thor of several valuable works, says:
There are many functional Neu-
roses of the heart such as palpita-
ton, arrythmia and tachycardia,
which owe their origin TO insufficiency
of the vagus nerve, and in conse-
E, quence OF such incompetency, the
mastery of the organ is assumed by
the sympathetic nervous system.
Now we know the action of the
vagus (nerves) can be rehexly con-
troled by the manipulations already
cited; and in this action. acceleration
and irregularity of the heart can be
mastered. Analysis of the fore
going manipulation show that what
the patient did was to call into action
the functions of the vaeus nerve
This only confirms our own state
nrents, as to the power of the nerves
over the organs of the body. The
same rules apply to the liver, the
stomach. the intestines. the several or
gans and all other parts of the body.
A recent writer says he has asked
many osteopaths what 1t was that

and they could give no intelligent an

that he discovered it was necessary to
have a perfect skeIetal adjustment in
order to be healthy; and he discovered
that Inhibition of nerve had the OPP

or nerve center. Inhibition is like
setting a brake on a wagon. 1t re-

nerve, while stimulation Is just the
opposite. A steady pressure on a nerve

an old medical doctor. but he found

Fatal Pneumonia
That disease which kills so many
and sends so many more In consump-
tior is easily cured by modern oste,,-
pathy" Pneumonia Is simply conGes-
ton of the lungs. They f1fl up more
and more, TIL there is no room for
air, and you cease to breathe and die.
Now we ask, how any Incidence IL go
ing to reach that lung except through
tho blood, and as the lung Is already
full, and stays full, how can any
fresh 11fsdioated blood get to the spot
that IL sick. 1t just can't do it. Well
what can we do, you ask. Wen We
were called once to treat Mrs. J. w.
Baker and she was nearly gone. Her
lungs were so fully congested she
could only whisper The power was
all gone We gave her the osteopath-
10 treatment and THAI was help and
we turned In a current Of electricity
from our little battery and that
helped to remove the congestion and
free the circulation. Then we turned
ltih thevtbrator. which virtually shakes
out the tumulation from the lungs
and opens up the cells SO you can
breathe again; and so in an hour or
less we had Mrs Baker so she could
talk with q. fairly good voice. We
stimulated the nerve forces. which
cave more power We freed the cir-
lcst.atlon so. the, fresh blood could como

that there is mo other method 50
prompt and safe and sure as this
method for treating pneumonia, and
1t is equally potent and sure In
pleurisy.
1t is said that inflammation can't live
under ice, and we say congestion cant
live under the influence ofS vibration
and electricity.
"Cerebro spinal miningitis" is an

is fearful to Contemplate how many
die from this disease; and yet II is
easy to cure under our methods. Also
in femase diseases we cure ladies by

and save them MONEY. We have
