Doubter or knooker7 Whloh7
To those who know or see lit
lie Of tho results of osteopathy
and who are doubters, asking ito
he shown, we bow to them with
our hats off. We were once one
of them, but those who have had
every opportunity to see and hear
OF the cures from this treatment
and still refuse to believe but
throw mud and become knockers,
and are objects of pity.
Realizing our duty to educate
the public upon the principles
and truths of this young science
of drugless healing, we, wish to
at least combat the false stories
and beliefs that are persistently
circulated in different circles. -
Sixteen years ago when we be-
gan the practice of osteopathy
we thought it would be but a few
years until the public would have
at least an intelligent understand
ing of our system and methods,
but we still hear silly things be-
licvcd and repeated by otherwise
fairly intelligent people, and oc-
casionally quoting even physi-
clans or so-called specialists.
For example, quite bunch
still claim mysterious things are
done by the P. O., such as putting
on some drugs or dope on his
hands, unknown to the patients.
Again we repeat we use drugs in
no cases in any form. They may
do some good in some cases, but
we believe better results are en-
.ioyed by -osteopathy alone. Pa
iients now under our care give
us illustrations that are very
common to encounter.
One patient spent 500 with a
specialist and in despair turned
to osteopathy. He was benefited
not the least with all his efforts
and expense and was asked by his
physician why he was quitting
him. He answered that he was.
no better from drugs, surgery
and nursing. so would try oste-
opathy The look of the DOCTOR.
either Of disappointment or dis.
gust, prompted him to ask him
what he thought of osteopathy.
TITS a joke" said the doctor. An.
interesting thing is that the pa
tient was courteous and patient
with such sneers, and did not tell
him that he happened to know
that this specialists younger
brother was successful osteo-
path across the river.
After three weeks of osteopathy
this patient declares he wishes to
meet the doctor and show him his
pronounced Improvement and ask
him "if osteopathy is a joke, but
cures your failures, what about
YOUR sysIem?" Another case un-
der our care ready for discharge
as cured. spent several hundred
dollars the previous year seek
ing relief from sickness and di-
sease from which many of the
family had died. and the same re-
suit was expected in this one.
Relatives and neighbors who had
taken treatment finally induced
him to try osteopathy. A COM
plication of lung, stomach, kid
ney, blood and nerve troubles
found. Fifty dollars worth of
treatment brought perfect health.
After Il few treatments had been
taken the last physician inquired
from the family why they had not
called for more drugs, and they
said they had given up hopes of
help from them and were trying
osteopathy. This doctor also
said they were foolish and no
good could come fromsthe new
treatment, but they replied that
| ii could not be worse failure than
medicine had been, but "a cure

NOR this doctor has gained a
debt of gratitude from all con-
cerned when he sent patients to
take osteopathy.
This patient declared he con-
sidered he was trying hum
bug" but a cure resulted, so re-
member faith has no part to play
in results. Nothing gives the in
telligent understanding of this
treatment like the experience Of
4 its relief and cure.
We ask you to be fair and rea-
sonable and investigate.
