A new science- osteopathy

Abstract

Introduction: It is a significant fact in history that all philosophies relating to natural phenomena, all movements for reform, all evolutions into a higher plane and a larger life, trace their inception to the minds of individuals. In narrower spheres the peculiarity is noticeable. When we investigate the history of human health and man’s methods for combatting disease, we are not surprised to find that single minds have furthered the mysterious phenomena relating then to, and have given to mankind the underlying principles around which other minds less original may group facts and philosophies less fundamental. So we have our Howey who gave to us the important fact of Hood Circulation; Hahnemann, who gave to us the term of “small doses” and the theory that “like cures like”; Pasteur develops the great genu theory; Lister applies the principles of antiseptic surgery; while Eddy advances her belief that sickness cannot exist in living matter because matter itself cannot exist except in the realm of imagination.
