Bliss, in his letter, says they have a fine bunch of Indians on the team and that the majority of them are college men. That loud rumbling noise you heard last Tuesday night about 10 o'clock wasn't a salute fired in honor of the departure of Huerta from the coast of Mexico, neither was it the echo of a political argument. It was Bologna Joe dynamiting a number of stumps on the west side of the court house. That is, Bologna Joe was in charge of the operations with a crowd of menranging from bankers down to aspirants for "soft berths" in the court house--acting as "straw bosses."

Oak Grove has a flourishing Sunday School and a great deal of interest is taken by the folks down there in the work.

We would be glad to go again some time." Last Sunday afternoon while returning to Lawrence from Lake View Herb Bullene, the Lawrence merchant met a Ford car. The road not being wide enough for both cars to pass they naturally came together. Now there is nothing unusual in this, but as the lawyers say, "let us analyze" 1 it further. The Bullene car was badly damaged. In fact, it was so badly shaken up that it had to be hauled into town.

The little Ford gave two or three snorts and proceeded on its way as if nothing had happened. There's a moral in this if you'll take the time to find it.

Meriden, Kansas Phones: All of the schools or colleges of Osteopathy in existence are going to lengthen their course from three years, of nine months each year or twenty-seven months, to four years of eight months each, or thirty-two months. That is by far the greatest number of months required by most of the medical colleges in the world. The Osteopaths are always for the best of education and they are sure far ahead of any of the healing arts in existence today.

Four Schools Only Recognized In the whole world there are only four schools of medicine recognized, and legally licensed. They are the schools of Homepathy, Osteopathy, Allopathy and Eclectic. The graduates have to be examined before state boards and receive licenses before they are allowed to practice their profession. Osteopaths in Kansas Before Osteopaths can practice in this good old state of Kansas, they must have a High School diploma or a teacher's certificate, two years in college or academy, and be examined in all of the studies except materiamedica as they substitute Osteopathy and its therapeutics. A Challenge About six years ago I challenged all physicians for a public debate on med icine, such as diagnosis and examination and on treating various acute and chronic diseases, orthopedic "surgery," obstetrical work and all other work except major surgery, and the doctor that gets the best and quickest: results takes the pay for all cases treated.

This challenge still holds 3. Osteopathy 15th. The following subjects are taught in all osteopathic schools and colleges and are recommended by the American Osteopathic Association, Embryology, Osteology, Dis criptive Anatomy, Physiology, Chemistry, Toxicology, Principles of Osteopathy, Osteopathic Mechanics, Compar ative Therapeutics, Bacteriology, Med ical Biology, Physical Diagnosis, Osteopathic Diagnosis, Practice of 0g- teopathy, Surgery, Applied Anatomy, Obstetrics, Gyneocology, Pediatrics, Eye and Ear, Nose and Throat, Mental Diseases, Nervous Diseases, ElectroTherapeutics, Genito-Urinary DiseasesDermatology, Syphilis Hygiene, Public Health, Dietetics, Medical Jurisprudence, X-Radiance, Sanitation, Diet, etc. That is about all that the Osteopath has to be examined in at the schools and then by the states boards. I am sure that the above is not too much, as the requirements of some old schools of medicine are not as high, but they should be BECAUSE the man that administers his treatment ought to have the best that brains and money could learn and buy.

A Definition of Osteopathy: A system of drugless healing by which a practitioner, through a thorough know ledge of anatomy and physiology and by appropriate manipulations, adjusts structure, so that nature can restore normal conditions of function to the body. Osteopathy is Mechanical, Drugs are Chemical All recognized doctors or physicians agree that A HUMAN BODY IS A MACHINE, (A thing is never too often repeated that is never sufficient ly learned). Also the truth is mighty, and nothing but the truth goes, and the best way to do business is to be honest, and I am always frank with all. If I can not do you any good I will tell you so. Doctors of all schools agree that a.

BODY is a machine and right here the Osteopath is alone and treats the body as a machine should be treated. That is why Osteopathy is a "BoneSetter," a Re-adjuster and adjusts all parts. The disease of bones, ligaments and all tissues often comes on by falls, overwork, underwork, irregular work, colds, in the treatment of which Osteopathy is always successful. The Osteopath is the only Spinal (Back Bone) Specialist that we have in all of the medical world. Osteopathy treats such by the above studies that we have to take before we are allowed to administer it properly.

As you see by the above old school doctors treat the body by chemicals just the opposite to the Osteopath, and opposite to the way an engine, or other machine, is treated and should be treated. Please read the above over several times, then hand it to your neighbor. Is this "rubbing," "severe," or "not common sense," and remember the Osteopath is the world's best Anatomist. DR. A.
