OS-TE-OP-A-THY
We believe it is posrable for the
Osteopathic lesion to be lost sight of
for a time, whilst one is constantly
taking a drug to overcome tbe effects
of disturbed innervation. !
For example, normal bowel aetivity
is dependent upon normal peristalio
aetivity, wbiob, in turn, is dependent
upon tbe activity of the centre! gov
erning the nerves supplying the in
testinal tract.
We all know, in cues where peris-
(alio activity is ohecked, induelng oon
ttipation, the administration ol
oatoartio will excite temporary aotion
ol tbe bowel; but it will not maintain
tbat action.
Remove tbe Osteopstbio lesion an
inhibitory influence aud permanent
authomatio aotion ensues. Herein
lies tbe difference between Osteopath
ic and drug therapy.

return in the -tame manner., ..How.
they subsist while1 gone they ' 'only

harmless passtime, but it oertainly" la
not conducive to the development ol
