![{Reprint from Paciric MEDICAL JOURNAL, May, 1912.] The Osteopath’s Boast. By Douc.tass GRAHAM, M. D., Boston, Mass. When God made man, he gave him bone For the Osteopath to work upon; He gave him nerve and he gave him muscle That he might surely stand the tussle Of getting well. For no more pain shall you endure For there’s nothing I can’t cure, Oh! I’am an Osteopath! Oh! I am an Osteopath! Mankind has many ills, For which the doctor’s pills Do naught but make him worse, Zt And decrease the family purse, And all to no purpose; But no more pain shall you endure. For there’s nothing I can’t cure, For I am an Osteopath! Oh! I am an Osteopath! The spinal column is the place That raises hell with the human race, For the nerves get caught in the bones that slip, And will not let go their bull dog grip Until we put them back again. But no more pain shall you endure, For there’s nothing I can’t cure, For I am an Osteopath! Oh! I aman Osteopath! + PRT een -. It matters not from what you suffer, Neuralgia, gout or something tougher, Measles, diphtheria or whooping cough, ; ‘ Ee. We can cure them all fest-nteht straight off, Ba | By settin’ the bones. 7 cs agers But no more pain shall you endure, For there’s nothing | can’t cure, For I am an Osteopath! Oh! I am an Osteopath! No masseurs nor masseuses we For they do naught but rub and patter! While we take the pressure off the nerves, And thus get at the root of the matter, And cure the patients all. But no more pain shall you endure, For there’s nothing I can’t cure, For I am an Osteopath!](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b33454073_0001.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
