headaches persisted. So the diagnosis set
tied down into pain habit.
The afternoon Dr. FitzGerald first saw
this patient she was almost in hysteria,
her pain was so acute For when tele-
phoning for her appointment she had been
told not to take any opiates, as they
might "mask the symptoms" and con-
fuse the diagnosis.
Without stopping to question her, DIR.
FitzGerald washed his hands in an anti
septic solution, placed the tips of the first
and second fingers of his right hand close
against the roots of her front teeth, held
her head rigidly with the left hand, and
pressed firmly for two minutes. He then
moved his finger-tips an inch farther back
on the hard palate, and repeated the
pressure for another two minutes.
As result, for the first time in three
years, except when under the influence
of an opiate, this woman was absolutely
free from pain.
DR.. FitzGerald instructed her husband,
who accompanied her, just where to make
the proper pressures when the pain re-
turned. and within week had report
from him that there were now no further
dlldChS vi VIC HSduuCLcSs Ills
relief has persisted for more than year.
Headaches frequently respond to pres
sure exerted over the joints on the thumb
or fingers. Here is case, reported by
DR.. George Starr White of Los Angeles:
A woman suffered from a very severe
headache on the top of her head, which
had persisted for more than three weeks.
She had consulted several doctors, with
only temporary relief.
DR.. FITZGERALD told her nothing of what
was contemplated, but took hold of her
hands and began firmly pressing on the
first, second, and third fingers of each
hand, at the same time engaging her in
conversation concerning her condition.
After about three minutes he asked her
if she would locate with her hand just
where the pain was. She hesitated, looked
up, and asked, do you use mental
therapy?' Then. after blinking perplex-
eddy for half minute, she added: For
the first time in three weeks, except when
I've been under the influence of narcotics,
the pain is entirely gone"
DR.. FITZGERALD told her to have some
one repeat these finger pressures, at the
same time emphasizing that if she failed
to get relief from this method to come
back. He has not seen her since.
But the same condition in the same
patient may not be cleared up from the
same point every time. For instance, if
the pain is in the second zone of the fore
head, at one time we may stop it by
attacking the forefinger. The next
time, however, pressure upon that finger
might not have the slightest effect, and
we would have to go to the tongue or the
roof of the mouth to get results. Another
time we might be successful only from
the nose-or by pressing the teeth of
an aluminium comb on the skull, above

TIME next time you have headache,
instead of attempting to paralyze the

TIME next time you have a headache,
instead of attempting to paralyze the
nerves of sensation with an opiate
or coal-tar "pain-deadener," push the
headache out through the top of the
head. It's surprisingly easy.
1t merely requires that you press your
thumb-or, better still, some smooth
broad metal surface like the end of
the mouth (the hard palate), as nearly as
possible under the ache, and hold it there
for from three to five minutes by the
watch. 1t may be necessary, if the ache
is extensive, to shift the position of the
thumb or metal "applicator' so as to
"cover" completely the area that aches.
Headaches and neuralgias of purely
nervous origin-that is, not due to poison
in the system, or alcoholism, tumors, eye
strain, or some specific organic cause
usually subside under this pressure within
few minutes.
Many patients cure their own or their
friends and relatives headaches or neu-
ralgic attacks in this manner. In their
own headaches they use the thumb. In
treating others, they use the first and
second fingers, pressing firmly under the
seat of pain.
The points of attack may extend from
the roots of the front teeth for a frontal
headache) to the junction of the hard and
soft palate (for pain in the back of the
head Or from the roots of the right
upper molars to those of the upper left
molars, if the pain be in the region of the
temples or the side of the head. 80
t., lna hos tod kx,I al
tons, relief can almost invariably be Sc
cured. DR.. Thomas Ryan of New York
and others familiar with zone therapy
(the science of relieving pain and curing
disease by pressure in the various "zones"
affected by pain or disease) almost uni
formly cure headaches or neuralgias in
their patients in this manner.
In medical practice the results are even
more miraculous.
Stopping Three Year-Old
Headache
ONE of the worst cases treated by
zone therapy was that of a lady who
had suffered from persistent headache for
more than three years. She had been to
prominent nerve specialists in the East,
and also consulted several European ex-
perts. Her heart was in a very dangerous
condition, owing to the amount of anti
pyrin and other headache powders she
had taken.
Her pain was located most generally in
the forehead, and in the height of the at
tacks extended to the top of the head.
1t was not relieved by sleep-indeed, it
was worse, if anything, after such poor
and inadequatesleep as shewas able to get.
This fact eliminated eye-strain as a cause.
Every organ in the body had received
thorough overhauling, and still the

