Richmond May
Get Institute
Representatives Are Making
a Tour of the State Now.
Looking Over the City and
Express Admiration for
Richmond.

For some time the Interstate Doc
tors have had their representative
looking over Richmond with the view
of establishing a permanent institute
in this city. These doctors have in
stitutes in various cities of the United
States and it is their intention to es-
tabIish a new institute somewhere in
Eastern Indiana. 1t is to be hoped
that Richmond can secure one of their
permanent medical establishments as
these great medical gentlemen have
built up national reputation. These
great doctors have combined their
forces to establish new and more
positive system for curing chronic
and deep-seated diseases.
The Interstate Doctors, as the name
implies, is an association of expert
medical specialists from various
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 his bit
ter poisons: the allopath doctor with
pills and quinine in heroic doses. the
homeopaths with his triturations and
infinitestimal doses, the electric, the
ogteopath. the Christian scientist;
we were doctored at Hot Springs and
by a multitude of men and methods.
Some of the patients were cured. 1t
was impossible for the ordinary per-
son to say which method of treating
diseases was the best, and the ply
sicians of the various schools were
so biased that they could only see
good in their own methods, all others
were necessarily bad. Evidently
there is good in all of them for they
all cured in 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 foun-
ders 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
the good and leave out the bad. The
result of the efforts Of these world
famed specialists of the various
schools was the wonderful system of
treatment. now used by the Inter
state Doctors. All this was not ac-
complished in a day or week, but
has taken years of patient work by
these specialists in the great insti-
tutions in the East-homeopaths, &C.
lectics, 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 cost of these specialists was
great, not only in the labor of form
ing the new system of treatment; but
also in the effort it cost them to ig-
more their pride in the various schools
in which they were originally educat.
ed But their reward has been great.
for they have seen health and happf-
ness restored to many pronounced in
durable by old methods.-Adv.
