OSTEOPATHY

The following are extracts from
the Forum Magazine for June 1916,
from an article written by Robt H.
Dunnington:
"One theory that marks our mod
ern medicine is the microbe theory
Some have misrepresented Osteo-
pathy in stating that we do not be-
lieve in microbes.
If any one has eyes, can use them
and can see the microscope, he can
not deny the existence of microbes.
The great question Is where shall we
place them in the pathology and dag
nosis of disease.
The great schools Of serum
therapy have emphasized the prin-
ciple, that when dealing with disease
we must deal with it from the ply
siological point of view; that is, from
the biological; second from the stand
point of antitoxin, or antisepsis on
serum basis that is physiological
Osteopathy steps in to emphasize the
! fact that it is unnecessary to spend
the time and labor in the artificial
production of this serum outside the
| body, because the great medicinal
/ chest is the body itself and the Wis
| medicatrix is the great inherent pow
! er associated with the body itself.
l wish to mention the field
1 OF surgery, as associated with Osteo-
pathy. Osteopathic medicine and
surgery represent the new school of
l therapeutics. There is great
| tendency in modern times, especially
| IN America, to rush into surgical
operations as a remedy for almost
any condition. Many diseases that
were regarded incurable, Or durable
only by surgical operation have been
u NraTTr- a l.
: Inhamatory conditions Of the
uterus, oVaries and fallopian tubes,
which were considered to indicate
surgical removal, have been complete
| ly cured without operation
In this negative field alone, by re-
moving cases of operation, osteopa-
thy has done good in calling a halt
to those remedies which have unsexed
thousands Of women.
In this age of enlightenment
and scientific investigation, nothing
can claim a place that cannot prove
its claims beyond a reasonable doubt
Of Osteopathy, the new claimant IN
the field OF therapy, It may safely
be said that many Of the hitherto IN
durable forms Of diseases have yielded
to its application, and many Of the
diseases already regarded as incur.
able have also been cured by the
scientific manipulation applied by the
skilled Osteopath-
/ You are not asked to receive
it by faith. If it stands the test, con.
forms itself to physiology, anatomy
and pathology, applies wellknown
and rational principles OF physiolog
ical physics, then the true scientific
spirit viii demand its acceptance
and justice viii provide a place fo1
it in the field Of therapy.

extracts are taken may be read II

William Hall

Although Mr.. William Hall had
been seriously ailing for the past few
months his many friends were never
theless shocked by his recent passing
at the German Hospital, Kansas City,
Mo. 1t was hoped that ne would re-
gain his health at least to some de-
gree, since conditions seemed favor
able, but the symptoms changed sud-
denly for the worse and the final call
came to him October 26, 1917. He
was born IN England on August 10,
1854, and died at the age Of sixty
days.
William Hall was well known in
our community. For many years he
lived in Hays and made a host of
friends. Two years ago he was mar
ried to Miss Sadie Bullock of our
city. They moved to Los Angeles,
where his recent sickness developed,
the result probably of some infection
received in South Africa, at the time
of the Boer War. He was brought to
Excelsior Springs and later to Kan
sas City. But the science and skill
of medicine could not stay the hand
of death. Funeral services were con-
Quoted by Rev. West in the Lutheran
Cnu1Cn WHICH ne frequently dILSnUSO
while he lived in Hays. The Masonic
order had charge of the body and
closed the services at the church.
The many beautiful flowers that
covered the bier showed the esteem
IN which William Hall was held by
his friends. It is difficult to think
that we shall see his face no more on
earth, but we cherish his memory.
Our deepest sympathy we extend es-
pecially to the widow in her bereave-
ment

low rates, and freight and passenger
rates are from Is to 20 per cent low
er than those in the United States"

the rates on freight and passenger
traffic here were the highest in the
