Vvhat Osteopathy Is Not . -
Many people bold the idea that Oa
toonathy la the aaine sa maaaaga i and
some say It la a system of rubbing. In
fact some of the enemiea of the science
try to make Ihoso ideas prodonilnnto.
I want to any to those ee' king lo get a
true Idea of Osteopathy that It Is not
rubbing. It la seldom that the hands
of the oprrator ever slip on the body of
the patient.- The Osteopath doea not
rub: he takiB Hold and seta a bone,
stimulates a nervo, opens up a stag'
nsnt blood channel, corrects a llga
mentor atendon, puts Into (position a
misploood rgan, stretches a con ti acted
inne In, and liy scenliflo manipulations
Influences the activity of any organ of
the body and lu. ieafea or diminlheB
the amount of blood flow lo. any part
of the system. ,. ,
But moat to be 'considered is the fnct
that Osteopathy cures many a case that
never exp eteil recovory.
