Osteopathy and
Res ea rc h Work
What ost eopathy has been able to accompli,h
with the derelicts of med icin e, has made its reputati on a nd placed it side by side with th e wonderf ul
inven tions and discoveri es which have marked the last seve ral decades
as an era of unusual progress. "~ha t osteopathy has been able to
achieve together with a persistent propaganda of education, has done
much to acquain t the average layman with the real nature of the science and what it is possible to accomplish with competent hands. No t.
withsta nding its oppo nent s, who are practically a ll in the ranks of political medicin e, the science is making friends at an unprecedented
pace Fo r much of this we have the legislati ve opposit ion of political
medicine to thank; for nothi ng whi ch osteopaths could have done
could possibly have been so effective in exposing the real animus behind th e opp osition to a n efficient regulation of osteopathy, than the
legislative struggles in the various sta tes during t he past winter. N ewspapers have not. been slow in givi ng wide publicity to the se exposures,
and ost eopaths wcrc given every opport unity t o he heard. Eithe
through ignorance or malice osteopathy has been persiste ntly misrepresent ed, by a certain class of medical men , and t hat these exposures
and t his publicity has been a t remendo us factor in clea ring up in thc
mind ' of the laym an what osteopathy really is, no one will question!
and that the science has receiv ed a deserved bu t un expect ed boost is
equally certain .
o"ne t hing. however, should not be overlooked. While the science is making progress at nn unprecedent ed rate, to take its place in
the very front rank with the demonst rated sciences, there is much for
osteo paths to do. Resul ts prove t he science, but t hey do not adequa tcly
demonstrate it. In ot her words, people have seen the results, and many
of the most highly edu cated people as well as the average laymen,
waut to know more about th e ' why ." The A. T. Still Research Insti tu te,
as well as Dr. Bu rn s and Dr. Deason and Mr. Archer, a nd ot hers, have
done splend id work dur ing the past year, but all th at has ever been done
.'i17
must be regarded as simply the beg inning, The research work cond ucted
bv t he laboratories of the American School of Osteopathy in conuectio n with " Vaccinia and Vaccinati on ," has excite d great int erest not
only in America hut in Eu rope as well, and has undoubtedly done much
to create a wholesome respect for osteopathy and osteo paths. So ha,..
the work in physiology, which has been recognized by the leading: Journal of Physi ology in America. \Vhat we need is more of just such work.
Not ani v those conn ected with research work of the N ati onal Associatiun, In;t the laboratorie s of every school of osteopathy should prosecute the work with renewed zeal, and they should receive t.he cncou ragement and support of every ost eopath. That t he t ruths of t he s!'ience may he fully demonstrated we cannot question ; hut it is up to
ost eopaths to do it.

