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

The heart
The heart is to this system of cures of universal importance, as the first evidence of life and motion is found at the heart, and all bones and softer parts must obtain all matter entering their form and kind. Then it is only in keeping with reason that to explore the arterial system of blood supply for cause of disease would be to begin the search at the heart. If you stop at the heart, the headquarters of blood supply, you will see a division, or set of arteries going toward the head and arms, and the other going down toward the abdomen and legs, these two divisions comprise all. We know all failures to supply blood will be justly charged to one of these divisions, and we can hopefully hunt for cause of variations, and in proportion to our knowledge of anatomy we will locate the cause of such lesions.
