DELUSIONS AS TO OSTEOPATHY.
Seldom has the world ever revelv
d and acknowledged any new sclen
.iflc dUcovery of radloil importance
Arlthout f.rst shOA-lng Us "conserva
ism ' by maligning it more or less.
Osejpathy has probably not had
nore than Its share of this and has
ee.i too busy gro.vlng and reaching
ut ta':o new territory to recant It
ery much. It Is now practiced in
svery s.are and territory of the
Jnion, atmcat all of the state have
-ully re:ojji:zed it by legislative en
ictnient, and its good work is the
jeat answer to i s traduces.
But there are a very great many
people who, not having read of the
w sekaice in a systematic manner,
lave acquired ideas about osteopathy
" iNhich are far from correct. These
deaa are passed along to neighbors
nd friends, with no Intention, of
wronging oiteoathy or its practl
loners, but wl'jh that Inevitable (re
mit. In this manner many utterly false
deas. have become prevalent In cer
ala circles of every community; and
t is the purpose to bring the truth
3 the attention of all who are will
i to inform themselves before pass
a jadgmeat. .
One frequent Idea i3 that, as no
irugs are used, osteopathy is one of
hoaa 'occult' curative schemes that
re constantly coming to the surface
Kily to vanish after a short life. As
matter of fact, it 1.3 quite the op
oslite. It Is baseJ on anatjomy and phy
iloltgy, in. which subjects its stu
dents are even more thoroughly traln
d than is the case in the colleges
here the drug treatment is taught.
t.t is the primary idea of osteopathy
:hat there I3 a mechanical cause for
Jvery diseasa cot due directly to
poison, and this cause is sought out

Tax on Hats.
Not only have hats at various times
been subject tq taxation, but have even
been made the subject of special laws.
Thus in Henry VII.'s reign none was
allowed to sell hats at a larger price
than 20 pence or caps for more than
2s. 8d. Some compensation, however,
for this interference with free trade
could be found in the fact that in 1571
on Sundays and holidays every one
above seven. years of age was required
to wear a cap of wool of English make
under penalty of 3 farthings fine for
every day's neglect. London Chronicle.
