Yes, We Cure Colds
and Sore Throats.

Can Osteopathy handle such cases as
la grippe, bad colds, sore throat, bron-
chial irritation, loss of voice, etc? Yes,
they are handled with remarkable de-
gree OF success. As rule five or six
treatments will break up an attack and
restore harmony to the vital forces.
The Osteopath finds that the above
named troubles are none other than the
effects of common cause and this cause
is tension both of ligaments and mus
clss, tenderest, elevation Of temperature,
in short. anything but proper state Of
the upper dorssl region of the spine.
This tension is usually most marked
from the frst to the four III dorset verti-
bras and it frequently extends as far up
as the third cervisal vertebrae, conse-
qusntly this is where the ostsopath must
get it his work.
In order that you may know why we
treat in this region / will just quote a
few lines from Gray, thirteenth English
editor, on page 1876. "Yhe internal
branches of the six upper dorse' are very
small; they supply nlaments to the thor
acis aorta and its branches, besides
small branches to tho bodies OF the YER
tebrae and their liEaments. Branches
from the third and fourth, and some
times also from first and second ganglia
form part OF the posterior pulmonary
plexus. In such Affections We often
treat the pneumogastric. (See Gray
page 1874 Il Branches from both
plexus land past pulmonary accompany
ing the ramihcations Of the air tubes
through the substance Of the lungs.
Thus you see the above illustrates
the ostcopathic belief in the cause Of
disease. He accordingly sets to work to
relax taunt muscles, ligaments, fassia
and replace slight luxations Of the ribs
wqicb may be caused by this great ten
sion and in so doing the nerve plexuses,
above quoted from Gray, are enabled
once more to take up tho reins and dir
ect the vital energy in its proper chan
nels.

O. ool,.xi... Physical rra,n,ns.

It seems idle to expect that any sys
tematio physical training worthy Of the

Students ON the voluntary system. Diff
dence, inadvertence. love Of ease, dis
traction in many directions excessive
and morbid devotion to study in some,
mere boyish laziness. Ignorance OF how
to begin and natural sluggishness and
Wis inertip in others will prevent it un-
less the work is laid out and required.
It ought of course to he part Of their
education, not an accident Of their rec-
reation or . passing incident Of their
feverish and overwrought thirst for
glory. There is no greater boon for boys
than to have their work laid out for
them, and the word required" has no
eerrors at all for them, but quite the
contrary, II the work itself is obviously
beneficial They welcome it. Being q
fundamental and nearly universal need.
physical training should not be the sub
jeot Of election, but should be required
Of all except inva!ids and cripples, with
election only as to the kind and form OF
exercise in the large field from which
choice can be made.
The builder Of q ten story modern
building may have the largest freedom
Of choice as to architectural style, ma
terial, ornament and internal arrange
ments above the ground, but he can
have no alternative as to his founda-
tions, and the builders Of our growing

There are so ways to spoil good bread,
says an old New England housekeeper.
There are hundred little things to be
considered and allowed for that require
accurate observation and experience. The
same process that will raise good bread in
cold weather will make sour bread in the
heat of summer. Different qualities of
-four require variations In treatment, as
also different sorts and conditions Of yeast,
and when all Is done the baking presents
another series If possibilities which re-
quire exact attention. Although bread