Osteopathy , Research and Practice
by Dr. A. T. Still
.f f<} N ETl'E H UB BA IU> B OLI..J:i:S, Dl-;~ V "~ R, C OLO.
It is a unique condition, that a 'science that has grown to such
great proportions and has penetrated to every part of the civilized world,
should still he able to receive imformation and inspiration dir ect from
it s founder. The ad vocates of most oth er sciences have had to go
back and grope amo ng long forgotten records for knowledge of their
founders, and have occupied t hemselve s with long discussions and
conte ntio ns as to what t heir originato rs really th ought and t aught; but
Osteopathy is fort unate enough to have its knowledge direct, am i its
founder still here to answer questions and set tle disputes .
D r. St ill began by reiterating his oft expressed exposition of the
prin ciples of Osteopathy. These pri nciples are so plainl y and clearly
set forth t hat. no pe rson, layman or professional, of merely average
intellinencc can fail to understand them.
Osteopathy has t he dist inction of being the only system of therapeutics th at is hnsed upon scientific principles. The ~th er sys tems a~e
either empirical-that is, based upon t he results of Imperfect expertmerits , or they are built upon theories which have never been proved.
Osteopathy rests upon a firm foundation of principles, all o~ which
can he ann have been demonstrated and proved in actua l. practice,
The one great found ation principle that t he " Old Docto r" has
laid down for his adhe rents aga in and aga in, is t hat t he hum an body
is a perfect, complex , wonderful machine. If every part of th is machin e.
is in proper mechanical adjustment, t he result is health ; if any part
is out of adjustment the result is disease. Every disease or departure
from health is due to some maladjustment of structure, so the duty of
t he physician is to fi nd this maladjustm ent and correct it, and th e pad
tient will soon be restore d -to hea lth. I n oth er words, he must fin
th e cause of th e trouble and remo ve it, not t inker at sym pto ms and lea~e
the real trouble to continue as before. Like a t rue teacher, Dr. Sh ll
repeats this principle ove r and ove r, giving it every possible form, illustrating it by analogy, enforcing it by concrete examples, and. ~ever
allowing his reade r to lose sight of it. The student or praet1tlOn~r
who has not this princ iple ingrained in the innermost dept hs of hIS
;;10
mentality should choose some other field of activity, for he was not
born to be an ost eopat hist .
Dr . Still classifies the diseases of mankind as t hey affect different,
portions of the body. One sect ion is devoted to t he region of the head ,
others to tbe t hroat and neck, the t horacic region, t he abdominal re~i()n , the region below the diaphragm] and the spinal region. Obstetrics is treated in a sectio n by itself, and it is full of valuable information and suggestion, for the osteo pathic practition er.
Contagious dise ases and fevers are treated of in anothe r chapter,
and lastl y th ere is :i list of unclassified diseases . Th e book gives a complete survey of the principal ills t hat fl esh is heir to . Dr. St ill takes up
each d isease in t urn, usually gives a description and the method of
treatment taken from some standard medical authority, and the n disCU5S( 'S the di se use from the osteopathic standpoint.
He gives the cause,
tells what nerves and blood vessels are being subjected to .p ressure,
and what articulations must be adjusted to remove t his pressure.
He also tells in clear, succinct language, the best methods for restoring t hese articulations to their normal adjustment . T hus the book
forms :.t complete handbook for the theory and practice of osteopat hy .
Certainly no practitio ner cau afford to be witho nt so val ua ble an aid
from the very source uml fountain head of the science he is practicing.
The book is written in a clear, logical style, and the language is
so simple an d so free from tec hnicalit ies that any fairly int elligent lay IIl:Ul can underst and it.
The style is the vigorous, individual one that
we have learner! to look for Irom the "Old Doctor." It is full of "Stillieisms " t hat add wonderfull y to the force and t he inte rest , and give it
a style all its own.
:\I:\y we ha ve many more s uch messages from the hand of the one
who has done more than any other person living or dead, to reliev e
human suffering and pain.

Dupuytrens Fracture Requiring
Open Operation
By Dn, Geo, A. ST ILL, Surgeon-in-chief, A. S . O. Hospital.
The accompanying cut represents one of the very serious complications of a mistreated Pott's fracture, or rather in this case, since
both tl.., Int ernal Maleolus and a piece from the Fibular side of the lowe"
end of the Tibia are torn off, as well as the lower part of t he Fibula, it
is best to be called a real Du p uytrens Fracture.
About th e middle of J uly, 1910, the patient , who was a young lady
twenty-Iou r years of age, and in the best of health, was thrown from
a hllg~y , du ring a runa way and sustained the injury , shown in the ell
It was supposed to have been reduced and was put in a east ror
seven weeks, at the end of which ti me the foot plainl y showed that it
was badl y displaced , bn t t he pati ent was tol d t ha t it was not disloouted and t hat it required n o furth er t reatm ent . Aft er ten mont h
and u half of ineffectual treatment, a well-k nown surgeon was cons
sultcd and confirme d the diagno sis that. it, was not dislocated, and ad
vised a br uce.
Th ereupon, the patient , in spite of st re n uous objecti ons, cons nltec
an Osteopath, Dr . C. C. Hazzard of Wa shin gt on Court House, OhiQ
who diagnosed a frueture-dislooation and to confirm it, had the fir~

