Osteopathy: The Science of Healing by Adjustment (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Osteopathy: The Science of Healing by Adjustment

There is much misinformation concerning Osteopathy. It has been confused in the public mind with every conceivable form of treatment. An effort is here made to give an authoritative, simple, non-technical statement of its principles; to show that they are original, distinctive and unique, and to explain their application to the treatment of diseases.

As a graduate and former practitioner of medicine, I have endeavored to present the claims of Osteopathy to recognition as a school of healing, conservatively and fairly. We ask an unprejudiced judgment.

Especial thanks are due to Dr. F. P. Millard.
