A DEFINITION OF OSTEOPATHY.
Osteopathy 1 a system of treating
disease without drugs- by the use of
the hands to adjust all parts of the
human mechanism to perfect mechan
ical relations. It is that science which
finds in disturbed mechanical rela
tions of the anatomical parts of the
body the cause of disease, and which
is employed to cure disease by apply
ing technical knowledge and high
manual skill to the correction of all
disturbed relations occurring In the
mechanical arrangement of the body.
It Is a science founded upon the
principles- of anatomy and physiol
ogy. . .
The word does not mean the treat
ment of bones nor of bone diseases.
It was used as a name because the
founder discovered the Importance
of disturbances In the bony frame
work of the body In causing disease.
He studied the skeleton as the foun
dation of anatomy, upon which sci
ence he grounded his system. The
meaning of the word applies not only
to derangements of bony parts, byt
as we'l to disturbed relations or
nerve, ligaments, tendons, blood
vejiuls, muscles and of any body tis
sue. Journal of Osteopathy.

While the September Increase was
the banner one to far this fiscal
