Will the People of Kirksville Per-suade Him to Remain or Will

They Allow Him to De-part From Our

City .

An enthusiastic meeting of Our Citizensat the City hall monday \Tight .

From the kirksville Democrat.

At a meeting of the citizensheld Monday night at the cityhall, to devise ways and meansfor making a donation to theAmerican school of osteopathyin order to retain the school andI)r still in our city, S. m. Linkwas chosen chairman and J. o .Gooch secretary

several of our enterprising cit-izens had been working up ascheme to procure the fairgrounds site for a location forthe school and had met with somuch encouragement that theydetermined upon calling- themeeting to further the ends de-sired.The project of donating the

fair grounds was pretty general-ly discussed, but it see::s thatsome of the stock holders areloth to give up the fair groundsand that some other groundswill be selected .S. M . fickler, in a speech, offered to donate five acresofground

on the west side of town and sellau $100 per acre ten or moreacres off the same body of hand .R. m. Brashear proposed to

donate ten acres of ground in theeastern part and if Dr . Still de-cided to locate on same, hethought he could insure a street

railway from both railroad de-pots to the location . otherpropositions are being formu-lated.

A committee was appointed bythe chair to receive written prop-ositions from those offering. t odonate ground, and take sub-scriptions of money toward buy-ing more ground or making -fur-ther donations toward securing-the location of the institution .

This committee set Tuesdaymorning as a date for meeting

and conferring with thosemaking land propositions and also

to secure money donations.It has been learned that Seda-

lia has madedr.

still asubstantrial proposition to locate in that

city and our citizens feel it is hightime they were making an effort.to retain ham here .The meeting was largely at-

tended and many of our best and

wealthiest citizens were present.At the close of a general dis-

cussion of the subject, thefollowing resolutions were unanimously

adopted :

we the citizens of Kirksville, assembled at the mayors office this evening,May 28, 1894 to take into consideration jthe advisability of assisting to erect aninfirmary to conjunction with Dr. A. T .Still for his use and the benefit of human-ity beg to express our appreciation of hisgreat ability as the founder andexponentof the School of Osteopathy : That

we as citizens feel proud of him as a fel-low townsman That we have the ut-most confidence in his skill as a healer,as is evidenced by hundreds of his pa-tients who come halt and lame and departin a f°_w weeds with light hearts andstraightened limbs :

That we believe inhis intergrity as a man ; and we feel proudthat he has gained a national reputationand made Kirksville known in everystate in the union And we most earnestly ask Dr . Still to remain with us andwe promise him substantial aid, and ourmost hearty support in holding up hishands, as the greatest healer of moderntimes.

The law of life is absolute .That wonderful, unknown andincomprehensible force which fur-'nishes the power to move themachinery of all animate bodies ;is felt but not understood .

ofourselves we are unable to sup-ply any one substance requiredin the economy of our bodies,yet there is a force within usw which can select from the

givenmaterials such substances Lis areneeded to form any part of the'human system .

OBITUARY .

Fred Still was born inbaldwin Kansas, onthe25th dav of

January, 1874 . As a youth andyoung man he was quiet andstudious, not inclined to themore active and boisteroussports of boyhood, but seemedto find his chief delights in

mental activity .He-raduatedfromthe city schools at 1".) years of

ageand

wasthe youngest

scholar ever entering the preparatorydepai department of the normal school .he was a member of the firstclass of osteopathy which opened

in the fall of 1892

Thefollowing summer he wasavery

successful operator, being devoted heart and soul to the science .The one object toward which hestrove, the one hope inspiring hiswhole being, was that he mightbe able to take up the banner ofosteopathy when his father laidit down, and carry it to

higherplanes and more complete devel-opinent.

Fred's death was causedprimarilyby being crushed between

a horse and the wall of a barn,causing a complete displacementof the heart, inflicting an injury,the adjustment of which was be-yond the reach of human power.during his long sickness ever"comfort that thoughtful headsand loving bearts could devisewere given him, but they onlyserved to alleviate his suffering -and to briefly prolong has life .His last waning strength was

given to thecauseof osteopathy .while lying on his bed in sunnyCalifornia, a little girl with a

broken wrist was brought tohim .while pile his

uncle

held

thearm, Fred set it and sent the lit-tle one away happy, leaving be-hind her heart-felt thanksduring his life he wasalways

conscientious, exemplary. andestimable, and no young man inthe city was more respected thanhe .Although he is gone the influ-

ences of such lives as his cannotbe lost . His example is worthyof emulation, and to the bereav-ed family the comfort comes thatFred is 'not lost but gone be-fore."We live in deeds, not years in thought. not

The object of the AmericanSchool of osteopathy is to im-prove upon the present Systemsof surgery midwifery and treat-'

ment of general diseases which,the adjustment of bones is theleading Feature .

