The final rote, which ahowed Dr. Snyder winning by a majority of three votes, did not deter the Wlmer-Ford supporters, who immediately put up her name for re-election as first vice president. In tha enthusiasm that had developed through the fight mad for the presidency, ber re-election was carried through witn a rush.

A number of other oateo patha have don thla In 'th past and It was Indicated that similar arrange ments would be made by other members of the profession as a result of th en thusiasm of th convention meeting.

Place ( Meetlna May Be I'p. , Th selection of th placa for th next annual convention will also be brought before the trustees today, al though It la possible they may postpone a decision on it until several weeks after the close of the convention. Kansas City has mad the strongest fight for th next convention since th beginning of th session here, but Den ver's delegation developed great popu lar s'rength In the lobbies yesterday and It waa predicted by ita supporters that if the trustees decide today. Den ver atands a strong chance of getting the convention. Mesaaa; Areaaea Eathaalassa. High tide of enthuslaam in the meet ing was reached when Dr. Hlldreth. who la probably closer to the "old doctor who founded osteopathy than any other man In the profession, rid tha personal message of Dr. A. T. StIU. which had been aent from Kirksvtlle. Mo., urging them to stand firmly to gether to hold the prlnclplea of their profeaslon free from entanglements and Influences of other schools of healing. "Millions of lives can be aaved an nually." he aald. "Osteopathy Is yet In Ita infancy. I have brought forth th principle and the truth, whloh I have turned over to the profession which has wisdom and enough moral back bone not to offer any compromise with the enemy. Staad fer Srkoela Crged. "Stand behind all legitlmat research Institutes. Glv them your support. "Th treatments for Insanity and the results obtained at Macon In th paat year seem to b nothing more than natural, f bav alwaya aald that at least 2S per cent of all Insane cases could be cured y osteopathic treat ment, and I am thankful to be able to live to see this truth demonstrated. "There are other fields -of research. May the grand army march on. If we can't bav th pur osteopathic prln clplea taught In our schools. I hop th faithful will rally around th flag and we will build an international school that will offer no compromise unless It la th golden truth. "D. O. Means Dig; On." Today la th anniversary of Dr. Still's birthday. The "old doctor" la In his th year, and waa unable to com to th convention because of bis feeble ness. . The closing session will be In celebration of the birthday of the ab sent "father of osteopathy." ILLS LAID TO MAX'S POSTCKE Osteopath Sajs Walking rprlght'ls Responsible for Much Disease. Most of the Ills mankind la heir to are due to the fact that he will walk upright Instead of on ail fours, accord ing to Dr. IL M. Forbes, of Los An geles, who addressed th convention of osteopatha yesterday. Dr. H. H- Fryette, of Chicago, indorsed th views of Dr. Forbes. "The human animal la yet Buffering from an Imperfect adaptation to the upright attltud and many of these Ills demand a resort to surgery, be caus of strains that are put upon the body by an erect position which would not be placed upon It if we continued to go on all fours." said Dr. Forbes. The advice to "throw the ahoulders back." he held, leads to a muscular contraction which flattens the chest, and Invites tuberculosis and other diseases. "The child should ba tanght to stand erect by flattening hla abdomen and lifting his chest without breathing," Dr. Forbes said. The University or Pennsylvania Amason expedition has made another journey into tie unknown, and is now exptorinK the fron tier rlons of Braill. Peru and Bolivia. The xpedlilon expecis to spend six months In that region and to return to civilisation at Para, pleading that an exception b mad for hla particular case. The clinic members did their best to meet th unending demand. From morning to night seven of th most prominent specialists of the profes sion were on duty continually during the week, giving their services freely In case after case until exhausted. Testerday, wltli the throngs of pa tients crowding -in their desperation that the convention would close before they nad time to present their cases, the demand became so great that scores of th delegates were pressed Into volunteer service to handle th cases. Appllcaata Walt fr Days. Soma applicants had been waiting patiently for two or three days in pa thetic hope that they soon would have a chance for an examination. Mothera, exhausted with waiting, eat patiently holding babes that had cried them selves to sleep,, waiting to place their little ones In the hands of the physi cian a - Dr. T. J. Ruddy, who was to hav given clinics on th treatment of th eye, ear. noaa and throat trouble on one day of th session, worked through that day and the next and yesterday was again on duty from early morn ing until the close of the session at night, treating cases brought before him or prescribing them for future treatment In cases that were unsuited for handling hurriedly in the clinic. More than 30 casea passed through his hands yesterday alone. Dr. V. V. Goodfellow. of Los Angeles, worked until exhausted, hla Hat of cases running Into the hundreds. Many Caaes Feaad Preventable. "The most striking thing about th cases that came under my hands." be said, "waa the number of Instances of Incipient deafness that can largely be saved by institution of the proper treatment In time" Dr. Harry Forbes had a pocketful of appointments and worked late Into the afternoon, without stopping for lunch, in hla efforts to glv assistance to as many aa possible of the applicants before the close of the session. A great many of tha caaes were not susceptible of suitable treatment In the clinics, but were diagnosed and recom mended to the proper places for com plete treatment. A great proportion of th people who applied at tha clinics cam solely to hav caaes diagnosed and to b advised as to what to do. Ona man appeared, suffering from asthma, for which - he had been advised to seek higher altitudes, with the result that hla condition had be come steadily worse. Dr. Daln Taaker, examining him, detected a serious heart condition aa the basis of his trouble and recommended that he mov at one as near to sea level as possible. Assistance ef Delcsatea Aaked. "Even though your condition may not be remedied," he said, "It la prob able that you will be relieved and that your life will be prolonged for a number of yeara yet." In tbe afternoon the doctors In charge of th clinlca called for assistance, and delegatea on all aldea 'ere pressed tnto service. Impromptu clinics were established all about the mexxanlne floor and additional rooma were thrown j open for the examination oi patients, until all of the visitors who wer press ing In for attention were given It. It is estimated that fully 100 cases have been practically relieved from their symptoms In tbe clinic treatment alone, and that more than 175 each day have received maraed relief, besides the hundreds of others that have been referred to places where treatment may be completed. BABIES ARE BATED HIGH OSTEOPATHS TEST MENTAL AMD PHYSICAL FITNESS. Advice Is Given to Mothers on Care So as to Prevent Curvature f Spine and Kindred Allaseats. Osteopatha presided at the" "Better Babies" test held yesterday at the Parents Educational Bureau in the Courthouse under tbe auspices of the Oregon Congress of Mothers.

