Osteopathy Goes With Conserva
tive Surgery
Surgery Is a great art upon a truly
soientifli) basis, but, like many great
things, it ia greatly overdone What
mankind wants today Is an exouse to
avoid operations, not multiplying
them. Surgery manifests too much
zeal for operationa known to be useless
and fatal. Surgery too often cuts for
the sake of fees and love ot cutting.
Osteopathy honors the conservative
surgeon and hla hnmaue art; we appeal
to hia aplendid akill as Health's Court
of Last Resort ; but as Osteopatbists
we exhaust every resource of Nature
every curative principle of our milder
art, before suftering our patients to
run the surgical gauntlet. tf