One wi ll note in the anterior-posterior vie w tha t t ile Astragal
is shoved up high hetw cen the T ibia and Fibula.. and that the Internal

shadow on the lower end of the Ti hia, also :l small triangular piece 0

open operation, but th e ext remely dense adhesions and the exte nt of
th e injury made this impossible.
Accord ingly , I wns called in, and just eleven months after the
injury was first sustained, it W ad reduced.
In order to accomplish reduction exte nsive dissect ion of the ankle
joint had to be made. Th e picture, of course, gives no idea of th e massive ad hesions infiltrating all t he tissues and t he joint spaces in th e neighbor hood, but before red uction could h~ accomplished nearly an hour's
work on these adhesions was necessary. One can simply ·imagine the
ankle as shown in the picture to be t horoughly embedded in scar tissue
and th e spaces all filled with t h e same. The te ndon Achilles had to
be shortened t o th e exte nt that it had to be eut before redu ction could
be accomplished. One can expect t his to heal in ab out one month.
Alt hong h a perfect resnlt is not possible, t here is every indication
t hat a good serviceable ankle will result.
It will be not ed t hat t hough th e upper surface of th e Astragalus
looks smoot h, in reality it is covered wit h a very dense connective tissue and has no Sy novial snrfa ee at all. T his had t o be cut away, also
a part of the M aleolar fragment had to be eut away with the bone forceps ; also t he Fibula had to be fract ured again.
It is t o be und erst ood t hat th e pat ient had not becn abl e to walk on
t he foot at all, an d th at most any change will be an impro vement .
At t he present date, two weeks afte r th e operation, t he patient is
reported to be doing quite well. Dr . Hazzard is treating th e wounds
th rough windows in the cast and will remo ve t he cast in abo ut two or
three weeks. A long course of aft er treatm ents will be necessary to
overcome the stiffness as much a l possible.
Whil e not criticising t he medical men who handled t he case before D r. Hazzard to ok cha rge, still we are wondering what would happen
to an Osteopa th who got t he sa me result.
Some Common Diseases of
Children
IlY J. D "AsoN, B. S., D . U.
T he In lant Wellare Crusad e.- T'here has been instituted in
the city of Chicago what is kno wn as t he Infan t Wclfare Cr usade, t he
purpose of which is to reduce the high death-rate of infants and protect them, especially from the common diseases of the summer months.
T here are severa l infan ts' and children's hospit als and tent colonies located in various parts of t he city where physicians inst ruet
mot hers and nurses in the care of children. This is a good prophyla ctic
measure.
Some Com m o n Ca uses of Disease.- T he gastro-intest inal dis.
eases areresponsible for most of t he death s of children during th e first
year, a nd t his class of diseases is most freq uently met wit h during t he
summer months.
.
I W:l.S to ld by a physician who is in attendance at one of t hese
hospit als t hat at least 97% of the deaths t hat occur in children during
the summer mont hs were among the bottle-fed infant s. I ha ve only
th e physician's st atement for this, bu t such a careful study has been
made of th e condit ions an d causat ive facto rs that. I have no reason t o
quest ion t he t ruth of what he said.
If t his be t rue, it would mean t hat t he child was not getting th e
right kind of food, or t hat it was getting an infection , I wish t o con- sider only' th e first of t hese causes in th is article.
Feeding 01 In l a n l s .- It is, I think, well to consi der t he natu ral
foods for infants, an d t hen let t his be a criterion t o the vari ati on from
th e nor ma l, when such must be done.
D uring int rau terine life t he embryo first gets it s nourishment from
HlP yolk material which is stored in t he ovum . L at er it gets some nourishmen t by way of the chorion from t he uteru s, an d during the remainder
of its f<ctal life, ' from t he placenta.
In ext ra-ute rine life, th e child normally get s its first nourishment from
the cholost rum and milk from it s mother's own breast, and of course,
lat er f'roin table food . We see that th e normal food for the offspring
THE JO UR?,AL OF OSTEOPATHY.
SOM E COl\l l\IO N DIS EAS ES OF C H I L D RE N.
until it is old euough to use table food , all comes from t he moth er .
is natural and always best , wi t h a very few possible exceptions. 'Yfl
wan t to emphasize the importance of breast milk . No arti ficial fooel
can .do as well.
The so-called Am eri can method of modifyin g cow's or other milk
so that it may have the sa me percen tage composition in proteins, carbohyd rates, fats, salts and water as the mother's milk, is looked upon as
a farce by many of our best physicians who have given years of their
practic e to t he treatment of th e diseases of children. The modifying
of milk is essent ially wrong scient ifically in t hat it is not the percentage
