18 DR. STILL'S DEATH IS A GREAT LOSS TO OSTEOPATHY A Harrisburg Practitioner Pays Tribute to Founder of Drugless Healing Practitioners and patrons of oste opathy in Harrisburg and all over the country feel that in the death last week of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still America has lost one of its really great offsprings, a man who meas ured to the standard of a Lincoln. Indeed the story of his childhood, his frontier life, his struggles to es tablish osteopathy against powerful antagonism and his final success reads not unlike that of the great Emancipator. Among the osteopath physicians of this city who studied the profession tinder Dr. Still is Dr. H. M. Vastine, 109 Locust street. He describes the founder of osteopathy as a big, pow erful man, so careless of his personal appearance that ho never wore a necktie, whose deep set reflective eye seemed to see to the ends of the earth. "I have 'frequently heard him tell what tirst started him thinking that the system of drugs and curative agents was all wrong," related Dr. Vastine. "He was then about ten years old and had been suffering with headaches. One day he made a swing of his father's plow line be tween two trees. But his head hurt too miieh to make it comfortable, so he let the rope down eight or ten inches off the ground and used it for a swinging pillow. Thus he lay stretched out on his back and his neck across the rope. Very shortly he became easy and went to sleep and when he awoke the headache was gone. After that for twenty years he 'roped' his neck when his head hurt, always probing for the cause. He could see that he sus pended action of the great occipital nerves and gave harmony to the flow of the arterial blood to and through the veins, and ease was the effect." Dr. Still's father was a Methodist missionary who moved from Vir ginia to Kansas in the early days where he worked among the Shaw nee Indians. The enterprising young son, after he had a medical educa tion, used to tell how he dug up Indian skeletons by the hundreds and it was thus that he became such a wonderful anatomist. Asked what osteopathy is he was accustomed to reply, "It is anatomy tirst, last and all the time." While Dr. Still was surgeon scout with General John C. Fremont, and later when he served in the Twen t.v-iirst Kansas Militia in the Civil AVar he convinced himself little by little that the idea of drugs was all wrong and in 1874 he was prepared to declare that a disturbed artery worked the beginning, to an hour and a minute, when disease begins to sow the seeds of destruction in the body. He announced that all sub stances that enter the body which are not foods are poisons. In his search for a basic foundation upon which to build his pliilssophy he ap propriated the fundamental law of cause and effect, and assumed that disease was an effect only. That the causes were largely intra-physi cal, within the body mechanism it self. "The integrity of the structure determines the integrity of the func tion," he declared. "Man is a self oiling, .self-regulating, self-repara tive, animated machine. Given prop er air, food and water, the machine will function perfectly, so long as the parts are maintained in perfect alignment. When order >in all parts is found, disease cannot prevail." It required years of struggle and most of the time a struggle with poverty before Dr. still could awaken interest in his new method of curing. He was never one to value money; only sought the truth and an oppor tunity to help his fellow man. He believed in surgery, although he thought it was sometimes practiced when osteopathy could be used. In the end he was enabled to establish the now flourishing college at Kirks ville. Mo., and scattered over the country are other colleges with many hospitals and sanatoriums. Dr. Still was famous for his epi grams and original maxims which came to him with no effort of think ing apparently, but which really were the result of profound thought. Here are a few: "Life is the force sent forth by Deity to vivify all nature." "The medical world disguises its inability to cure by talk, talk, talk." "I fought this light for God when he didn't have a friend on earth but Sam Jones and me." "All medical writings fight ef fects, not cause." "A lesion precedes and produces the effect known as disease. This i.s the soul and body of osteopathy as a healing art. "The great Inventor of the Uni verse by the union of mind and mat ter has constructed the most won derful of all machines, man, and osteopathy demonstrates fully that he is capable of running without the aid of whisky, drugs or kindred poisons." Cures Colds The World Over LAXATIVE BROMO QUININE, the Word-Famous Cure for Colds and Grip, is used by every Civilized Nation and has a larger sale in the United States than the combined sales of all other Cold and Griptab lets. It has stood the test for a Quarter of a Century. There is only one "Bromo Quinine." E. W. GROVE'S signature is on box. 30c.
