This institution, known ae the Hrgeio- Therapeutic College of New-York, was established avout 15 years ago on a charter obtained by pr RT Tral, the originator of the theory of practice which it wae proposed to teach. At that time It was evident to Dr. Tras mind that the hyeelotherapeutie theory would cupersede the more established ideas on medical SeienCe as SOOT AS it became known to the public. and the college was established with he philanthropic intention of rescuing the world from the old-time drugs and nostrums.