ccrnposit iou of t hese various constit uents which renders the milk good
for use. Th is has been sufficiently demonstrated clinically by th e feeding of children on milk which had a percentage composition widely
variant from th at of the milk of t he moth er, with t he best of results.
What is it , t hen, tha t effects th is difference in food va lu of th e
milk of different species'? It is . in t he so-called biological difference;
possibly an enzyme-like substance, which as yet has not been demonst rat ed by the chemist . To say a "biological difference" is of course
similar to saying UN at ure does the rest. " It is merely an admission of
our ignora nce, bnt yet we shou ld t ake advantage of what we do not
know, as well as what we do know and practice accordingly .
Every infant seems to be a law within itself, in so far as the feedin; is concerned, and the "preparation" of cow's milk means next to
not hing. If the mother cannot or will not nurse her child; if she does
not produce enough milk, or if she is suffering from some disease which
renders hcr milk un fit for th e child, a wet nurse should be procured,
as human milk, whether it be the same or widely different in percentage
composit ion from t hat of the mot her, is better t han milk of a different
species. T he milk of a different species when brought in cont act with
t he gastri c secret ions of th e child, frequ ently form s a leath ery coagulum,
which resists the activit ies of th . proteolyti c enzymes of the child's
stomach instead of being formed into a light , tloeulent coagulum which
can be readily peptonized. T his is 't he so-called " difference in biological reaction." I n order t o det ermi ne th at t hc baby is get ting sufficient
milk, it should occasionall y be weighed beforc and aft er feeding. The
child should be nursed at regular intervals, for the first few weeks, about
every two hours, and later not so often- say every t hree or four hoursbut it should always be regular . It sometimes happens that too frequent nursing results in a less amount of secretion of milk by t he mother.
Th e over stimulat ion of th e breast results in inhibition of secret ion.
T he child should be nu rsed very early and allowed to have t he cho-
lo~trum . Th ere may be little nourishment in this, and in t his case t he
~hI1d would need some water before t he secret ion of milk is sufficient.
. In cases uf retained placent a, it has been suggested that t he applicat.lO.n.of t he eluld to the breast will cause its release. This is suppused
to ini t iate by reflex, or in some other way, an etTect on the uterus which
524
525
assists in the expulsion of the placenta.
'
T he child should not nurse at night . The mot her needs rest. If
the child cries at night , it is frequently all indi cation t hat it is get t ing
an insufficient supply of milk. It should be allowed t o nurse mor e reeularly, hut possibly not so often, and the rest and general care of tI~c
mot her shou ld be looked afte r.
ConstlpaUoD:-The following discussion of the occurrence of
const ipat ion in children has been prepared from notes taken from clinic
lectu res in one of th e la rge hospitals of t he city of Chicago, a nd directed
hy u medical physician who has specialized on this subject for severa l
years . I sha ll he car eful not to misquote or misst at e t he lecturer.
Causes.- OIThc two most common causes of constipation in ehildren arc an insufficient food and cathartics." The doctor suggested
that n ext afte r th ese came colonic Hushing, used for t he purpose of
effectmg bowel movements. He said it seemed t hat physician s an d
nurses continued to make the common mist ake of giving oil cascara
salts and other laxatives, together with colonic Bushings, just 'the l'iam(~
us the ignorant parents, and t hat tills he believed was the most common
cause of constipation in babies.
. I have .had some prct ty st rong a rguments offered by medical phy~ICIa nS, aguin st the use of medicine in the treatment of disease, but 1
have .never hea rd anyone otTer such complete and decided argument
as this doctor presented. His training and experience placed him in
apositi~n to speak qui t e independ ently on th e subject , and he certainly
dill. Not only did h e take up t he more common drugs, so frequently
us ed, but he went Illt o det ail, giving t he pharmacology a nd t herapeutIC S of the man
drugs used for such purposes, and showed whv they
Were contraindicated. He also said that these "drugged" case~ wer~
t he ha rdest of all to t reat , as they responded much less readily to treatment than any others, and t hat it was sometimes necessary in such
cases to continue the internal medication for a short time, un t il other
Illcans.o f treatment could ta ke etTect, but it was never advisable to give
dr.ugs III cases where t hey had not previously been dru gged.
Tre.atment.-H?gulati on of the diet in quantity and quality and
the feeding of t he child at regular int ervals is highly essent ial. If t he

