Many of the leaders in our
Franks, with plenty experience and
financial backing. have started a
practical demonstration for fra.

land have been for three years es-
ltablishing an insurance company
where d. Os and their patients
shall he the risks, or applicants,
which they seek in preference to.
pthers.
The manner in which this is
supported and growing, demon
startes to all that it is going to
be a great success.
1t is claimed and believed by
our profession that thousands of
lives are saved annually by Os-
teopathy, and thousands of pa
tients are still in good health who
were expected to die years ago
under medical treatment.
We believe in much more
conservative surgery than other
physicians. In a few years this
INSURANCE company expects to
furnish proof of this that the act
uarics and directors of the older
companies will see that the death
rate has been lowered among our
patients and our risks, and estab-
lish our claim for square deal,
and appointment as their exam
liners also.
There are few osteopaths in
practice who have not extended
the length of life for many per-
sons.
We get many patients who have
had little or no difficulty in get
ting life insurance and passing
examination who have physical
defects which we discover that
should have prevented them from
passing.
Hosts have been saved from Sc
rious surgical operations which
: would have shortened the lives of
many and possibly proven fatal
| with others. There are still a
i few physicians who declare there

have unconsciously paid a tribute

} until they had taken osteopathic

They have also pronounced a
death sentence. upon some of
their hopeless cases, who have re-
, covered their health, and these

physicians pass them for insur-

We arc for such an osteopathic
institution, and a square deal. We
do our best to incorporate this in
our lives, and expect it from 9TH
