In our post-operative cases study the charts and you will see that they do not have the acutely violent crisis that usually occurs under other treatment. They are under better control and if we can get them near the beginning, as we usually do, we can keep up the resistance so that where they would otherwise have a hard crisis they have an easy one. Instead of having a temperature of 105, pulse 165, respiration 70, or such a condition, they are more apt to run a temperature of 102, pulse 120, respiration 35 or 40 and they go through it without that suddenness and acuteness that is common under other methods of treatment. In several instances, as an example of showing how this resistance is kept up, I had letters from boys in the camps. One letter told of a wide epidemic of severe tonsillitis. In one group of soldiers there were three osteopaths who treated all the men and this was the only group that was not sent to quarantine. This group developed sore throat and was treated osteopathically and the sore throats checked so that quarantine was unnecessary. Among the detailed reports in the A. M. A. Journal there will be nothing about this, nor about many other instances where osteopathic treatment, given by men forced to remain in the ranks, has done things that medicine cannot do. These examples are too frequent to be coincidents. If I had had three cases of post-operative pneumonia and they had all got well, it would not be surprising. If I had ten cases and they all got well, there are medical hospitals that have been this lucky. But there are no medical hospitals in the world that can report one hundred cases or two hundred cases or three hundred with developed pneumonia and all lived. The percentage of pneumonia cases that die now in medical hospitals, is much less than formerly. But the cause of this is not vaccine, antitoxin or drugs. It is due to the fact that pneumonia cases now, like typhoid, are given very little medicine and are turned over to general nursing treatment; that is, in the best medical hospitals. The mortality is in inverse ratio to the drugs given. The advance medical teaching is against so much drugs in pneumonia, though of course the hick doctors use it because they are practicing medicine of the by-gone age, before Andrew Taylor Still forced on the world the idea partly started by homeopathy, that the less drugs the better. Homeopathy failed in not quite discarding drugs and in not having a substitute that reproved drugs. As a matter of interest I wish to mention that while in medical college I had the advantage of being taught surgery by the greatest surgeon that ever lived, John B. Murphy. I only wish that circumstances could have permitted me to have shown him what osteopathy could do in post-operative conditions, because Murphy was a broad minded man and no man living ever thought less of orthodox medicine and old fashioned drug treatment than Murphy.