The following brief sugges tions are submitte d in no sense in the
light of discoveries, They may reflect the experiences and deducti on s
of hundreds of ot her osteopath s ; bu t our experiences are not all t he
sam e, and what is commo n expe rience in pract ice to many is something
not encountered by ot hers Th ey are snbmitted th en, for simply wha t
they arc points and ded uct ions jotted down at various ti mes from
experiences in pract ice.
In relaxing muscles, especially of the cervica l region, s teady, firm
pressure and te nsio n on t he muscles under y our fingers is always 'as efficient in producing result s, and in some cases much more so, than morc
abrupt, jerky movements. The lat ter are frequently irritating t o nervous persons.
T he less th e fingers slide over th e skill, in giving neck t reatment
for relaxat ion, t he better, particularly if the pat ient is at all nervous.
Some patients in whom there is no evidence of nervousness are irri t ated
thereby, especially if your han d is hot or not real soft or smooth.
I have never examined a case of measled where there was no t much
tenderness abou t th e first dorsal, and usually a bony lesion th ere or at
the second dorsal.
In stiffness or " kiuks of the neck" which develop over nigh t as a result of cont rac t ures of deep tissues at SOIne weakened , susceptible point,
it is wise t o advise patient to sleep on t he side where the greatest soreness and rigidity exist. With t he head raised by the pillow the eontracted t issues 01 that side will bc pu t on a constant st retch duriuz
night a nd relaxation furth ered. Lying on t he opposite side of the head
will make the cont ra cted side of neck concave, and approximate t hc origin and insert ion of contracted muscles and ligament s. They will
further draw up and in t he morning t he neck is likely to be pulled more
to one side and worse th an before.
. In ret urning prot ruding piles less irri t ati on will be produced if t he
piles are not touched at all by t he fingers. Squeeze or pinch th e adjacent ti ssues of each bnttock together over t he protruding veins, and
then push th ese tissues against t he piles and up into t he ischio-recta l
fossa. This t reatment is grateful as a palliat ive.

