I started a collection of texts from old osteopathic journals that could be of interest to osteopaths and people curious about osteopathy.

Osteopathic surgeons

FOOLS write what they have read, wise men write what they know, have learned and proven to be true. They write their successes for the good it may add to the books of progress. In America we get tired and sick of clippings and compiled trash called “treatise” on this and that subject. We have but little use for quotations from old authors on midwifery, female diseases, surgery and general diseases. We are osteopaths and have no time to spare to listen or commit to memory anything from old books that are obsolete, dead and out lived by all men. Our success in knifeless surgery comes from superior knowledge of the form and uses of the whole body. We learn the form, place and use of the many muscles, ligaments, blood fountain rivers that supply blood to each part. We learn the location and use of the nerves, motor, sensory and nutrient, and must learn how to assist them to natural action, both to build and remove wastes, or we will allow waste matter to be piled up. Then if we do not understand how to set the excretory nerves to carry off such trash (“tumors, etc. ,”) we will begin to cut into the body and slash our knives into sacred organs, destroy the physiological uses, “cure” a few for a time and kill or maim for life seventy-five per cent. An osteopathic surgeon with a knife in his hand is a very poor argument for the professor who taught him surgery.

Surgery to us is a very serious subject and does mean to know enough of the human system and its power to keep us in form and function that we will not be deformed and diseased by growths and decay, if we keep the body perfect, as nature gave the body to man. Then to learn surgery here does not mean to cut and saw, but it means to stop and carry away growths by adjusting the body from the variations to the original, normal condition. Our students must learn to keep between the knife and his patient, he must reason or he will fall into the old ruts of medical schools. I say in all candor that your finest powers of reason must be kept in trim or you will fail to cure, and may be meritoriously called a fool.
