THE AMERICAN SCHOOL OF OSTEOPATHY. WENTY-THREE years ago, Osteopathy was an idea-a dream in the mind of oneTwenty-threeman. To-day that idea is the basic principle of a new school of healing that is recognized by law in four states and bids fair to revolutionize the methods of treating disease throughout the civilized world. This idea, that found lodgement and grew in the fertile brain of an ex-army surgeon, was that every pathological condition not occasioned by specific poison could be traced to some mechanical disorder in the human machinery, which, if corrected by mechanical means would result in the restoration of harmony and health without the use of drugs, if the condition had not become incurable . Like all embryo-greatness, this remarkable idea was extremely unpromising and unpop- ular in its infancy. Those who first looked upon it shook their heads in deprecation and ascribed its conception to the devil, but it grew and refused to stop growing . In 1894 it became the corner stone of a legally chartered col- lege, The American School of Osteopathy, founded by Dr. Andrew T. Still. Twenty-three months ago this school had 26 students enrolled. Theyrepresentedsixstatesandweretheonlyclassintheschool.Buttheex-army

surgeon's great idea was behind the institution, and although the guns of ignor- ance, ridicule and misrepresentation, are manned constantly against it by the jealous advocates of legalized tradition, the new school has arisen triumphantly to an honored place among the first institutions of science in this country. The regular fall term of the American School of Osteopathy opened Sep- tember 1st, this year, with an enrollment of 326. This enrollment represents 27 states and one Canadian province. During the summer vacation many improvements were made in the build- ing. The amphitheatre was doubled in size by being raised to the top of the fourth story . A chemical laboratory with all the necessary apparatus occupies the first floor of the north annex, and a complete histological laboratory is fitted up in the second story of the south wing. With the growth of the school and the curriculum, and in answer to a steadily growing demand for a more extended and thorough course in Osteopathy, the opening of the school year finds several new departments added to the course . Chemistry, physiology and histology, taught hitherto in depart- ments with other studies, are now each put into a separate department, each with its own quarters and equipment, each under the supervision of a professor with special training in the line of his particular work. Recent legislation has created for Osteopathy a larger place in the world,

Sur- gery has proved itself a science, based upon scientific principles ; anatomy and physiology have made possible this wonderful advancement in the treatment of surgical diseases, that has reduced mortality to about five per cent. " The practice of medicine as it is, is not a science, not based upon scientific principles, and has not advanced, save in theory, hence the mortality is as large as it was many hundred years ago. Practitioners of whatever creed all admit that what is needed is a revolution in principles and practice. A careful introduction of physiological practice will bring success, and all treatment will then be based upon scientific principles. Instead of stimulants, narcotics and all toxic or other preparations we will use nature, nutrition, exercise, good food and hygienic surroundings ."

Realizing and recognizing these truths and exemplifying them in a logical manner is a discipline that is invaluable, both in his college work and as a practitioner. We aim to familiarize the student with all the established knowledge of the medical world and with our Osteopathic learning build up a practice including every known disorder. " This work is to a large extent theoretical . The facts we now have are derived almost entirely from experiments and are of an extensive nature, being evolved from every portion of the medical field, which gives us a basis for a complete system of practice. The student is taught how to deal with the symptoms of the entire category of diseases. Taking each symptom he reasons back to the cause which produces it and the proper method of elimination . All dis- eases are discussed in both a descriptive and practical manner with special reference to their etiology, pathology and method of treatment, so that the stu- dent becomes conversant with Osteopathic principles and treatment ." The work of operative clinics, or the practical demonstration of Osteo- pathic treatment, is in charge of Dr. W. J . Conner, an Osteopath of long experience and undoubted skill . Dr. Conner says of his work " All the members of the staff of operators in the Still Infirmary devote the afternoon of each day to this work, which is given the student during the last two terms of school, and is taught in the most systematic manner. Each disease is taken tip and discussed before the class.
