NEURALGIAS.

Did you ever stop to think what
the word means? 1t is taken from
tko Greek words which signifies
nerve pain" All pain is nerve pain
1t is defined by one medical auth
ority as nerve paroxysmal pain
along the course of a nerve, and not
associated with demonstrable struc-
tural changes in the nerve"
In other words, neuralgia, is term
which may be applied to a pain in
any part of the body. when the dag
nostician is unable to determine the
cause. The word explains nothing to
the patient and means nothing to the
physician, who dismisses him with
that diagnosis.
The face. the arm, the side. the
ovary. the stomach, the liver; and,
In fact, almost any part of the body
has its own specially named "algia,
or dynia" (pain) and yet. when you
seek knowledge of the cause of the
pain. there is not ray of light to be
found in all medical literature. There
is cause for these pains. or they
would not exist: and It remains for
the osteopath. and him alone, to find
and remove that cause.
Neuralgia is the cry Of pinched
nerve for relief, and it matters not
whether the pain be in facial, inter-
costal. or a stomach nerve. Which is
preferable: to stif1e the cry with the
dangerous hypodermic of morphine,
or. to remove the pressure from the
nerve, so that It need no longer call
for relief? Everyone has experienced
the pain in the little finger. and side
of the hand when the crazy bone"
was struck. or pinched at the elbow.
That pain is neuralgia. Would you
thing Of taking dose of quinine, ar
senic or phenacetin to cure that pain?
Or. again. would you paint the fingers
with iodine, or apply electricity? You
say. "of course not. How absurd
I'd remove the pressure at the elbow"
Well. then do the same thing with
pinched nerves in any other part of
your body. The principle is one and
the same, though not so apparent to
any but the skilled anatomist.

airy relief of facial neuralgia, while
morphine is served up to sufferers
from any of these. What is really
necessary in any, or all of these cases
is no more or less than the proper
adjustment of a rib, hip bone, or a
vertebra, that the pressure caused by
the slight deviation from the normal
position may be removed.
While some neuralgias are stub
born the majority are readily cured
by osteopathy when properly applied.

A Town Maker
P. A. RICE

In the making of greater Grand
Junction p. A Rice contributed no
small share. A pioneer of this valley,
coming here in the spring of 1888, he
began Immediately a career of un-
broken business success. Mr.. Rice
was born in Kentucky, but received
his rearing and education in Missouri.
He came to Colorado in 1871 and the
charm OF the new Eldorado being SO
permanent, the spell so attractive
that Mr.. Rice remained in the Cen
tennial state since then, a period of
thirty-seven years.
When Mr.. Rice came to this city, it
was only little hamlet, but 1t gave
indications even then of what the
fullness of time, the development of
its natural resources would accom-
plish. For twelve years prior to his
coming to Grand Junction he had
been engaged in the lumber and cattle
business In and around Canon City;
but the stories of THE Little Empire
of the Western Slope" appealed to him
So ioIciuiy III All THEIR eupstdhtidi al
lurements that he came here to see,
too work and to conquer. Locating
his yards and headquarters where
they are still today on the corner of
Fourth and Ute, he began business
that grew and expanded with the rise
and enlargement of the city.
The establishment is one OF the
largest in the western country, irs
output being arranged SO as to cover
the demands of all branches of trades
and industry where lumber is used.
Large stocks of dry, clear and select
lumber of all sizes for regular build
ing purposes are carried. A specially
is made of timber for mills and mines.
His yards and planning mills form one
of the largest manufacturing plants
in Colorado. The saw mill is located
twenty-five miles south of Grand
Junction. From this point the pro-
duct is hauled to market by wagon,
thus, furnishing employment for
large number of people. The output
of the planning mill is doors, sashes,

completely equipped with most ap-
proved machinery and turns out

Lumber is the main business OF Mr..
Rice and in that he is an authority.
But lumber has not take up all his
valuable time, for he has, like many
other of the leading business men of
this section, taken an interest in the
growing and cultivation of fruit.
From the first he was firm believer
and an earnest advocate of the fruit
of this valley; and in this belief he
was so confident that he backed the
thought with tin and capital to his
perfect satisfaction. He is today the
owner of a well-kept and rightly con-
Quoted orchard. in which he finds
pleasure mingled with satisfying
profit. From all view point Mr.. Rice
is a happily selected representative
of a successful man. His ways have
been the right way and his success
is one for all to try to follow.

because individuals are immune SO
long as they are in a healthy con-
dition. In connection with this state
ment note that persons suffering from
chronic inflammation, or catarrh of
the pharynx. as we'll as nasal catarrh
are extremely liable to the disease.
The primary cause already exists and
the exciting cause, klebs-loffler bac-
illus, is all that is necessary to bring
on a case of diphtheria which is either
mild or malignant according to the
condition of vitiated tissue. "Vitiated
tissue is an absolute prerequisite be-
fore the bacterium can excite the
specific disorder" Now this weaken
and the lesion must be corrected, but
this is not done by massage ae many
would have you believe. 1t is just as
absurd to suppose that a dislocation
of the knee could be rubbed into place
as to say that osteopathy cures dis
ease by simply rubbing or massaging
When the osteopath is called into
an ordinary sore throat or supposed
case of diphtheria, he makes his dag
nosis the same as any physician, ac-
cording to the clinical symptoms and
microscopic examination of the ex-
udate. Should the case prove to be
diphtheria he conforms to the laws
in regard to isolation, quarantine and
disinfection that others may not be
exposed. Hygenic measures are
adopted and osteopathic Therapeutics
instituted.
The osteopath knows that the blood
is the best germicide known. He
knows also that there must be an
obstructed flow of arterial and
venous blood TO the region of the neck
throat, and upper part of chest. He
proceeds at once to find the cause
of the obstruction and to read.ust the
same. To do this it requires one well
versed in the knowledge of anatomy
and physiology. When the normal
circulation is re-established the dis
ease is dispelled by the antitoxic.
germicidal properties of pure blood.
The prognosis is good and II treat
ment is begun early in laryngeal
cases they too are favorably.

