Lawson & Zundell Phone 1113 Free delivery Jeffenon Avenne A Trial order solicited OSTEOPATHY ON THE STAGE A Decided Innovation in Mr. Thomas Very Latest Bit of Dramatic Work-Plot Hinges . Upon an Osteopathic Treat ment, Which is Given Before the Audience and Ends All Complications. At tbe Savoy Theatre, New York City, mauy otherwise progressive Americans received their first real la formation about the science ot Osteo pathy on the evening or Januaay 11th. It was a first night," and the fact that t' e play was the latest work o tbe foremost American playwright Augustus Thomss, was tufficient to rail together a large audience. The title of the piece, ''Mrs. Letflnawell's Boots," was not calculated to inspire any fear of tbe serious or tragio. SERIOUS THOUGHT IS COMEDY. "If f hey would let me." Mr Thorn as once declared, "I would write plays so serious that uoono.ould come to them." And, sa a rev.ewer in tbe Evening Telegram notes, he has since become such a master of the comedy form that be Is able to slip in some serious thought without permitting bis andieEos to teoome aware that they are being educated ai well as amused. And he has, with tbis Kblli ty, the courage of his convictions. THE POINT OF THE PLAY Richard Ainslie, in tbe Thomas pro-1 ductlon, does a number of eccentric things that cause the laughable com plications of the pieoe. There arises a doubt as to his sanity, and a friend recalls (hat he suffered for some time from a blow received at college. He discusses the matter with old 1. Ram sey, who tells ho he himself once was mentally affect d aa tbe result ot an Injury, and bo, after three years of suffering, he was set right again by Dr. Still, tbe founder ot Oeteupa'.Ly, during a visit to Kirksville. He ex plains Osteopathy a' some length and it ia resolved that Ainslie sball be compelled to submit to examination by Dr. Ramsey, who is now a duly graduated Osteopathic physician. Tbe eccentrio young man is caught attempting to burglarize his friend's house. This famishes an excuse for binding him, and while thus bound he is examined by Dr. Ramsey, the Osteo path of tbe play. Dr. Rumsey speed ily locates the spinal mal-adjustment or ' lesion," that has resulted from tbe injury of college nays, and very quick restores order br manipulation accord ing to Osteopathic methods. Ainslie, In consequence, becomes mentally competent Hain, and makes a confess ion that clears np 'the complications reeulting from his mad performances. COMMENTS OE THE1 PRES3 Mr. Thomas has declared that tbe Osteopathia featuie ia the one serious thing in tbe plat, and the newspaper reviewers seem inclined to marvel at his audacity in Introducing it. They marvel, too, at the consummate skill with which tbis educational feature is blended into such an admittedly amus ing production; and acknowledge as tonisbmtnt at the eaee w ith w hich tbe audience is made, to accept the cure performed aa both natural and teason able. But why nolT All the world is rapidly accepting Osteopathy as the most rational healing system ever evolved, and Mr. Thomas, who has long had opportunity to note its good work, knows whereof be writes. And an extended success fur . his play is predicted even by those who do not approve of hie audacious innovation For years the youug eon of Augustus Thomas .Sad a slight ntfection of the spine. Many specialists doctored the boy in vain, until Mr. Thomns took him to an Osteopath. In a few reeks he was entirely cured. And now Mr. Tbjmas, out of gratitude, bits made an Osteopath one of the heroes of bis new comedy, "Mrs. Leiflngwell's Boots." N V Town Topics.
