Osteopathy Goes With Conserva
tive Surgery
Surgery Is a great art upon a truly
scientific basis, but, like many great
things, It is great! v overdone What
mankind wanta today la an excuse to
avoid operations, not multiplying
them. Surgery manifests too much
teal for operationa known to be useless
and fatal. 8urgeiy too often cute for
the sake of fees and love of cutting.
Osteopathy honors the conservative
surgeon and bia humane art; we appeal
to his aplendid skill as Health'a Court
of Last Resort ; but as Osteopathia
we exhauat every resource of Nature
very curative principle of our milder
art, before aufl'ering our patients to
run the aurglcal gauntlet. tf