The object ofosteopathy

is toestablish and maintain acompletecircuit ofthe forces ofthe motersell-

sory and sympathetic nerves : to and'from the brain to all the organs

tissues (flood and other vessles andto the whole of the human systemthat pertains to tire nourishment,

strength or growth of bone skin, ap-pendages or the ;+oft parts of the

bodyIt also establishes free cir-culation of all electric or other fluids,force or substance pertaining to life .Health is 2l result c f the harmoniousaction of the system when all partsare un-irritated by :any cause ; either

by diminished flow ofthefluidsofthe arteries veils,;, or nerve force orby partial or complete dislocation ofboll(- muscles tissues membranesor parts of the whole system .

Itadjusts the machinery of man'and nature does the w ork .

nothing proves better the ar-tificial state of roan, than theartificial means he uses to try toadjust himself to nature's laws."Fever is the result of increased

action of the electricity flowingover the nerves deep or superfi-cial . The qualified osteopath',controls either extreme of temp-erature in the body as easily asthe electrician controls the flowof electricity

opathy has lost her brightest star and ourcity one of her most exemplary and prom-ising young men .That in his death we recognize all the

more clearly the great principle taughtby our science that an infringement ofNature's laws caused by an injury, bringswith it a penalty that must be paid, andthat for perfect results we must have aperfect adjustment of the human mechan-ism .

A . T . STILL.

To Prospective patientsThose coming to us for treatment will

save themselves much inconvenience,by preparing for a somewhat longercourse of treatment than is usually doneby the average patient . Very few casescan be safely discharged on less than onemonth's treatment, and longer timeshoilid be given in most cases .

After thecause of the trouble has been removedthe patient should

remain under

treat-nieut for a time in order to

more surelyreceive lasting benefit .

Of course somecases are cured in a few treatments, somein a single treatment, but they are com-paratively few .

All should make uptheir minds to take just the course oftreatment that may be prescribed at thetime of their examination .

LOUISIANA, Mo., April 30, '94 .It is with pleasure that I state what

osteopathy has done for me .

I havebeen in ill health for five

years afflicted with paralysis and heart troub-le. 1 doctored with physicians of themedical profession but receiving nobenefit became completely

discouraged I became helpless as a baby--could not raise my head from myshoulders to save my life.

Hearing ofOsteopathy, my husband brought meforthwith to Kirhsville on the 22ndday of November, in an invalid chair .I was not able to bear any weight onmy feet at all .

I improved from thefirst

treatment . - After

seventeenweeks I have perfect use of my headand bodyTo-day I can walk anydistance with ease and feel as if Inever knew the dire affect of paraly-sis .

I do not hesitate, but am gladto recommend Osteopathy to all suf-ferers .my husband and I can neverbe grateful enough to Dr . A . T . Stilland Osteopathy for what has beendone for me .

SECOND PAPER ON THE LEGALSTATUS OF OSTEOPATHY .

- t' . f . GREENWOOD .

The theory upon which Medicalmonopolistic laws are based, is :1st. That

they elevate the medical profession and.

2Stich laws are a

protecttion and safeguard to the citizen.'If such laws cannot be upheld

upon these tow propositions,then they must. fall .At the threshold of this subject

we are met by the question, "Doyou think it right that the citi-zens should be imposed upon byquacks and empyrics thinkingthey are employing skillful regu-lar physicians`?" The only an,

swer is most emphatically, "No."but on the contrary I believe it Inot only proper and right thatthe citizens be protected from allsuch pretenders and frauds, butthat every practitioner of what-,

eyer name or

school should berequired under heavy penaltiesfor failure to do so, constantly tokeep in a conspicuous placewhere his patients

can readilyexamine and see not only his di-ploma, but his final grade in eachand every branch required by theschool of which he is a graduate,or the grade made before the ex-amining board that passes

onhis qualifications . I would at-tach heavy penalties on thosegranting diplomas or grades un-less actually merited and earnedby the holder thereof.

