! With the number of osteopaths
| in the world amounting to 5000
being equallcd by the humber of
medical doctors in a few OF the
largest cities and with nearly
1900 OF our number volunteer
| ing for service in the war, the
cry for more students to enter
our profession increases. To one
| having Il high school education
no more attractive profession can
be found than the study OF Os-
teopatily.
AS there arc so many students
from our osteopathic colleges GO
ing to war, we wish to do our bit
to induce others to consider This
opportunity to make oneself most
useful and happy in the con-
seriousness that they arc doing a
great service in relieving suffer
ing and distress and getting all
the reward one may expect from
efficient service, honorahly per
formed. Young women as we'll as
young men are making good uni
versally, it they measure up TO
reasonable demands and are llp to-
average requirements. There is
but one town in This county be-
sides Missouri Valley having an
osteopath. There is but one this
side of Sioux City, but two in
Boone, town of 10000. Many
towns that size have no osleo-
path and would support SEVERAL
Some towns have an ostcopath
for each thousand of population,
and they can we'll support them
if they can deliver the goods" as
they should.
AS an illustration of condi-
tions i'm some colleges, the fra
terGity OF Masonic students at
kirksvillc, twelve out of twenty
who room at their club house
have either gone to- war or have
been drawn.
The tuition is 5000 for the
course, which is four years. your
books and living expenses, of
course, are extra.
Anyone undecided upon their
choice of vocation or profession
should make investigation of This
attractive field.
1t means hard work a-plcnty,
though most fascinating and at
lractivc if one wishes lo make
their life worth while.
Ostcopathy, like electricity, is
only i'm its infancy.
SO long as we cannot under
stand how it is possible to cure
conditions considered impossible
even by our own members, we can
be charitable with others who
misjudgc or misreprescnt our
science.
The lecture at our Ghaufauuua
though very able in many ways,
admitted ii not boasted OF the in
efficacy of most drugs. The good
doctor claimed as many people
were cured by colored water as by
drugs, and admitted the many
frauds practiccd upon suffering
humanity.
Though a medical doctor he adj
mlftcd that osteopathy made peo-
pie feel good, though he re-
ferrcd to our methods as pub
bling the spine," an ignorant or
prejudiced mis- statement of fact
ineXcusable from one claiming
The right to the platform TO dis
cuss such subjects.
Ii you are one willing to still
be pioneer in the science, we
urge capable, worthy students to
enter our profession.
Millions within our borders
still look upon oslcopalhy as "a
mysterious fraud, others still
suppose it is but a scientific mas
sage as our chaulauqua doctor
|intimated.
BY the uniformed and preju-
diced you will be regarded with
pity if not suspicion, by your pa
irons you will he held i'm highest
esteem if not reverence. Your
trlumphs and successes will re-
pay you immeasurably. Think it
over. DRS. GAMBLE.
