He has the distinction of having the first place in the first Osteopathic School-has kept abreast of the times in all advanced thought from every source. He has the endowment of an energy that knows no defeat nor stopping place, in his search for Truth, for the amelioration of suffering humanity. For this reason he has surmounted every obstacle thus far and in the application of the sciences he has mastered, has but few equals, perhaps no superiors. Now, at an age beyond the ordinary, is active, with all of his mental faculties seemingly in as good condition as, if not better than, at any time in his life.

They have never mitigated human suffering, but to the contrary in- creased it. If what we have to say will check the tide of human misery, and be the means of enlightenment to any perceptibIe degree, or save the life of only a few sufferers, we shall have been repaid a thousand fold for our efforts.
