REAR BEEFSTEAK FOR MALARIA
Osteopath Recommends Brand New
Theory.

osteopaths in the United States, has
this week given out to the public a
cure and preventive for malaria
which bids fair to win him fame ali
over this and other countries.
DR.. Armstrong; cure and preven-
tive for this disease, which is SO prev
alent in eastern North Carolina and
other parts of the United States, is
simple; it is not drug, and it re-
uuires no painstaking methods for
one to get it into his system, being
merely dose of rare beefsteak once
q day several times week.
: DR.. Armstrong some years ago dis
covered that rare beefsteak was
better cure and preventive for mala-
ria than was the much used quinine.
He began experimenting with it.
Taking the worst case of malaria
that he could find, he advised the
patient to partake of portions of rare

and to watch the result. In each and
every case that this was done the
patients recovered, all signs of mala-
ria left them and as long as they ate
this rare steak at intervals, the dis
ease did not reoccur.
Months ago the doctor gave to the
members of the American Osteopath'
ic society his wonderful discovery.
Hundreds of the members have tried
it out, found it to be success. and
DR.. Armstrong has received scores
OF letters praising his discovery.
s So highly did this society prize this
discovery that they have asked DIR.
Armstrong to M axe at address on the
subject at the goth annual meeting
of the society to be held in Kansas
! City, Mo-, during the coming August.
ss DR.. Armstrong has written for the
Journal of the American Osteopathic
Society the following interesting &C
count of the discovery of the rare
beefsteak cure and his method OF
treating cases of malaria:
The Disease.
Defnition-Accordin to Web
ster: Malaria is disease caused by
the entrance of an animal parasite
into the blood and it's development
! within the red blood corpuscle. This
parasite was first studied by Luvaran,
and belongs to the class of sporozoa.
1T was not until the work Of Grassi,
Ross and Nutall that we were en-
Nghtened as to the source of this in
vader. It is at present well estab-
lished that the malarial parasite runs
its sexual cycle (sporsgone) within
the body of the anopheles mosquito
(anopheles mosculipennis). The old
idea that malaria was an air-borne
disease, the contagion arising from
stagnant pools in swampy regions,
must now be replaced by the mos
quito theory.
It may be possible that sometimes
malaria is contracted from drinking
stagnant water; also from certain
springs. I have in mind a spring by
drinking water from which I believe
malaria is contracted by some.
In all cases of suspected malaria
4 first make miscropic examinations
OF the blood, to be sure that malaria
is present and to ascertain the
amount of Infection and the variety.
Il very seldom have to resort to stain
ing methods to make the diagnosis,
since i have become familiar with
the parasites as they show in fresh
blood. If it is necessary to stain the
speciment I use Knights stain.
have had every type of malaria under
my observation and treatment. For
the past II years have lived in one
Of the worst malaria sections Of the
country; in one of the few sections
where the black water of hemorrhage
type is met with so frequently.
lowing to the different types and
severity of many cases it is almost
impossible to take up each case sep
arately, as the intent of this paper is
to make as plain as possible the gen.
eral pathological findings and the
general treatment for malaria, as all
malaria, of whatever type, produces
destruction of the red blood cells
and causes a pronounced anemia. In
my experience with malaria, outside
of the general symptoms Of enlarge
ment of the spleen and liver with Diff
ferent curves caused by the number
of infections, they are all amenable
to practically the same treatment.
There are three distinct species
of the parasite, causing three distinct
types of malaria. First, the quartan;
second, the tertian, and, third, the
