AMERICANIZING A CHINESE CUSTOM The Chinese pay their physicians for keeping them well. That this sagacious custom in a different form is growing in America is shown by the increasing number of people who regularly visit their osteopath physicians to have their bodily mechanism inspected and structural deviations corrected before serious illness develops. That osteopathy is fully competent to treat existing disease, both acute and chronic, is abundantly proved; hut in the field of preventive treatment it occupies a pre-eminent position. The American mind is prone to balk at paying for an ounce of prevention, and learns from experience that the price of a pound of cure is many times greater. —C. B. ROWLINGSON, I). 0.
