advan-
tageous to the individual and
to the Osteopath.
We announced last summer
that our school of drugless heal
ing had just established a lab
oratory for research work in
Chicago, in valuable property
with one Of the strongest men
of our school at the head of this
scientific work with five assist
ants. This work has received
generous support, and it has
just been necessary to purchase
additional room, so a three
story building, with five flats
has been bought for future use
in this work, the property adj
joining the present laboratories

as the experiments upon ami
mails, principally monkeys, has
been proving our theories as
facts that the scientific world
will have to soon admit. Of
equal Importance, and another
epoch marker in our field is
the growth of the Kirksville in

ium, at Macon, Mo-, making q
speciality of Insanity and Nerv-
Gus diseases. This will be
ready for patients in March,
and the profession expects
some exceptional results in
such an institution as hundreds
of cases Of insanity have been
cured by Osteopathy without
the advantages such on institu-
tion will give both patient and
physician.
There will be no private San
itarium in the country special
