This science which may more properly
be called an art is of quite recent orl.
gin. Its father or chief exponent and
promulgatOr. DIR. e. II. Pratt of Chica-

mans general organism. II has since

it not in good healthy condition will
influence unfavorably the health of
such person somewhere in his or her
makeup. This is particularly true of
the outlets that are guarded by the
sympathetic nerve. The nerve that
presides over the circulation, respira-
tion, digestion, nutrition. blood max
ing, etc. It may be the haemorrhoidal
tumor, the rectal catarrh or fssure, the
ulcer on the womb or the structure that
ofends it. Either of the above will act
as a source OF irritation to the nerve
presiding oyer the injured locality.
This is the unconscious and inyolun-
tary nerve. 1t never sleeps; it knows
no rest. From the dawn OF tue birth
until the last spark of life is extin
guished this nerve Is always watchtul;
always on guard looking after the in
dividual's welfare. a man racked with
pain or mental agony may go to sleep
under the influence of drugs and forget
for time his suffering. The irritated
sympathetic nerve will feel In it's own
way that it is offended and irritated-
irritated every minute and every hour
of the day and night without cessation
and in the course Of time will resent
the offense in one or in many way s
peculiar to it's own, either by altering

is nevertheless trme that q thorough
