OSTEOPATHY IN THE NORTHLAND .

A Brief description of the Rise andProgress of the Institution Lo-

Bated at Red Wing, Min-nesota .

E . C . pickler

Red wing, Minnesota, is abeautiful city ' of 10;000 inhabi-tants, situated on the banks ofthe Father of waters, about 40miles from St. Paul and minneapolis The scenery in and

around the city is extremelypicturesque and beautiful . It lies

at the foot of Barn bluff, whichis said to be the highest andmost imposing landmark alongthe Mississippi, and on whosesummit is the grave said to con-tain the bones of the Indian chiefred Wing, from whom the citytakes its name .

Its people are aprogressive, wide-awake aridmost hospitable class, arid ittakes but a short time for themto make a stranger feel as if hewere at home and among friends.The country surrounding Red

wing is exceedingly rich and tit-?-,

arid the extensive fieldsof corn and small grain, lying atthe foot of the mighty, toweringbluffs form a picture never to be

forgoten the writer had thepleasure a short time since of

driving over the county in thisvicinity, arid a richer, more fertile and more beautiful country

it has never been his privilege tosee.To the city of red Wing, the

American School of osteopathyhas sent one of her ablest andbest graduates . dr. Charles E,Still, the oldest son of the found-er and discoverer, located in Red

wing almost one year ago. Al-though a comparatively youngman, Dr. Still is very proficientin the science as his wonderfulsuccess and the high esteem inwhich he is held by the best people of the city, will testify .

Byhis thorough knowledge of thegreat principles of Osteopathvand by his careful and conscien-tious work, he has established ahigh reputation with the citizensand his already large practiceis increasing rapidly. ofcourse he has met with themost determined oppositionfrom the medical fratern-ity. No trick has been to low,arid no scheme too vile for themto resort to, in order to injurehim, Lut each arid every one hasproved a boomerang to them,and they have been shown thefull force of the old proverb that"truth is mighty,- and will pre-vail ."

The sentiment in minnesota is fdst crystalizing in favor

of the truth, and the days of theautocracy of the medical fratern-

ity andthe

Board of health isfast approaching an end .

whenDr. Still first settled inRed wing the medical persuasionat once pronounced him a fraudand said he would probably lasta month, but not longer .whenthe month was up, they magnan-imously agreed to let him m

staythree months more, saying bythat time the people would findhim out and that he would

beforced to leave.

But Dr. Stillvery perversely refused to bestarved out, and his practicegre;v at such an astonishing ratethat the At . 1) .'s sate they couldnot freeze him out by fair means,so they resorted to foul .

Theyeven went so far as to try tohave him arrested arid jailed aridtried numerous other plans, allwhich recoiled upon their ownheads, and only emphasized thefact that one man cannot buildhimself up by attempting to pulla better one down .Dr . Still has clearly demon-

strated that he can successfullyhandle diseases that are beyondthe reach of the medical profes-sion, and evidence is not want-ing of many of their mistake ;which he has rectified . His won-derful success during the epidem-ics of diphtheria and measles,through which the city has latelypassed, has caused hundreds ofparents to bless the day thatosteopathy was given to theworld.

Dr . Still numbers amonghis patients some of the nest and

most prominent citizens of minnesotanesota arid wisconsin he hasa number of patients from st.

( Paul, minneapolis hastingswinona Duluth, lacrosse madisonison and other northern citiesand his business is constantly itcreasing, so that it is no incorsiderablesiderable factor in the amount cmoney brought to red wing anthe eitizens are not slow to searid appreciate this fact .we cannot close this articlwithout speaking of our visit toDiamond Bluff. wisconsinbeautiful little city ten miles frorlied wing, where Dr . A . T. stillthe founder of osteopathy, wainvited by the citizens to delivea lecture on the principles eirbodied in it . After a delightfulcarriage drive to the Bluff fromred wing, arid a bountiful sulper at mr. Willey's, Dr . Still dolivered a most

excellent addresto a large and enthusiastic andience arid the kind words andhearty grasps of the hand showed that osteopathy at this placwas known and appreciated .Truly the great common

wealths of Minnesota- and wisconsincousin are shoulder to shouldewith the foremost states is thUnion for enlightened intelligentand progressive people, and DrStill has chosen a rich soil inwhich to sow the seeds of thgreat truths embodied in thescience he represents ; a soil itwhich it will ever continue togrow and flourish until- all willbe made familiar with this greatthis priceless boon to the children of men .

