a NEW DISCO vERv l7}.s
/ Last week there appeared an
article in the Times copied from
tho Medical Record. telling about
a new method the medical men
have discovered for increasii1E the
Circulation of the spinal cord, in
treatment for Infantile paralsis.
Until this method was discover
led ~ they claim there was no
way to rebuild the spinal cord tis-
sues following injury from dis
icase. They recommend method
OF swing and jerking the child, as
often and as strongly as they. may
endure, for improving children
crippled from this disease.
Fortunately there are many
medical practitioners who are
awake and honest with the welfare.
of their patients at heart, SO fhey;1
send them to the osteopatiio ply
sicians for treatment Of these
conditions, and they are getting
much credit for the Improvement
they then make, with a treatment
that is rational, scientific and IN
advance Of such barbarism as is
advised by the Medical Record ar
ticle.
Some who denounce osteopathy
because they are either i'll in
formed or prejudiced, will take
the inconsistent position OF adj
vising that osteopathy be taught
in their medical colleges. If our
system does not cure many Ills
incurable by other methods, it
should die a natural death, and is
unworthy of being taught. How.
ever, our colleges are increasing
i'm strength and students, as are
also the supporters Of the science
every year.
The American Chamber of
Commerce of Paris this fail sent
to this country an appeal for an
osteopath to locate in Paris,
promising him their support and
!. patronage in most generous de-
gree. Their request was met by
graduate. from last summers
class at Kirksville.
6 Reverting to infantile paradise,
we have had many inquiries for
the results obtained upon the
four cases that occurred here last
summer and have been under
!, treatment since they became
paralyzed. The back and legs
were involved in all four cases,
i. and 1.-THE arms affected. more or
less in three of them. n
None of them could walk after
affected. Two Of them now walk
very we'll indeed, 80 it would be
difficult to detect any limp; the
. other two are still gaining and
under treatment twice weekly,
y with very satisfactory results!
: when all things are considered!
We have been as appreciativd
as the parents of the physicians
who advised them to take osteopl
athy, and are glad we are enabled
j, to prove the claims we have made
: in the past for our school OF
treatment in such conditions. The
. parents express profound regrets
in those cases whichadid not GET
the treatment early, and urge that
|other parents be made more ia
I miliar with osteopathy, SO they
Twill not lose valuable time III
. Fnegleoting their children, should
they ever be so unfortunatet to get
this affliction. Upon the other
hand, some of our patrons com
plain to us that they have more
trouble in getting immediate at
tention without appointments as
they could a few years ago, and
ask as why we continue educating
the public upon osteopathX whenl
& we are already doing all the work
we should, and more than we used
to do when we had two other
towns for branch offices.
d! An advertisement that struck
us forcibly says, those who I'M
derstand, recommend 8. We wish
all to understand Ind will do our
bit that they mays.
