CHIROPRACTIC FOR
APPENDICITIS

Appendicitis is an infamma-
ton of the vermiform appendix
involving the surrounding peri
toneum, attended by fever, pain
and localized tenderness at what
is known as McBurney's Point.
This inflammation consists of
three types-simple, Lucrative
and interstitial.
Chronic appendicitis may have
the same pathological conditions
as the simple form, but the pain
is usually not so great.
Simple appendicitis begins
with swelling of the mucous
membrane lining of the vermi-
form appendix, which results
from infiltration Of serum into
the adjoining cellular tissues.
The Serious surface becomes con-
gested and dry and severe pain
is caused by the two infamed
layers coming in contact with
each other, thus producing fric-
ton.
Lucrative appendicitis begins
in much the same manner, eX-
cept that small ulcers form upon
the mucous membrane which
lines the appendix. In some cas-
es it effects the submucous and
muscular layers and sometimes
perforates the wall Of the organ,
the pus being discharged into
the intestine or the abdominal
cavity.
Interstitial appendicitis may
have symptoms as in the other
forms and in many cases there is
necrosis or gangrene, which US
ually results with peIforation.
The appendix is enlarged and
can be palpated when the pain is
not too severe.
Appendicitis usually begins
with abdominal discomfort and a
dull aching pain in the right
side, which increases until res
piration, movement or coughing
makes the pain uncomfortable.
Sometimes it is accompanied
with fever and a temperature
which varies from 1O1 to 104 de-
grees, with costiveness or occa-
sionally with diarrhoea, poor ap-
petite or none at all, and a coated
tongue.
In the chronic form there is
usually constipation and tender
ness in the region of the appen-
dix. which can be felt upon firm
palpation. In this form the pain
is milder: in the acute form it is
more intense.
A great many people believe
that Chiropractic Spinal Adjust
ments are good for a few all
ments but do not think it of val
ue for their particular allnent.
It's well known fact that all
parts of the body are controlled by the
Nervous System This Nature intend
ed. But should there be mechanical In
reference in one or more regions OF the
spine they are bound to produce nerve
pressure resulting in certain functions
being abnornally expressed, and PAIN,
sickness or disease will be the result.
A Chiropractor locates the mechanical
interference or subluxaton and with
his bare hands adjusts It toward tts
normal position, knowing that when
the tmpinged nerve Is released Nature
will restore the diseased or abnormal
condition to normal. He reasons from
cause to effect and vice versa, and also
uses method Of nerve tracing in many
cases to determine whether or not
certain yertebra is causing q certain
trouble.
Cniropraotic is not a htt-or-rniss sci
ence. but is founded on facts and actual
results obtained. Bear In mind that II
your spine Is In normal alignment you
can not and will not have a diseased or
inf1amed appendix. A perfect spine
means perfect health
Nature gave us an appendix to per-
from a useful and necessary function.
Keep 1t healthy by keeping your spine
free and unimpinged nerves and one
hundred per cent resistance.
One hundred per cent resistance IN
every part OF the body means perfect
health. II you do not possess this.
think it over. Men and women in ev-
erv WALK ~ life heartily indorse CFhjro
practic Spinal Adjustments.
