The various conditions and modifications, and varieties of conditions, called disease, seem to be the stumbling-blocks over which many fall and wonder why certain conditions are to be treated differently from other conditions, or no effect need be expected, as to the amelioration. While it is a fact that certain conditions require special attention, different from some other conditions, known as disease, many are puzzled on account of the reason therefor. The majority of physicians have but few remedies they prescribe, yet they treat many conditions with these few medicines. The better informed physicians treat the patient for the purpose of restoring the harmony, and for the purpose of bringing about certain conditions in the body, and rest results when these conditions are brought about. Whilst they may have specifics for certain conditions, they have no specifics for what is commonly denominated disease.
Conditions are the things to consider always.
If one has a fever, it is due to disturbance of the nervous system, and the circulation of the blood is interfered with, and is a prominent factor in producing the condition. They being free the trouble is over and a return to a normal condition ensues as fast as the congestion is dispelled. These are the general principles of treating all pathological conditions called disease. There are three conditions which exist in all pathological conditions. These are invasion, retention, enervation, and these constitute every known condition we have to combat in order to free the system from disease.
