MacKenzie - 

Christie M. MacKenzie, D. O., of Plainview, a skilled practioner of the 
modern science of osteopathy, was born at Plato, Minn., March 25, 1889, 
daughter of Donald and Annie (McNeil) MacKenzie. She was graduated 
from Plato high school in the class of 1905, and then entered the general 
hospital at St. Peter, where she recieved three years' training as a nurse, 
being graduated in 1908. During the seven years following she followed 
nursing as a profession. Then, in 1915, she entered the American School 
of Osteopathy, at Kirksville, MO., and after three years a student, was 
graduated with the class of 1918. Beginning practice in her home town, 
she remained there three months, at the end of which time she came to 
Plainview and opened her present office in the F. J. Cornwall building, 
where she is making a specialty of the diseases of women and children, 
though also engaged in general practice. She has not yet lost a case, and 
her remarkable success has not only called public attention to the 
method of healing she practices, but has also gained for her a wide 
personal reputation and increased the number of her patients. The 
article on osteopathy presented in this work was prepared by her.
