E. H. Prtt A M, M D, L L D, a high medical authority, in a paper read before an assembly of his own profession says: "Osteopathy is not a science based upon an accurate knowledge of region al anatomy, but an art to acquire which, requires an educated 'sense of touch, a thorough knowledge of ac tion and reaction in the various forms of disease, and the courage of one's convictions." "Osteopatiy has the advantage of surgery in that it reduces minor lux ations end ilslocations, 'which more frequently than is commonly suppos ed are effective barriers to the recov ery of healUi so long as they remain uncorrected: while, without examin ing a person from an osteopathic standpoint these laxations and dislo cations wouti undoubtedly entirely escape observatlm. So Osteopathy must rank as one pf the most impor tant measures known for the relief of all forme of . chronic ailments. As to the methods of applying principles in practice it is an effort of Osteopa ths to reach sympathetic nerves centers at every available point."