So cordia lly ha s t his little work been received t hat it has ru n t hrough
two editions since 1905. I n preparing the work t he author had in mind
the needs of the husy st udent and practitioner who have 80 much to eneroaeh upon their t ime. It is a concise, authentic, a nd yet a very CO Illprehensive work for its size and as a desk hook for the busy physician
or as a work for rapid reference for the bu sy student, we do not know of
anyt hing better . Im port ant chapters on t he examinat ion of sick childr en , food intoxications, bronchopn eumonia , t he exa mina t ion of th e
hear t, examinatio n of t he nerv ous system, infectious diseases, and a
well-written and compre hensive chapter on " Infant Feedi ng" arc ineluded. It is handsomely bound in flexihle leat her a nd from the bookmaker' s sta ndpoint, it fuil y sustains t he excellent repu t ation of the p1l1~­
lish ers, The direct , orderly way in which th e aut ho r has handled his
subject , has ena Lled him t o crowd more into a work of thi s size th sn
one might suspect, and has thereby ma de the hook doubl y useful .
In th e autho r's 0\\'11 word s, his purpose in writing this book is " to
place before th e medical student, and particularly
. the act ive , bu svprac tit ioner, a book describing the fund amenta l elements of food and
the principl es underlying its use, the essent ial reasons why a cha nge
of t he diet in certain diseases is desirable, and how thi s cha nge may be
. made in the most practical, time-saving way." Concerning th e chemist ry of foods very little is said, and no attempt has been mad e t{) cover
the whole subject of diet eti cs. Diet in relation t o only the more import ant diseases is discussed , and the author relies upon t he abili ty of the
prac ti tioner t o treat pr operly the di seases of less importan ce when t he
princi ples underlying t he treatment of t he more importan t ones arc
tho roughly understood. Following the discussion of each particular
disease and the diet eti c principles involved in its treatment , the aut hor
gi ves valuable diet list s and other important sugges tions which makes
t he work practica l and greatly enhances it s va lue. We are particularly
well pleased with the manner in which th e a ut hor presents thi s subject; it is a splend id work a nd should he in the hands of eve ry ph ysicinn .

By way of apology in pre senti ng an ot her medical dictionary th e
au thor gives as one of Ids special reasons the barbaric mi xtures in medical terminology resulting from a combina tio n of Greek and Latin forms.
While the author sees the uselessness of attempting any ra dical chsnga
in te rminology , yet in compiling this dict ionary , he makes t he attempt
to gu ide it by indicating correct t erm s, leaving, however , in t he more
common " barbarous mixtures" such as "ovarioto my" and "appendicitis" t he responsibil it y wit h the cons ulte r to eit her follow " his evil course"
or adopt the more cor rect suggest ions whi ch t he author gives. As a
definition of osteo pa t hy, the author gives t he following: I. Any disease of bone. 2. A syste m of therapeutics based npon the theory t hat
many diseases ar e du e t o pressure upon the vessels or nerves by some displaced vertebra or ot her parts of t he skeleton, or to a condit ion of imbn lanc e of the mu scle moving any join t ; the treatment i...; direc ted -to
the mechanical correction , by means of manipulation of t h assu med
osseous displacement or mu scular imba lan ce, with the conseq uent repression of t he abnormal reflexes and a restoration to normal of t he circulat ion and t he nerve impulses.
The work is standard in eve ry respect, and we do not hesitate to
recom mend it to the profession .

As A Matter of
Compa.rison
Some Iorm of support is
a nec essity in ninety rer cent
of the cases of Spina Curvature , POtts Di sease, etc.
T hese supports have usually been made of rigid,
hard, unyielding material,
which, while perhaps supplying the requir ed support
have other undesirable features,making the rem edy a lmost as bad as the disease.Re stri cted respiration and heart
action, hindrance to growth
and development , muscular
atrophy, scalded skin, etc.,
are some of the minor ills
that accompany the wearing
of jackets made of Plaster
of P a r i S J Sole Leat her,
Steel, etc.
H ere are a fe w o f t he
m any hundred s of old
jacke ts a n d su ppor ts w e

S held o n Applianc e t o th e

Here's The
COnlparison
T his Shelden Appliance is humane,
cool and comfortable. It does not
chafe or irritate even in the hottest weath er. It provides just
the required support, exerting a
gentle, firm pressure where needed
yet permi tting f ull re spiration an d.
proper muscular action . It lifts t he
weight of the head and shoulders
off of the spine and cor rects any
deflection of "the vertebras. It
weighs ounces where othe r spinal
support s weigh pounds.
Every applia nce is made to order, t o fit the individual require-ments of each patient ill accordance
,vith measurem ents taken by the
physician. I t is as easy to take off
and put on as a coat.' It cannot
be detected throu gh the clothing.
I n over 15, 000 cases, this Sheldon Appliance has produced
results and given comfort to
the patient far exceeding that
derived from the usual' Plaster
of Paris or other unyielding Jackets.
