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

Don’t mix

They begin with “Osteopathic School” and “Infirmary,” then comes the kite tail tied to osteopathy. We are up-to-date; we give suggestive treatment; we teach suggestive therapeutics, water cure; we teach how and what to eat;” we use salt water and olive oil baths; we think all these doings “help osteopathy.” All persons know that if they do not wash the dirt off once in a year or twice that they will stink a doctor out of his office. Osteopathy supposes that cleanliness is common. It makes me ashamed to read in any sanitarium journal or school catalogue claiming to be osteopathic to be so far off as to poke in a lot of cheap trash and say it will “help osteopathy.” Such may come from old medicine fossils, but will not come from an up-to-date osteopath of brains. The trouble comes from genuine ignorance of anatomy and physiology.

He who knows only a smattering of osteopathy is just the man to substitute water cure, suggestive therapeutics, mesmerism, salt, oil and all kinds of systems, old and new, brag up osteopathy and use the name in big letters to catch customers and fleece their pockets. Osteopathy is a complete science and is not dependent on allopathy, homeopathy, eclecticism, suggestive therapeutics, christian science or any system or school of philosophy. But its own philosophy of surgery, midwifery, and general treatment are complete and defy refutation, and pronounces all conglomerates to be traps baited with flattery and deception to deceive the afflicted, to obtain their money. I repeat that such writers do not know the first principles of the philosophy of osteopathy or their pens never would betray their ignorance by their weak productions such as I have read in journals claiming to champion a school of osteopathy. I am proud to find no brainy graduate of the A. S. O. guilty of any such shortcoming. The successful osteopath knows his business and sticks to it.