DR . C. E. STILL.IFrom a Red Wing, minn Daily .

Fifty-six people waiting to visit,red wing the coming week tosee Dr . C. E . Still .They have not all been invited

to come because the doctor doesnot know of suitable

places forthem to room or board and men-tioned the fact to one of our citi-

';tens. John Richter has foundplaces for

about one-fourth ofthem .Any one will

confer a favorupon the doctor and red wingby notifying him, if they

can ac-commodate one or more for areasonable compensation .The patients the doctor has

here now from abroad are payingover :1.,000 per month to thecitizens of red wing for boardand lodging. This overworkedman needs room at once for 150new patients . :15,000 to $20,-000 will be paid out in red wingwithin a year by his patientsfrom abroad for board ifthe peo-ple will kindly

make room forthem .

The doctor's charges aremoderate .

His work speaks forfor itself.

As a matter

of fact;and business it will domany people good tored

and stay

a

Dr . Still here and she will not beslack in assisting the doctor infinding room for all his patients .He is a good advertisement

forour city.,

wewant to see his pa-tients here and the

money paid' for board arid lodging our peoplecan find use for.

He will find our' people appreciate his ability . Dr .' Still has had special inducementsa offered him lately to locate inthe larger cities .

So far he hasdeclined all offers made As

' many will be glad to get board-' ers, we do not think

Redwing ing

' will let this

enterprising youngdoctor lose patients for want ofaccommodations in our city.

' His integrity ;1 nd honorable wayof dealing with his patients willsoon make him one ofthe wealth-rest and most successful youngmen in our state.

A live manalways succeeds in red wing.

' Dr . Still knew where to locate .

No excess of waste is

The advocate of osteopathyhas the highest respect for thescience of surgery which hasbeen recognized as <t science inin all agesAs defined

by dunglison surgery is that part of the healingart which relates to external dis-eases, their treatment, and espe-cially to the manual operationsadapted for their cure."

Alittlemore definite is the

wording inChambers

encyclopedia-"Surgery signifies the manual inter-ference, by means of instrumentsor otherwise, in cases of bodilyinjury, as distinguished from thepractice of medicine whichdenotes the treatment of internal

diseases by means of drugs."As has been before stated the

object of (Osteopathy

is to

im-prove up - presentsystemsof surgery .wifery and treat-ment of g general diseases in otherwords it is a system of healingwhich reaches both internal andexternal diseases by manualoperations and without the useof drugs. In the common ac-ceptation of the word, as popu-larly understood . surgery means"cutting", and any reference toa surgeon's work calls up a men-tal picture ofsuch instruments asthe knife, scalpel

or lance, andtheir use upon the human body .We accept that part of surgeryalso as of great use and benefitto mankind .

An Osteopath willuse a: knife to remove any uselessparts,trs tisickly- as a Carpenterenterlwould use a saw to remove a useless piece of timber.

we recognize the necessity' forhandages, lint, splints, stays andanesthetics because they haveproven their beneficial uses .But when should the knife be

used' never until all the nerves,veins, and arteries have failed torestore a healthy, condition ofthe body inall its parts andfunctions.

The great

failing

ofmany who enter surgical work,is their too frequent use of theknife and anesthetics. whereChloroform is used a hundredtimes, ninety-nine tithes it couldhave been avoided with

beneficinal results to the patient,many are the sufferers

who gothrough life disfigured, maimedor deprived of some essential or-organ who should have had their

body restored to a perfect condi-tion without being so mutilated.The oftener the knife is used

upon the limbs, body or head forany purpose the more positively isshown an inexcusable ignoranceof the natural law which we recognizeas a law ableto restore

any and sell parts where death ofthe tissues has not occurred .

the diseases treated

successj fully by Osteopathy are those

resultingfrom any abnormalcondi-.tiOD of the nerves, bloodvesselsor other fluids of the body

caused edby partial or complete dislo-cation of the bones, muscles ortissues The following list of',diseases, with many others, havesuccumbed to osteopathic treat-ment, often %shell all else hasfailed : brian Fever, cerebro-spinalmeningitis headache Gran-ulated eyelids, dripping Eyes,

At muscotah, atchison county,Kansas, there are three gradu-ates of the American school ofOsteopathy osteopathy who are successfully

j introducing the new science intothat part of the country . drsherman T . Still . Elbert Rickartand j. H. ().borne have beentreating them " for thepast monthand their flattering ,access is buta forerunner of the future awaited,ing all qualified osteopaths .

sons .but the third son, l)..Harm- m. still . who was the firstto take up his lather's work andwho was a practical operatorlong before the thought had eve .'occurred to anyone that, herewas a science worthy of lifelong,study and

To Prospective Patients .

