The k, r American School of Osteopathy . KIRKSVILLE . MISSOURI .
The course of study in The American School of Osteopathy is a carefully graded one, and is divided into four terms, of five months each. The terms begin in September and February of each year. The course thus requires two years for completion. THE STUDIES ARE AS FOLLOWS: FIRST TERM. General Descriptive Anatomy, including Osteology, Syndesmology, Myology, Angi- ology and Neurology ; Histology, including the description and recognition of the normal tissues of the body; the Principles of Chemistry and Physiological Physics. SECOND TERM. General Descriptive Anatomy of the Viscera and organs of special sense ; Practical DEVOTED Anatomy, with demonstrations on the cadaver ; Analytical and Physiological Chemistry ; Physiology ; Symptomatology and Physical diagnosis ; Hygieneand Dietetics; Principles TO THE of Osteopathy . THIRD TERM . Advancement Practical and Regional Anatomy, with demonstrations on the cadaver ; Physiology ; OF The Pathology and Pathological Anatomy ; Urinalysis and Toxicology; Clinical demonstrations Science in Osteopathy. FOURTH TERM, Topographical Anatomy; Minor Surgery; Gyncecology and Obstetrics ; Medical O Jurisprudence ; Clinical Practice in Osteopathy. OSTEOPATHY The school is open to students of both sexes without distinction, and all have equal opportunities and privileges, and are held to the same requirements . PU Published The methods of instruction are such as obtain in the best academic and collegiate institutions, and include recitations from standard text books, lectures, quizzes, practical MONTHLY laboratory work, and practical clinic work. BY The The equipment of the school is complete in every respect. The recitation and lecture AMERICAN rooms are amply provided with all necessary means of illustration, such as specimens fresh School or and preserved, skeletons, models, charts, manikins, and diagrams. Osteopathy The respective laboratories are fitted up with all the necessary apparatus for practical work in the Anatomical, Histological, Microscopical, Chemical, and Physiological depart- ments. Kirksville The clinical facilities and opportunities enjoyed by students in this school are excep- tional . An abundance of material is always available for clinic demonstrations, which are continued daily through two terms. with practical work in the clinic operating rooms by each student, under the direction of the regular operators, daily during the whole of the last term. In addition to the regular clinical de " tnieut, the A. T. Still Infirmary' has constantly under treatment, from three hundred to five hundred patients, and although the students do not see these patients, the many cases' of diseases of all kinds under the care of the regular operators m the Infirmary, gives them (',M antly fresh and varied illustrations for use in their lectures . Sometimes, too, patients whose cases may be of special interest offer the use of their cases for the purpose of demonstration before the students. Opportunities are thus furnished to students for such practice and drill in the actual work of treating diseases as we believe is not equaled by any similar institution anywhere. The course of study is progressively graded with a view to giving students a thorough and comprehensive knowledge of the fact;and principles upon h their future work is to be based. These clinic exercises in connection and immediately following give them facility and readiness in the art of applying the facts and principles which they have acquired in recognizing and treating diseased conditions.

'HERE occurred in the United States Senate on the 28th day of June last, There one Of the most remarkable debates that has taken place in that body for many years. The question under discussion at that time was one which is fore- most in the mind of the American people to-day, that of the trusts. Senators Hoar, Vest, Allen, Caffery and Lindsay took part in the debate . The sugar trust was in evidence . Much reliable and valuable information was placed be- fore the people . To add to the interest of the debate, the New York World, in its issue of the same date, gave a carefully prepared interview by the vener- able and distinguished Secretary of State, John Sherman, on the same subject. The information conveyed in this interview and debate comes from the highest law making powers in the nation, and when such men as John Sherman and Senator Hoar and the other Senators whose names are mentioned, speak out upon any question, their words mean something to the law making powers of this land, and to the judiciary which interprets these laws . Senator Sher- man said : "The present National trust law (The Sherman law) is not strong enough . I framed it myself and the senate committee on judiciary made chances in it which materially weakened its effect . I favor making unlawful in the most direct manner, all combinations in restraint of trade. They put all industries in the control of a few men. THE PEOPLE HAVE THEIR RIGHT TO OPEN COMPETITION IN ALL INDUSTRIES AND TRADE. Restraint of trusts can be made effectual when we get the proper kind of laws. The Supreme Court has upheld the present law, but less pointed out its defects. I think these defects can and will be reme- died. In the course of the debate Senator Hoar said in speaking of the trusts and their effects upon the business of the country : "I should be glad to find a constitutional method to uproot THESE GREAT Evils I think they are a menace to the republic itself." Again Senator Hoar, answering the question as to what was the technical definition of a monopoly, said: "A monopoly, strictly, in the English law, is a grant by the government of exclusive powers . " In speaking of the trouble and embarrassments surrounding the passage of the law by congress, to get rid of or regulate the trusts, the Senator continued : "If the Senator front Nebraska . Mr. Allen, will help us out by finding a mode which will accomplish this end, and which will stand the test of scrutiny of any judicial tribunal, -and which will stand his own scrutiny-if, instead of being a Senator he was a judge I should be glad to go with hint to accomplish these results ."

Senator Hoar further said: the true inwardness of this out- rage, there will be such a rattling of the dry evil of monopoly is an evil created by the SOVEREIGN POWER OF THE STATE bones of "medical modesty" and "The "professional etiquette" ITSELF ." as will relegate pill-peddling to its proper level and force the whole practice of Louisiana, said : to stand upon its merits. Senator Caffery, The American "I quite agree with Senator Hoar that the question of monopoly is one for state juris- Medical Association, or Trust, is the name of the national diction, and I hardly think an attack on monopoly can come through the instrumentality organization. It has sub-organizations in every state. They meet precisely as that the of the federal statute. I quite concur with Senator Allen from Nebraska, any other business organization would meet, and devise ways and means of reach unlawful combinations or conspiracies in restraint present law is perfectly adapted to securing themselves against honest competition . Under the plea that they are of trade." the only genuine alleviators of human suffering, they have secured the passage granted to monopolies in several In speaking of the special privileges of laws in each state giving to themselves a monopoly in the art of healing, and states and by the government, he said : when this is effectually accomplished they fix the prices that the protection as a reward for great benefaction to the human public must "It seems to conttmnplate pay. In many States they have been so bold as Whenever congress imposes a duty they can take it off, and they ought to do so to have the prices which the race. people shall pay fixed whenever that duty upholds trusts, local or otherwise." by law, as, for instance, in North Dakota, a physician is allowed one dollar per mile extracts are taken from the Congressional Record of June 28th for every mile traveled ; and the law allows abso- The above lutely no exemption when an account of this remarkable debate.

We do not believe, in such cases as this, the power to regulate gives the power to arbitrarily forbid and stamp out. Trusts and monopolies may cruelly and selfishly increase the price of nec- essaries to the consumer, but not all their greed and power can prevent nature from producing new cereals or products with which to bless mankind. The statutes may foster the present medical combine, but no despotism can deny the sufferer the right to choose his own road to health, and no trust or monopoly can successfully crush a new science whose healing power the afflicted desireto test, for such power is better tested by the sick, than measured by the law .
