    'Cbe H. 'C. Still Infirmary Cures by the Science of Osteopathy all Diseases Which are Known as Curable. Dr, A. T. Still, founder of the Science of Osteopathy, has associated with him, in his infirmary organization, the oldest and most successful practitioners and exponents of the science, selected with special reference to their fitness for the work of practically demonstrating- the principles of Os- teopathy and occupying positions as teachers and lecturers in the American School of Osteopathy. All are regular graduates of this school. The students in the school are not permitted to even as- sist in treating the Infirmary patients. All the work is done by regular operators. The examination previous to treatment is conducted by Dr. Still's three sons assisted by the operators. After ex- amination the patient is assigned to the room in which he or she will receive treatment, and placed under the care of an Osteopath best suited to the case. The fees for treatment at the Infirmary are $25 per month. Where patients are unable to come to the Infirm- any for treatment, an extra charge of $1 to $2 per visit is added. The Infirmary maintains a complete bathing depart- ment in charge of competent attendants. As good baths are therefore obtainable in Kirksville as in any city. The charges are very moderate—twenty-five cents for a single bath, or $2.00 for a commutation ticket for ten baths. When bath tickets are procured no other fees to attendants are nec- essary. A representative of the Infirmary meets all trains, day and night, to help all patients who may need assitance and see that they are properly cared for.
