Why Osteopathy is Not Massage
First: Because the lesser cannot
include the greater. Osteopathy is
both a science and an art. As a
science it includes the broad sciences
of Biology, Anatomy, Physiology and
Pathology. Its scope and its thera
peutics. while independent and orig -
inal, are coextensive with the field
known as medical and surgical. Mass
age is nothing of the sort.
Second: Because, as an art, osteo
pathy is wider in its application than
either medicine or surgery singly,
treating with conspicuous success a
wide range of cases in both fields.
It does not require lees Intelligence and
scientific attainment to represent os
teopathy property than either medi
cine or surgery. Massage is not per
mitted to ass time rfcsptthsibilily for
the full care of disease except under
a physician’s direction. The osteo
path by contrast Is himself a physi
cian
Third: Because, insofar as their
work is parallel—that is, where they
attempt to accomplish similar things
—they work by entirely different
principles and with a technique en
tirely dissimilar. Osteopathy frees
up pressure on. blood vessels and
nerves by adjusting displacements of
bone, cartilage, ligament, tendon, fas
cia or muscle wherever it is found,
and by relaxing contractures of mus
cle and ligaments wherever existent,
whether these be due to prior, dis
placement, congestion as from taking
cold, over-work of the nerves, or yet
other causes. Finally, in order to
stimulate circulation after such ob~
stractions are removed, osteopathy
does not rub or apply pressure over
the veins, hut manipulates the ner
vous system through Its various cen
ters, either to stimulate or inhibit'
energy, so that Che vasomotor ap
paratus may bring about the desir
ed action In a physiological manner
—that is, by increasing heart action
and opening np the channels of cir
culation. Massage deals with an ef
fect; osteopathy concerns Itself pri
marily with causes.
Fourth: Osteopathy does not con
sist ot rules of action; Its technique
is not mastered by mere imitation;'
and it ia a matter of common remark;
that no two osteopaths treat the same
case in exactly the same way. Its
practitioners are taught to reason out
each' case froth the conditions exist
ing and to apply principles of cor
rection, adjustment and normalisation:
In the most common sense way. *
PLANS FLEET OF DIRIGIBLES.
• * - ;
German Inventor Would Carry 300
Paaoengora Aerosa the Atlantic.
I Vienna.—The Kerman airship Invent
or, A. JJoemer, is here trying to
raise capital to finance a line of trans
atlantic dirigibles, each capable of car
rying 300 passengers and of crossing
the Atlantic In fifty hours.
French exports state that .the new
j airship certainly is the most practice
bio yet designed for • long voyages.
The Inventor says It will bring Vienna
within sixty hours of Ne\V York. The
ships are to be as luxurious as the 1m
| perator, with a length of 800 feet and
a width of eighty. There are to be 300
cabins, dining and smoking rooms, a
promenade deck, kitchens and electric
lights. IJuilt in a scini-rigid.oar rilu
ning the entire length of the ship will
be thirty-four motors of 130 to 200
horsepower each, so arranged that no
ballast will be carried.
Engine breakdown or explosion will
be theoretically impossible. Three sep
arate gas tings in a single envelope wilj
lift the ship. The ship will be able to
make a nonstop flight of 4,000 miles at
an average of sixty-eight miles hourly,
landing without external aid.
It can descend mi the water, along
the top of which it can travel thirty
five miles hourly with no danger • if a
wreck.
Boerner is trying to raise sufficient
money to build six ships, requiring $5
000,000.
HOW MANY TOES ON TURKEY?;
;
The Question Is a Puzzler In Smith
County, Kan.
Smith Center, Kan.—The number ot'
toes possessed by a normal turkey re
mains a matter of conjecture In the
district court of Smith county.
Two men were before the court
charged with stealing seven big gob
blers and bens from a neighbor. The
plaintiff identified his fowls by holes
he had thoughtfully made in the web
between the toes with a harness
punch.
“How many toes has a turkey, any- i
way?” asked counsel for the defense.
The plaintiff had never counted
them.
One witness guessed four, another
guessed three, and a poultry dealer of
twenty years’ experience admitted he
did not know.
SCOURGE OF LEPROSY
IS ON THE INCREASE
There Are Now 700 Victims
isolated In Hawaii.
New York.—Leprosy is ou tlie in
crease, according to the statements of
various scientists studying the disease
In different parts of the world. In
Paraguay the number of cases doubled
within ten years, says Dr. J. VV. Lind
say. an Englishman. There are <iOO
' lepers at Molokai, in Hawaii, and llH)
isolated In Honolulu. The last quoted
report of the disease lu the United
States places the number of leprosy
cases at 140
In German East Africa the disease Is
on the increase. Dr. Albert Serra of
the University of Cagliari. Sardinia,
says that many more leprosy cases ex
ist in Sardinia than the statistics re
cord.
Most of the lepers of Hawaii are Iso
lated on the fertile peninsula of Molo
kai after they have been subjected to
six months’ observation at the Hono
lulu hospital. Much freedom Is allow
; ed. them In Molokai. They are allowed
to marry and to live with their wives
In separate cottages. Children are not
altowed to remain with an infected
parent however.
The question whether leprosy may bo
Inherited is yet an open one- Dr. Mar
cus Rahluowitch of the Karkoff hos
pital. who has conducted researches
through several years with the blood
of lepers, is authority for the state
ment that there exists In the blood of
all lepers be has examined a distinctive
bacillus He says he had found it In
the heart of an unborn child whose
mother bad died of the disease.