Special attention was given to the spine and bone formation, as these. It was explained, g-overn the length of the limbs and the tendencies to curvature of the aptne. Any variance, the osteo paths said, could be corrected when th child is young, but if it Is allowed to grow up with a crooked spine or one leg a little shorter than the other there is a great amount of Inconvenience and suffering ahead. Dr. E. S. Merrill, of Los Angeles, In the psychological testa, showed one little fellow a toy duck and asked what the object was. Straightway the tot howled for the toy.

Curtis Brlgham Says Disease Can Often Be Prevented. Epilepsy can be prevented in chil dren, or can be cured in cases where it has not developed to an extreme stage, through proper dieting and through osteopathic adjustment. Dr. W. Curtis Brlgham, of Los Angeles, declared at the osteopathic convention yesterday, as a result of a long investigation ot the treatment of this malady which he has conducted. "Moreover," he said, "I believe that ere long we shall have developed a sur gical procedure that will cure cases of epilepsy in which we have not been able to attain complete success by oste opathy." He declared that epilepsy is not es sentially a hereditary disease. All cases of epilepsy suffer, he said, pri marily from severe intoxication in the colon, and that when the irritating causes are removed the malady will be gin to disappear. "If we can get a child in time, no matter what his predisposition to epi lepsy may be. we can prevent it ap pearing, we believe. "The greatest hope lies in correcting the toxlo condition that precedes the seizure. Dietetic treatment and the re moval -of all sources of irritation, whether spinal lesions, tonsil affec tions or diseased adenoids, are the means by which the disease is" to be combated."