Those coming to us for treatment willsave themselves much inconvenience,by preparing fcr somewhat longecourse of tretament treatment than is usually doneby the average patient Very few case.can be safely discharged on less than onemonth's treatment and longer timeshould be given in most cases.

After thecause of the trouble has been removedthe patient should

remain antler treat-inent for a time: in order to

more

surelyreceive lasting benefit .

of course somecases are cured in a few treatments, some

j in a single treatment, but they arecomratively few.'Allshould makeup

their minds to take just the course of:, treatment that may be prescribed at thetime of their examination,

TWO DAMS .

G . w. TULL .

On Friday, May 31st, 1889,the great "south Forks Tram"burst and spread death and des- Itruction through the little valleyin which Johnstown, Pa . . is sit-uated . There seems to bavebeen only one class who suffered,those who could not or did notreason and who built their dwell-ings below the danger line ofhightwater They placed toomuch confidence in the stabilityof the dam and its constructorsas the sequel provedThe builders did put somegood

material in it, solid blocks ofatone masonry, which stood thetremendous pressure of waterwhen the straw and shale ofwhich either parts was constructed head broken away It was in-

herently weak by reason of the',ignorance of its builders and con-tained within it the elements ofdeath and destruction . Therewere, to be sure, a few feeble pro-tests now and then against themethod of its construction andthe material used ; but in themain the people seemed notafraid of any calamity even af-ter repeated warning, so indif-ferent bad they become to theactual danger of a break in thedam .

But it came at last andburied hundreds of poor unfor-tunates under the shale, strawand debris of the dam, lake andvalley Now for a parallel and

application of the above.'there has been a dam in

processof building for many centur-ies past, to the erection of whichhas been donated the results andproductions of many minds.Many have devoted their lives tothe upbuilding of this structure,and it as a whole represents thelabor and toil of thousands.This dam is not all bad and tono purpose. The solid masonryof stone in the darn at Johns-town is typical and representsknowledge of the anatomy andphysiology with here and there,a section representing works ofscientific research which are goodand add to our general fund ofknowledge.

The straw and shale ,at Johnstown typifies all theworks ever produced on thegreat(?) results obtained by theuse of drugs in particular diseas-es which afflict, mankind .The water above the dam rep-

resents the thousands of differ-ent drugs, the grand aggregationof all the poisonous chemicalsand nauseous drugs obtainedfrom all parts of the world .The dam at Johnstown was

built for the purpose of forminga pleasure resort. This otherlake was intended as a "healthresort," but alas it has provena sad failure tax millions couldtestify if they had not partakenof its waters too freely The damand lake at johnstown had onlyone or two men as "keepers" to

look after the dam .

The "healthresort" lake has many, verymany guardians who are bandedtogether as a medical fraternity .Unlike the dam at Johnstown ithas not burst suddenly and waft-ed into eternity in a few fleetingmoments the victims of ignor-ance sand over confidence ; onthe other hand its overflow hasbeen going on for centuriesThrough many crevices in thewall of this dam trickles the viledecoctions from the lake above,some clear and sparkling as adew drop in

the

morning

sun, jothers dark and turbid like thewater of an "Irish Bog," nearlyall with ar. odor and taste thatwould nauseate a "Digger In-dian;" all of which the m. D.'s .smilingly and confidently recom-mend as sovereign remedies forall ailments of the human familyand dispense them in Alopathic,Eclectic and homeopathic doses.But there is a change coming,this dam is bursting and it willcarry destruction, not to the peoplepie as did the dam at johnstownbut to ignorance, intolerancearid bigotry and I came nearsaying empiricism .An osteopathic rat is at work

in this dam and will make sucha hole that the fabric will soongive way .

Theshale and strawof ignorance with the agglomeration of all poisonous distilla-tions above the dam will passdown the valley forever.
