KNIFE SELDOM IS FAVORED Body Considered Own Drugstore and System Employed to Aid Na ture Remedy Defects; Large Crowd Hears Physicians. "Osteopathy is a revolution in the systems of therapy," declared Dr. T. J. Ruddy, of Los Angeles, in his lecture at the public programme given at the Baker Theater last night as the formal opening of the Rational Convention of tha Osteopathic Association. "It does not destroy any of the established things that are fundamental. But we see In the human body its own drug store. All we do la liberate the blood streams that carry these drugs to per form their healing mission." Dr. -Ruddy outlined at length, with tbe aid of stereopticon slides, various methods of osteopathic treatment of diseases, whlclfhe maintained are su perior either to drugs or surgery. The special field covered by his lec ture was th treatment of diseases of children. He denied that surgery is necessary to relieve the conditions produced by adenoids. "OsteoDathv shun, surgery almost as it does drags." he said-' "We all have adenoids. We need them. They are there to protect us against disease. When they become enlarged - through disease our osteopathic treatment does not remove and destroy them, as sur gery does; it reduces them and keeps them for the purpose for which they were intended. "Surgery is not indicated in treat ment of 'adenoids." Similarly, he declared, that the os teopathic treatment is superior to other methods for treatment of deafness caused-by inflammation and congestion of the eustachian tube. "We do not thrust instruments into the tube or drench it with strong drugs; instead by manipulation we re lease the blood supply to it ana let na ture complete the work." Surgery did not suffer so sharply from the criticism of the osteopaths in their addresses yesterday as drug methods of healing, and in many cases they declared that surgery Is neces sary. The use of drug. In treatment of dlsea.e found little support from any of them. Dr. A. G. Hildreth. or the Still-Hll-dreth sanitarium of Macon, Mo., an in stitution established a year ago for the treatment of the insane, gave a short outline of the purposes of . this insti tution, which was founded, he said, to pioneer the development of the osteo pathic system'of treatment of Insanity. "If by our treatment we can cure 15 per cent of the cases." he said, "it will be admitted that the treatment of In sanity baa been revolutionised through osteopathy. "In the first three months of this year we discharged 37 patients, and of these SS per cent were cured." Dr. Ivan Dufur, of Philadelphia, a specialist in the treatment of nervous disorders, closed the evening with a series of motion picture showing th method, of educating and training the feeble-minded. T. T. Oeer wa. chairman and th opening remark, were mad by Dr. R. Kendrlek Smith, of Boston. The Interest of the public In the con vention and In the work of osteopathy wss Indicated by the attendance of an audience which filled the seats in the theater and crowded into the standing room space in the rear nf the hall.
