this science called "Osteopathy "never for a moment lost faith inits principles .he was poor and

unable topresent his theory before the gen-eral public, so he traveled fromplace to place, treated the poor,and afflicted and performed suchwonderful cures that his reputa-tion as a healer was soon estab-lished .From th's beginning his name

began to spread throughout thecountry and now from not onlythis, but from almost everystate in the union, patients cometo his home to be treated by thisnew system .the results accomplished by

this treatment soon attractedthe notice of many who were de-sirious of learning the new meth-od, and importuned Dr. still toorganize a school for the purposeof instructing others in thescience .
