ready means of control of the vascular system in the lower abdomen and pelvis. Much, very much, is still to be learned concerning the sympathetic nervous system, and all such increase in knowledge can come in one way only, clinical observation of Osteopathic treatment. WILLIAM SMITH, L. R. C. P. and S., (EDIN.), D. O. THE END. * * * * * A. T. Still's Table or Device, That He Has Constructed For THE USE OF THE OPERATOR, THE EASE AND COMFORT OF THE PATIENT. It is a welcome success and does away with the lubberly old tables. It gives ease and support to all classes of patients. By its use the patient can sit in a chair or on a stool and feel at perfect ease during all treatments, then the operator gets results and is not tired to death when he has treated a patient; knows and feels that there has been some good done. The asthmatic knows he has gotten help because pain has left his chest and he breathes as with new lungs; he knows he is helped more by one treatment while sitting on a chair with his body easy and at rest in the cushioned swinging device than he would or has received by the best skill on any table. Then the operator says, "Thank fortune, I am not worn out, and know I have gotten every bone to the place it belongs, and I know I have given satisfactory relief because my patients say so." I think to an operator this device is his best friend. With it well understood he can do as much work as three good operators can do on the old tables. Remember this device does no part of the treatment but places the patient to your convenience while you do the work. I feel as I am the discoverer of the device, that I know its needs and feel free to advise pupils. The device will cost you $25 only. A. T. STILL, Founder.
