Dr. Wheeler Talks on the Subject.
What is headache anyway:
Scientific manipulation will put a stop 10 such
pain.
It's removing the hidden cause in puzzliug
cases, where Osteopathy is so successful.
What is headache? Just a symptom, that is
ALL but very important symptom, that explains
a great deal. A valuable indicator, if properly
read, understood and applied to an advantage as
regards the cause, as headache may be caused
by hundred and one different things.
You say you want the headache stopped. How
by something to deaden the nerves and stop the
pain? What is pain other than a notification Of
troubef l6 is natures way OF telling her story
that there is something the matter. An internal
organ, such as a kidney, might be partially des
troyed by disease and we not know ANYTHING
about it if it was not for the pain Stopping the
pain and letting the trouble 60 on, is like stopping
fire alarm and letting the fire burn.
Osteopathy SAYS mo, remove the cause and
the headache will disappear"
A headache over the eyes, through the temples
in the top of the head, at the base Of the brain,
down the baek of the neck, whichever it may be,
with the sharp darling pain of neuralgia, on one
side OF the face; the steady daily ache; the seem
ing oyer-fullness; the hot sensation of the head
and the over-blood supply, or even the gone
ness" in the head, all display a valuable amount
of information as to whether the headache is
caused by the eyes-Oftentimes from oVer-use,
being unduly strained because of the weakened
condition of the nerves. Indigestion; over-eat-
ing at unreasonable hours; a sluggish liver; i'm
.
constipation, which is the cause of more ills than
any other one thing known, and why should it
not be? The waste and poisonous matter which
should be disposed of in natures own way, is
not, but instead is reabsorbed into the circula-
ton, and causes further trouble.
Overwork is another frequent cause. You ask
an overworked brain and nervous system to do
extra work, which is adding a load 10 a load and
theu you wonder why your head aches. Is 1t 10
be wondered atS
1t may be soue spinal condition. which this
science has demonstrated to be tue hidden cause
Of so many puzzng cases A tumor, or some
female trouble. Osteopathy has been proven to
be remarkably successful In removing hinder
ances and distractions ia the way of contracted
muscles and ligaments which were acting as inn
pedments TO the natural flow of the fluids Of the
body at certain times, which ars essential TO
health; in the adjustment of certain misplace
ments OF organs 10 establish healthy normal
circulation to noursh and tone up the muscles
ing these misplaced organs in place after they
are put there and TO set right iunumerabe other
causes. Common sensel isn't it,
While scientific manipulation relieves such
headaches, the real aim Of Osteopathy is not par
particularly to stop a certain headache That is
a comparatively small matter, although II may
be headache OF the simplex form, or the height
Of the nervous state, hysterical headache; but
it is TO get down to the bottom of the case find
out the real cause of the trouble and relieve tine
condition, whatever 1t may be, so that no more
headaches appear. That is Osteopathy.
The remark thot a well known wholesale drug
gst made recently speaks for itself, that "a large
majority of heart failures of the present day
were due to the fact that such powerful drugs
were used as headache remedies" which is an
undeniable truth,
