ENTERPRISE,
It is said of some doctors that
they never treat an ordinary case;
all of their patients suffer with some
frightful malady or have a peculiarly
virulent type of disease all this that
their fame may be the greater if the
jatlent 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
snhanced by the fact that the pro
racted and complicated illness of
some patient has resulted in at least
partial recovery, when, in truth, their
own methods have been largely re
sponsible for the unusually long 111
.iess, the complications, and the fact
that recovery was not complete.
On the other hand, in cases equal
ly severe, the osteopath, who work
ing hand in hand with nature, over
comes muscular contractions, takes
:he pressure off of nerves, equalizes
the circulation, thus avoiding local
congestions and other complications,
and brings his patient 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 delicate and difficult opera
tion in a desperate case and prevents
the death or prolongs the life of the
patient. And who is there who
would withhold applause under such
circumstances? In certain cases the
work of the surgeon is highly neces
sary and cannot be dispensed with.
However, hU 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 osteopath finds In some
.structural derangement the cause of
his symptoms. Some nerve Impinge
nient or some obstructed vessel has
produced a condition which, if unre
lieved, will sooner or later drive the
patlenb to the surgeon's table. Quiet
ly. carefully, for possibly several
months, treatment is given; the te
la on a are corrected; the patient is
restored to health. Nothing spectac
ular about this. The patient's friends
do not know, and usually the patl
ent himself does not realize the value
of the service that has been rendered
Yet prevention is better than cure.
When we say prevention we mean
more than that a particular Illness
may be avoided. Though osteopathy
often does this, for a perfectly ad'
Justed body, 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 osteopathic
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
termination.
When a surgical operation is per
formed and the patient does not die
the public is informed that the opera
tlon was' successful. What the public
does not realize and appreciate art
the facts that tissues have been dl
vlded, neives 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 Bald: "A bird with a brok
en wing can never soar as high as
one that wast never injured."
How infinitely better is osteopathy
which, in a fair proportion of cases,
precludes the necessity for opera
tlons. Thus the danger of the anes-
Ihetic, the shock of the operation,
the weary days of suffering follow
lng, the loss of time, the Burgeon's
fee, the hospital expense, are all
avoided and the patient has a
whole body.
Surely, when people generally
awaken and they are rapidly awak
entng to the fact that the old adage
'an ounce of prevention is worth a
po.ind of cure' expresses a 'great
and practical truth when applied to
the healing art, then osteopathy will
have fully come into its own and
will ba rated at 1U real worth. This
I is not to Imply that osteopathy has
noi as great curative value as otner
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 o.'te.i proven effective
as a Inst resort and has restored
many who have been regarded a In
curable, nut lti achievements of
transcendent Importance are accom
plished In the more valuable, if lest
spectacular, field of prevention. Her
