"Nsen Who DO rhinas. y

mon VINO Do ThtngS."
A few years ago one of our pa
tients confessed she had heard
slurs and insinuations cast upon
Iosteopathy. until she felt one
should apologize for taking os-
teopathic treatment She then
entered the National Cathedral
School for Girls at Washington,
ID. c., when she had breakdown
and went to one of the osteopaths
at the capital for treatment.
She said it was revelation to
her to meet the people of the very
highest rank of the nation who
were taking and boosting osteo-
pathy.
At that particular time SEN
lalors, representatives, cabinet
members and daughter OF the
| vice president we're taking treat
I'ment and loyal supporters of the
new science.
1t is gratifying indeed to our
profession to see tho amazing
humber of our most eminent men
and women, and those who do
things" occupying The foremost
ranks in their respective lines of
activity, publicly announcing that
they owe so much to osteopathic
Treatment, which makes it pos
sihle for them to stand up under
the strain of their most strenuous
work. Those who are enabled to
do the great things in life for any
period of time must have health
of the best, to continue such ac-
laivities under such high pressure.
We will not attempt to give a
list of the great musicians, sing
ers, chautauqua talent, lecturers,
|athletes, business and profess
sional men, statesmen, educators,
etc, etc, who are constantly
keeping their health in the best
condition by depending upon Os-
teopathy, else they could not pos
sibly keep up the strain of their
intense work.
One example might be men,
toned, however, as ii has ap-
peared in the daily papers many
times, and that is Billy Sunday.
Twelve years ago remarked to
some relatives who worked with
him in different towns, that he
would not be i'm the harness five
years from then, hui would break
down in health. changed my
|nrognosis when found he was a
supporter of Osteopathy in The
same manner as he is of other
things. and frequently has a
treating table ak his hotel, that he
may have treatment frequcntl,
and conveniently.
| do not think anyone could
keep up the heavy work he has
|donc for years, and still have the
VITALITY he retains without being
lin the very finest physical con-
dtion, and ii is next TO impos-
sible to do this without OslcO-
Ipathic treatment, for such siren
uous workers.
Some Of the worlds champions
in athletics credit Ostcopathy 70,
lputting them in such physical
lperfection as to enable them to
become famous in their respective
lines.
None realize more than do we
that as much depends upon TIL,
individual and his care of self as
lit does upon treatment for sue
cess.
| We get no satisfaction from
Treating one broken down from
dissipation and gluttony, if VIZ
cannot gain their cooperation &
properly care for their bodies aft
er putting them in good condi-
ton, for they will soon injurt
their health; and they and we arr
both disappointed.
Temperance in work, play, rest
eating, drinking, thinking and al
else is essential to health an,
happiness; intemperance in an.
|pf them will have ''kick back,
(which should be avoided.
