! enervate. they must pass through the
lconges:ed tissues of the back. which in
crease their congestion.
! Thus. during the formative period.
while the patient is feeling indisposed
I from the effect of the cold. the nerves
convey to the lungs and to all the
other internal organs. which receive
their nerve supply from that part of
the spine. the same congested condition
that exists in the back
! The fact that the lungs act as a
strainer. through which the impurities
are removed from the blood. is the
reason why the congestion al that point
makes such serious trouble.
! The delicate membrane Of the lungs
/ in this way become inflamed and thick
ened. which makes the tissue dense. as
it were. so that oxygen from the air
passes with difficulty through it. and
the air spaces. and thus leave the body,
are, to a great extent. prevented from
doing so.
| 1t is thus that field is prepared for
the aforesaid micro-organism. so be
can get in his work, for in hearty It's
sues he can do no harm.
! Thus we have briefly described the
primary causes of pneumonia. which
DR.. Osier admits must exist before the
| specific pneumonia germ can establish
himself though he failed to give US
a description Of it.
The Osteopathic physician knowing
| the cause of pneumonia. is able in
nearly 100 per cent of his cases, to pre-
! he can have the case in time. for lie at
once proceeds to thoroughly work out
the tissue of the body. by which means
| he is enabled to reestablish the circu-
| Ia tion.i The cold is thus thrown off
without so seriously involving the lung
tissue.
Even after the lungs have become
much cOngested ard all the symptoms
of pneumonia Well defined he is able to
give relief in a large majority OF cases.
for in surprisingly short time the dry
harsh cough becomes soft and moist.
the breathing less frequent; the tenn
perature lower: the pulse rate decreas-
es and almost before you are aware
of it. the patient is resting comfortably
and is on the road to recovery.
We do not say that none die under
Osteopa thic treatment. but we do say
that the percentage of fatalities is much
less than when treated with drugs.
Instances can be cited where one
Osteopathic physician handled forty
eases and every one of them made an
excellent recovery.
1t also has happened many times,
that cases which other physicians have
given up have been saved by these
methods.
We do not expect all who are suf-
fer:ng from this difficulty to fairly
tumble over each other in their efforts
to try this new method. but some of
you will divorce yourselves from the
old dangerous system. which in its
abundant opportunities has demon
strated is utter worthlessness. even to
the satisfaction Of it's most able sup
porters. and you will try this new
method. which at the worst can not do
less for you than the other system.
which admits it's helplessness in this
, class of cases.
1t will add no poisons to intensity
/ the trouble and paralyze nature in her
efforts TO save you: but will. instead.
be almost sure to prove itself master of
| the situation. and restore you to health.
what is written. nor power superna-
ftural or mysterious. by means of which
! to accomplish this work. but we have
discovered the truth Of the matter. and
truth is mighty. even to the pulling
! down Of the strongholds of this much
dreaded disease.
!. To you who feel disposed to try the
merits of this new system we will say.
don't allow the disease to get the pa
tient ready for the undertaken before
we are called. for the fact is that the
prospects of successful issue OF the
case Is better IL taken eaTi!.
We realize that this has been a long:
tedious article. but after all it is trea-
.ise so brief that the subjects con-
tsidered are only touched here and there.
We hope. however. that some light
has been thrown upon this most i'm
portant subject.

express our thanks for your fOrbear-
ance.
