Richmond Gets
New Institute
The Interstate Doctors Have
Consented to Locate in
This City.

Doctors Cavrill and Culver. the two
doctors of the Interstate Doctors, who
have been II the city several days
looking the field over for a site for
the new Indiana institute, have at
last decided that Richmond is the
most promising city in eastern Indiana
and accordingly the institute will be
located here.
Richmond is certainly about as well
equipped with doctors and medical
institutions of various kinds as any
city Of its size in the west True, the
larger eastern cities enjoy some ad-
vantages not offered here, yet the
medical talent is not far behind and
enjoy an enviable reputation through
out the west.
But Richmond has always looked
toward advancement, always holds out
welcoming hand to any person or
institution which will locate here and
further the interests of her people;
and it is most royal welcome which
awaits the Ir(er-State doctors who an
nounce that they are preparing to open
a medical institute in Richmond with
In a few days.
The Interstate Doctors, as the name
implies. is an association of expert
medical specialists from many states
who have united to organize a new
school of medicine; new, more
scientific and positive system of cur
ing human ailments. For centuries
the world has been full of different
cults and isms in medicine; we had
the old root and herb doctor with pills
and quinine in heroic doses, the home
opath with his triturations Of infinites-
NAL doses, the eclectic, the osteopth,
the Christian Scientists, we were doc
tored at Hot Springs by multitude Of
men and methods. Some OF the pa
tents were cured. 1t was impossible
for the ordinary person to say which
method of treating disease was the
best and the physicians of the various
schools we're so biased that they could
only see good in their own methods,
all others were necessarily bad. Evil
IDENTIFY there is good in all of them,
for they all cured some cases; also
there is bad in all, for they all fail at
times and allow misery or death to
come where cure should be effected.
A tremendous stride forward was
made when the Association of Inter
State Doctors was formed. The found
ers of this association consisted of
eminent medical specialists from the
various schools of practice. Eclectics.
| homeopaths. allopaths, regulars and
irregulars met and agreed to drop
their prejudice and form a new sys-
tenn of treatment that would embrace
all the good points of the old methods
and leave out the bad. The result of
the efforts of these world-famed spe-
cialists of the various schools was the
wonderful system of treatment now
used by the Interstate Doctors All
this was not accomplished in a day or
week, but has taken years of patient
work by these specialists in the great
institutions in the east, homeopaths,
eclectics. allopaths, working side by
side, each throwing away his old ideas
when he was convinced there was
something better until at. last out of
old chaos and confusion came the
new and perfect system as is now
| used by the Interstate Doctors.
The costs of these specialists was
great not only in the labor of forming
the new system of treatment. but also
in the effort it cost them to ignore
| their pride in the various schools
| in which they were originally edu-
Gated But their reward has been
great. for they have seen health and
happiness restored to many pronounc-
! ed incurable by old methods.
AS above stated. the Interstate Doc
tors will open an institute in Rich
mond in few days. which will be the
first of the kind in Richmond. Details