The Method of Zone Therapy

The Method of Zone Therapy
THE body, as pointed out in my first
article on zone therapy, is divided into
ten zones, five on either side of the median
line. These zone divisions divide the
head, the tongue, the palate, the trunk,
the arms, and the legs, and terminate in
the fingers and toes. DIR. FitzGerald has
discovered that pressure on any part of
one of these zones creates nervous reac-
ton that tends to relieve pain and many
disease processes in any other part of the
same zone.
For instance, if your headache is
over the right ear, you may obtain relief
by exerting pressure-with rubber bands,
or with the teeth of an aluminium comb
on the little finger and the ring finger of
the right hand. Or if it is directly on
the top of the head, the metal handle of a
table knife pressed firmly on the center of
the hard palate, and held for three or four
minutes, will generally 1cure" the ache.
= 1t should be borne in mindsthat, if the
pressures are made on the roof of the
mouth, the closer they come to the seat
of disturbance the quicker the trouble will
subside. In other words, press as nearly
as possible directly under the ache center.
Remember also that if the fingers are
attacked for the purpose of relieving
headache or neuralgia, they must be the
appropriate or proper zone fingers-on
the side in which the pain is located. And
also-f pressures are made over the
Joints, these pressures must be made on
the front or on the sides--accOrdinp as To
whether the headache he located in the
front or back or on the sides of the head.
1t is absolutely necessary to keep these
facts in mind if success with zone therapy
is to be secured.

or below the seat of pain-and so on.
The next time you have headache,
give zone therapy chance. Remember
the fundamentals of the theory as indi-
Gated in the chart.

MRS. N. A. WAITMORE
HAS SOLD MCCLURE
HOTEL BUSINESS

Mrs. NJ. A. Whitmore has sold hel
Mcclure hotel business to Mr.. and
Mrs. Ross Johnson of Dodge City.
Kansas, who will probably take
charge sometime this week.
In just about year Mrs. Whitmore
las made a big business success of
what was formerly a financial uncer-
tainty Hotel folks with big reputa-
tions and much experience had come
and gone, some of them having failed
and others with only an Indifferent
success.
Mrs. Whitmore took over this charm
ing little hotel when it was losing
money. In short year. by her affa-
bility, courtesy and strict attention to
proper hotel management, she has
placed it on a paying basis with every
room filled every night and people
being sent elsewhere. Mrs. Whitmore
had the business sagacity to know
what was needed and she made good.
The many warm friends she has made
while here regret that she is to
leave Canon City.
Mrs. NJ. NJ. Walker who has the
dining room at the Mcclure House
and who has also built up nice
patronage, will retain her portion of
the business for the time being.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johnson come here
highly recommended and no doubt
will continue the successful manage
ment of the house.

PROSPECTORS COURSE
AT SCHOOL OF MINES

Announcement has just been made
by Howard c. Parmelee, president
of the Colorado State School of
Mines at Golden, of the third annual
course of study for mining prospec-
tors. which will open at that institu-
tion on February 5th. and be con-
tinued until March 3rd. The Pros
pectors' course was inaugurated at
Golden in 1913, for the purpose of en-
abling mining prospectors to do
their work more intelfigently. and,
therefore, with less waste of time
and money. The course was well re-
ceived from the start by large num-
ber of students, both old and young.
and there is every reason to believe
that it has been of considerable value
to those who availed themselves of it.
1t is thru the medium of this course
that the School of Mines at Golden
hopes to serve the mining industry
of Colorado by meeting the demand
for better equipped and more thoro
prospectors. Fremont county people
desiring to better acquaint themselv-
es with this special course of study
can do SO by procuring the school
of mines bulletins on the subject,
which may be had on application to
President Parmelee.

Bodily Housekeeping
(BY SAMUEL HAMILTON. n. d.

The subject Of drinking water with
meals has been misunderstood.
In recent years investigation by means
Of X-rays, the observations Of scientists
such as Cannon, Grutzner, Pavlov. Fow-
Ter. Hawk, prove that an abundance of
water taken during digestion is neces-
sary In good bodily housekeeping. Drink
plenty Of water with each meal, Do not
drink ice-water at any time.
II your kidneys are sick, or you suffer
with lumbago or rheumatism at times,
pain In the back or back of the neck, take
n little Anuric before meals. This can
be found at any good drug store. There
fore my advice to young or old Is, always
drink plenty Of pure water. And for long
life, occasionally take tablets OF Anuric
three or four times day.
It is simply wonderful how quickly
A1uric acts-much more potent than
lithia. You will find 1t dissolves uric
acid as water does sugar.
