In taking up a pen at my age, and assuming the responsibility of writing a book on the causes and treatment of diseases, philosophically and in a comprehensible manner, with words and forms to meet the demands of this enlightened age, I feel it is a very great undertaking, and ask that the world give me its friendly criticism. Read and adopt, or reject, as you may feel disposed when you have perused what I may write. I start out on this journey alone, with no compass except my reason, and if I fail, no one will suffer for the trip excepting myself. A.T.S.

MY AUTHORITIES. I quote no authors but God and experience. Books compiled by medical authors can be of little use to us, and it would be very foolish of us to look to them for advice and instruction on a science of which they know nothing. They are not able to give an intelligent explanation of their own composite theories, and they have never been asked to advise us. I am free to say that only a few persons who have been pupils of my school have tried to get wisdom from medical writers and apply it to any part of osteopathy’s philosophy or practice. The student of any philosophy succeeds best by the more simple methods of reasoning. We reason for necessary knowledge only, and should try to start out with as many known facts and as few false theories as possible. Anatomy is taught in our school more thoroughly than in any other school, because we want the student to carry a living picture of all or any part of the body in his mind, as an artist carries the mental picture of the face, scenery, beast, or anything that he wishes to represent by his brush. I constantly urge my students to keep their minds full of pictures of the normal body. AGE OF OSTEOPATHY. In answer to the question, “How long have you been teaching this discovery?” I will say: I began to give reasons for my faith in the laws of life as given to men, worlds, and beings by the God of Nature, in April, 1855. I thought the 9 The Philosophy and Mechanical Principles of Osteopathy www.interlinea.org Andrew Taylor Still swords and cannons of Nature were pointed and trained upon our systems of drug doctoring. Among others, I asked Dr. J. M. Neal, of Edinburgh, Scotland, for some information that I needed badly. He was a medical doctor, a man of keen mental abilities, who would give his opinions freely and to the point. The only thing that made me doubt that he was a Scotchman was that he loved whisky, and I had been told that the Scotch were a sensible people. John M. Neal said that drugs were bait for fools; that the practice of medicine was no science, and the system of drugs was only a trade, followed by the doctor for the money that could be obtained by it from the ignorant sick. He believed that Nature was a law capable of vindicating its power to cure. I will not worry your patience with a list of the names of authors that have written upon the subject of drugs as remedial agents. I will use the word that the theologian often uses when asked for whom Christ died: the answer universally is, “All.” I began to realize the power of Nature to cure after a skillful correction of conditions causing abnormalities had been accomplished so as to bring forth pure and healthy blood, the greatest known germicide.

Osteopathic Medicine is a branch of human medicine which was developed in the late 19th century in the United States. It is a philosophy of health care applied as a distinctive art, supported by expanding scientific knowledge. Its philosophy embraces the concept of the unity of the living organism’s structure (anatomy) and function (physiology). A frequently quoted saying of the founder of the profession, Andrew Taylor Still, is “To find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease.” The term “Osteopathy” was chosen by Still, because “we start with the bones.” He related that osteo includes the idea of “causation” as well as “bone, ” and pathos means “suffering.” As Stefan Hagopian, DO states in an interview printed in Alternative Therapies, Nov/Dec 2001, Vol.

T. STILL. Museum of Osteopathic Medicine, Kirksville, MO INTERPRETED BY DR. W. J. CONNER Introductory In writing this brief epistle, it is not the inten­ tion of the author to write a text book on obstetrics. I claim no originality for myse],f, just my interpreta­ tion of what Doctor Still taught. Like Christ, he taught much, but wrote little, especially on obstet~ rics. Having h2en inti'mately associated with him for five years, during the most a.ctive part of his life, and being in the Obstetrical Department of his . Institution, I feel competent to interpret his teach­ ings. When he obtained a Charter for the American School of Osteopathy, he specified that the objects Copyrighted 1928 of the school were to teach an improved system of By Surgery, Obstetrics and General Practice. DR. W. J. CONNER .. He never claimed Osteopathy to be a new science of healing, no more than did Henry Ford claim he was building a new car when he put on a self-starter.

  • • Seminar 1: the Origins of Osteopathy
    Inhoud van de cursus • Seminar 1: The origins of Osteopathy Three of the most important figures in the history of osteopathy are Andrew Taylor Still, John Martin Littlejohn, and William Garner Sutherland. Jane Stark has spent the last decade compiling the life stories of each of these historical figures. Her research has been conducted in libraries, museums, and historical societies in both the UK and the US, including Boston, Chicago, London, and Glasgow, as well as countless small towns, the most important being Kirksville, Missouri. The biographies of these legendary osteopaths provide the context for understanding their work. The “old doc” (Still) left us his legacy of osteopathy; the “old dean” (Littlejohn) helped to keep osteopathy pure, or free of overdependence on pharmaceutical agents; and the “old timer” (Sutherland) introduced a more refined level of palpation through cranial osteopathy. The circumstances leading to the culmination of the osteopathic idea of Andrew Taylor Still will be examined from a multitude of political, economic, social, and educational perspecitves. Of interest will be the fact that the only place in the world where osteopathy could have been born was in Kirksville, Missouri. The reason for this is this statement will be well explain in the program. This seminar offers in-depth and entertaining oral and pictorial perspectives on the life histories and professional contributions of Still, Littlejohn, and Sutherland. For about 18 months between 1898 and 1900 their three paths crossed at the American School of Osteopathy in Kirksville. That period and the five years preceding it remain the most important years in the history of osteopathy.
