It is said of some doctors that
they never treit an ordinary case;
all of their patients suffer with some
frightful malajy or have a peculiarly
viruient type of disease all this that
their fame may be the greater If the
pauent recovers, or that there may
be no blame if he does not. However
this may be. it Is a fact that the rep
utation of many a doctor has been
enhanced by the fact that the pro-
jcted and complicated illness of
some patient has resulted In at least
parial recovery, when, in truth, their
own methods have been largely re
sponsible for the unusually long ill
ness, the complications, and the fact
that recovery was not complete.
On the other hand, in cases equal
ly severe, the osteopath, who work

at this office. The Immense and per

A Hot Spot.
"I believe that Monterey. Mexico, is
the hottest spot in the world in the
daytime," said an Arizoua man. "I
hare seen the thermometer register as
high as 120 degrees in the lute after
noon. It was so hot that the natives
who reutured on the strtets would
hug the foot wide Fbade of the low
buildings like lichen cliDgs to tree
bark. But here's the funny pan of it:
When the suu sets it begins to cool off.
and at night it is positively necessary
to sleep nnder blankets. The nights
are delightfully cuol. and 1 presume i!
is because one is able to pt a goo
sleep that it is possible to live in that
climate." Washington Post

congestions and other complications,
and brings his ratient to a speedy
recovery, by the very fact that com
plications are avoided, often fails
to receive credit for handling a very
serious case.
There is a natural tendency to ap
plaud the skillful surgeon who per
forms a de'icate and difficult opera
tion in a despera e case and prevents
the death or prolongs the life of the
patient. And who is there who
would wi hhold applause under such
circumstances? in certain cases the
work of the surgeon is highly neces
sary and cannot be dispensed with.
However, his operations are usually
widely known and owing to the na
ture of the case his fame is heralded
abroad, and many times the real
worth of his services is greatly ex
aggerated. In striking contrast to this the
work of the osteopath often appears.
A patient comes to him suffering
with some obscure malady that has
baffled the efforts of his medical ad
visor. The osteipath finds in some
structural derangement the cause of
his symptoms. Some nerve impinge
ment or some obstructed vessel has
produced a condition which, if unre
lieved, will sooner or later drive the
patient to the surgeon's table. Quiet
ly, carefully, far possibly several
months, treatment is given; the le-
Isods are correc.ed: the patient is
restored to health. " Nothing spectac
ular about this. The patient's friends
do not know, and usually the pati
ent himself doe3 not realize the value
of the service that has been rendered
"Vet prevention is better than cure
Wnen we 6ay prevention we mean
more than that a particular illness
may be avoided. Though osteopath,
often does this, for a perfectly ad
justed bo3y, with all its organs func
tioning properly, is better able to
resist disease. But when disease
does find lodgment in the body the
nature and effect of osteopath!
treatment is such that complications
are far less likely to occur during its
course and distressing sequelae are
' by no means so likely to follow Us
j termination.
j hen a surgical operation is per
formed and the patient does not die

the public is informed that the opera
; tion was successful. What the public
, does not realize and appreciate are
the facts that tissues have been di
j vided, ne.ves and vessels severed,
and possibly a limb or an organ has
been removed. Rarely is the patient
' fully restored to health. As some
one has said: "A bird with a brok
en wing can never soar as high as
: one that was never injured."
j How infinitely better is osteopathy
; which, in a fair proportion of cases
: precludes the necessity for opera
tions. Thus the danger of the anes
thetic, the shock of the operation
the weary days of suffering follow'
ing, the loss of time, the surgeon's
fee, the hospital expense, are a'.l
avoided and the patient has
whole body.
Surely, when people - generally
awaken and they are rapidly awak
ening to the fact that the old adage
"an ounce of prevention is worth a
pound of cure'' expresses a great
and practical truth when applied to
the healing art, then osteopathy will
have fu'.ly come into its own and
will be rated at its real worth. This
is not to imply that osteopathy has
not as great curative value as other
systems, or greater, even in apparent
ly hopeless cases, for such implica
tions would be far from the truth.
Osteopathy has made remarkably
rapid growth in popular favor and
has had its share of marvelous cures;
indeed it has oTtej proven effective
as a last resort and has restored
many who have been regarded as in
curable. But Its achievements of
transcendent importance are accom
plished in the more valuable, if leas
spectacular, field of prevention. Her
