If any one doubts that some Osteopathic schools are conducted from other than philanthropic motives, let him read what the _Osteopathic Physician_ said of a new school founded in California. Of all the fraud, bare-faced shystering, and flagrant rascality ever exposed in any profession, the circumstances of the founding of this school, as depicted by the editor of the _Osteopathic Physician_, furnishes the most disgusting instance. Men to whom we had clung when the anchor of our faith in Osteopathy seemed about to drag were held up before us as sneaking, cringing, incompetent rascals, whose motives in founding the school were commercial in the worst sense. And how do you suppose Osteopaths out in the field of practice feel when they receive catalogues from the leading colleges that teach their system, and these catalogues tell of the superior education the colleges are equipped to give, and among the pictures of learned members of the faculty they recognize the faces of old schoolmates, with glasses, pointed beards and white ties, silk hats maybe, but the same old classmate of--sometimes not ordinary ability. I spoke a moment ago of old maids being induced to believe that they would be made over in the clinics of an Osteopathic college. That was not an exaggeration. An Osteopathic journal before me says: "If it were generally known that Osteopathy has a wonderfully rejuvenating effect upon fading beauty, Osteopathic physicians would be overworked as beauty doctors." Another journal says: "If the aged could know how many years might be added to their lives by Osteopathy, they would not hesitate to avail themselves of treatment." A leading D. O. discusses consumption as treated Osteopathically, and closes his discussion with the statement in big letters: "CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED." Another Osteopathic doctor says the curse that was placed upon Mother Eve in connection with the propagation of the race has been removed by Osteopathy, and childbirth "positively painless" is a consummated fact. The old made young! The homely made beautiful! The insane emancipated from their hell! Consumption cured! Childbirth robbed of its terrors! Asthma cured by moving a bone! What more in therapeutics is left to be desired? O grave, where is thy victory? CHAPTER X. OSTEOPATHY AS RELATED TO SOME OTHER FAKES.
