DIR CREED.

We believe in God we love nature,
because it is his handiwork, and we be-
lieve that the human body is the great
est of all His creations.
We believe that He created the hui
man body to perform certain work
that III this creation, He reached per-
f2ction: that since the body is perfect
IL constructed for the performance of
certain work, it will accomplish these
tasks just so long as it is kept in har-
mony with the environment which He
created for it.
We believe that, to this end, He gave
to each body mind capable of observ-
ing the laws of nature and of adjust
ing its body thereto! that He gave us
food. water and air. with which to
nourish the body and that He gave us
the special senses, sight hearing,
touch, etc, with which to protect it.
We believe that if we transgress the
laws of nature, knowingly or otherwise,
we shall suffer from abnormal func-
tioning of the body or its parts, until
we have made use Of these gifts of
mind to correct such abnormal condi-
lions and that the methods best to use
are the natural ones which have been
given us, rather than the artificial ones
which we have invented ourselves.
We believe in our fellow man, be-
cause he is Gods creation that he was
made after perfect ideal and that his
own ideal is to become perfect that
| in his determination to become perfect
he displays both strength and weak
ness CHS natural characteristics /;
strength in his confidence in creation
weakness in failing to realize that
perfection is possible only by Gods
creation.
We believe that the fruits of mans
efforts along these lines are the things
which are making for his advancement
morally, physically and intellectual
ly. that most of his efforts have been
devoted to physical and mental de
velopment because they are the fore
runners of moral development, and that
moral development is sure to follow
that these efforts along the lines OF
physical and menal development have
resulted in a wonderful knowledge OF
the intricate mechanism of the human
body-of it's propagation, care and adj
justment that from this knowledge he
has developed the modern scientific
methods Of. therapeutics. methods
which are revolutionizing his way OF
living and his fight against the rayages
of disease; that the greatest of these
meInOuS, ana the one nearest TO peFIeC
ton. il the science of Osteopathy.
We believe in .Osteopathy as the
greatest corrective measure for these
abnormal conditions because it is tht
natural one and consequently the one
most effective and least injurious. w,
feel that we owe no apology to science
in offering Osteopathy as our creates
therapeutic measure, simply becaus,
it is in full harmony with other law,
of nature and is child of her owl
production.
Finally, we feel that it is our par
in the struggle of the human race to
ward physical and mental perfection
to make known to our fellow man tn,
, possibilities and the advantages of thi
new system of therapeutics, called Os
teopathy. that he, too, may share in it
distribution and that Osteopathy ma.
serve him as 1t is serving SO man.
! others.
"All good things we would wish you
A splendid trooping host
But health and strength and vigor
We wish you first, last, most"