I would'require that be advertise at alltimes in his office of what school',he is a practitioner .

In thi

swayI would protect the citizen fromimpostors, but never by forcinghim toemploy aphysician of anycertain school .of what is an ordinary

diplo-ma from any institution of learning

evidence? only that thepossessor knew the least possibleamount upon which his diplomacould be granted . how manyare there in a class of fifty grad-uates who, merely by the skin oftheir teeth, escape the dead linein many of the branches of thecurriculum?

Yet he who makesthe average grade of 60 or 70,out of a perfect grade of 100,goes out into theworld flauntinghis diploma in Latin (that ninetimes in every ten he can't readhimself) a full-fledged m 1) . ofsome one of the three schoolsmentioned in my former article.where, then . is the protection

to the citizen from quacks, experimenters and novices in thepresent place'' what is the dif-ference to the citizen between aquack and a dolt'' hence IIwould go to the foundation andrequire the highest evidences pos-sible of the qualifications of each

and every practitioner beforeturning him

loose to finish hiseducation by experimenting upon

the human familyI would protect the citizen byelevatingthestandard ofactual

knowledge required to practicemedicine and surgery . I wouldenlarge the class of schools Iwould be bound by no creeds ordogmas. Science cannot be lim-ited by meters and bounds . andthe time will soon come when theentire theory of medicine will bepreventative instead of curative .

I would leave the citizen free toselect his physician just as hewould his church or his politics .

If the citizen has not brainsenough to take care of himselfany legislation cannot supplyhim .

A Personal Letter from a GentlemanWho is in a Position to Know

WhereofHe Speaks .

we are in receipt of the follow-ing communication which speaksfor itself and which with pleasurewe give space in order that thereaders of the journal mayhave some idea of the positionosteopathy has grown to occu-py in the minds of progressive,thinking people .

worldand who are ever ready to graspa new thought and appreciatenew ideas .following is

the letter in full .OMAHA, NEB ., JUNE 5, '91 .

D1: . A . t . 'STILL, Kirksvillo, mo-My Dear doctor - I have beenthinking for some days of addressingyou a fete lines

to tell you of thegreat and good things I hear aboutOsteopathy in my travels . if youcould only be a "mouse in a corner"some time when in the hotel office orto the busy street or on the flyingcar, and hear the praise from peoplewith whom I come in contact concerning the 'science of Osteopathy,

would surely come to believe thatyou and your science are destined tobecome as permanently fixed in theminds of coming ,'generations as

thelaws of gravity are fixed in this .

th®idea that disease can actually be cur-ed without the use of drugs at

firstseems preposterous, but when onceexplained and the laws that governthe practice of osteopathy fully un-folded they simply look in astonishment and exclaim, "Why has notsome one discovered this before?" "Itis so simple and so easily under-stood," and so it goes from morningtill night.

From one week's end toanother I hear nothing but praisesfor osteopathy People have begunto look upon it in all seriousness andearnestness and it is no uncommonthing to hear

souse young progress-ive person speak out and say thattrey are going to attend the Amer;-can School of Osteopathy and masterthe science, that they feel osteopathy is destined to rule the

world at least so far as healing theafflicted and curing the sick are con-cerned .

They have begun to look up-on medicine as a complete failure,that it is wrong to throw anything sooffensive and uninviting into the del-icate, worn out stomach, and thatosteopathy pure and simple, is thecoming panacea and the iong sought

remedySince the

journal of osteopathy has been ushered out uponthe restless waters of the journalistic

sea, I hear so many comments aboutthe Drogress Osteopathy has made .A prominent citizen of Trenton, Mo.,wasin possession of a number of cop-ies during my last visit- to that pointand was scattering them right andleft, giving them to everybody afficted and occasionally an m.d.would L

come in contact with a copy and real-ly his eyes would "bug out" till youcould scrape them off with a stick .The starting of this journal I am sat- .isfied

has done more to bring theIImedicine doctors to their senses than

ail other arguments combined theycannot help but speak in praise ofyour enterprise and devotion you areso plainly manifesting . More thanone has told me that you wera OD theright track in many respects and thatthey were not administering nearlyso much medicine as in former yearsthey, too, are beginning to look uponOsteopathy as a science within itself,pure and simpie, and that sooner orlater must attract the attention of thescientific world .
