GLEANINGS.
While recognizing the body as a ma
chine, osteopathy goes farther and
avers that it Is a self-lubrlcatlng, Belf
regulatlng and self-restoring machine
one that Is always tending toward
normal, whose functions become seri
ously perverted only through abuse or
Violence or the presence of micro
organisms. "Every living organism.
says Dr. Still, "has within it the power
to manufacture and prepare all chem
icals, materials and forces needed to
build and rebuild itself, together with
all the machinery and apparatus re
quired to do this work in the most
perfect manner, producing the only
substance that can be utilized in the
economy of the individual. No mater
ial other than food and water taken
In satisfaction of the demands of the
appetite (not perverted taste) can be
introduced from the outside without
detriment."
. . . Osteopathy holds that the
point is often reached where nature.j
unassisted, cannot restore health, be
cause there are perverted structural
conditions which hinder the free
course of nature's healing agents, and
It Is necessary to open up these chan
nels of Interchange between the cells
of function and their source of supply.
In other words, the physician must
sometimes supplement the work of na