TYPHOID FEVER.

The most important predisposing
causes of typhoid fever are spinal
LESSONS in the splanchnis and lumbar
regions of the cord, impairing the
vast motor, sympathetic, and lymphatic
supply to Peyer's patches and the me-
senteric glands, which are involved in
this disease. These LESSONS lower the
resistive power of the intestines, al
lowing the dreaded germ totake root,
grow and multiply.
There are also other predisposing
causes, such as overwork, improper
food, unhygenic environment, and un-
sanitary surroundings. The typhoid
bacillus, that Is so much dreaded, is
held by the osteopathic profession as
a secondary cause only. We know.
according to scientific Investigation,
that bacteria cannot exist and prop
agate in healthy tissue; consequently
the principal cause is traced to the
weakened condition of the body, max
ing it possible for these germs to ex-
list here.
True. the bacillus of Eberth is
found in all cases of typhoid fever;
but only as the fowls of the air are
found feasting off the lifleless dumb
beast.
The extent and location of the lesion
haste do materially with the severity
of the attack of this disease.
As a rule the diagnosis is compare
lively easy, though, 1t should be care
fully made; definitely outlining the
direct cause in each individual case,
with particular stress laid upon the
anatomy and physiology Of the parts.
Successful practitioners agree, be-
Iieve, that a correct diagnosis COM
pletes one-half OF the cure. OF all
acute infectious diseases, typhoid
fever is one that is treated success
fully osteopathically.
DIR. Osler, author of Osler's Practice
of Medicine, says: "All schools of
healing agree that drug Therapeutics
avails but little In this disease" The
treatment consisting of propolacis,
good nursing, diet. hygiene and hydro
theropy is all helpful; but, until the
disease is dealt with through the di-
rect cause. we can never hope to abort
the attack in the least.
The first and most important treat
ment is to correct the spinal irreg-
nlarity, equalizing intestinal circula-
tion. freeing congestion, and conse-
quent1y, checking the fever-this
osteopathy does in its treatment.
CHARLES E. TAYLOR, D. o.

APPENDICITIS.

Does the appendix have function,
or is it a mere remnant without func-
ton? The osteopath believes that 1t
has a function, for the reason that it
has glands and motion the same as
the adjoining portion of the intestines.
The healthy appendix is able to
empty itself and carry on its work
of secreting a digestive juice; but as
soon as its circulation is interfered
with it becomes impacted, or obstruct-
ed. with fecal matter. which results
in acute inflammation, sometimes fol-
lowed by the formation of pus. This
is appendicitis.
The primary cause of appendicitis
is an abnormality of that portion of
the spine from which the nerves
emerge which supply the appendix
and tthe adjoining portion of the in
testine. As result the bowels fire.
quently become impacted in the re-
gion of the appendix, which prevents
this organ from performing its work
properly, and inflammation sets in.
If an osteopath physician is called
during the acute attack, before pus
has formed, he can usually prevent
this by correcting any abnormalities
of the spine, and bettering the circu-
lation by removing any pressure
which interferes with the normal
blood supply. If there is an impac-
ton, it is usually necessary to give
enema of olive oil for immediate re-
lief, followed by careful osteopathic
treatment, removing the cause and
equaIizing the circulation, allowing
the affected parts to do their work
properly. In the early stage of this
disease careful abdomenal treatment
over the appendix, and manipulation
of the bowels, raising them out of
lilac fossal, frees the congestion and
is very beneficial.
The success of the different osteo-
paths in treating this disease has
been gratifying.

Perhaps in no direction has Osteo-
pathy made SO great an advance as
in the treatment of all ailments Pc
culiar to woman. This system Of
treatment is unique in that it is based
upon an entirely new idea of the
cause and treatment of disease.
All organs in the body are depend
ent upon the blood and lymph cur
rents to carry them nourishment.
These same currents must also re-
move the waste products. which, if
not rapidly eliminated, will cause ir-
ritation and disease.
The osteopath knows. a poorly nour-
waste laden organ, cannot function
ate properly; therefore. he does not
believe in stimulating (whipping)
treatment to compel a part to work
under unfavorable conditions. The
osteopathic idea is to bring about per-
feet adjustment of all parts, by simple
and efficient mechanical manipula-
tions. applied mainly to the spine.
Perfect adjustment brings about un-
obstructed circulation, and nerve ac-
ton and health is the result.
The application of electricity. vi
orators and drugs have no place what
ever In the osteopathic treatment OF
these ailments-or any other for that
matter.
Osteopathic methods are scoring
many successes in the cure of wo-
mans ills, beside eliminating much
that has made other forms of treat
ment distasteful to the patient.
