New name for the museum
Posted: June 22, 2010“On June 22nd, 1874, I flung to the breeze the banner of Osteopathy. For (updated years) one hundred and thirty-six years it has withstood the storms, cyclones, and blizzards of opposition. Her thread are stronger to-day than when the banner was first woven. Her colors have grown so bright that millions now begin to see and admire and seek shelter under her protecting folds from disease and death. Mothers and Fathers come by legions, and ask why this flag was not thrown to the breeze before. It has taken many years to prepare the ground to sow the seeds of this as well as any other truth that has come to benefit mans so be patient, have faith in God and the final triumph of truth, and all will end well.”
Andrew Taylor Still, M.D., D.O.
Autobiography of Andrew Taylor Still, 1897
Note: The original grammar and spelling has been kept as taken from Dr. Still’s autobiography.
And, in honor of this historic date we are announcing the new name of the museum: The Museum of Osteopathic Medicine (formerly The Still National Osteopathic Museum). This name change confirms that we are “THE MUSEUM” for the osteopathic profession.
