CHROPRACTIC FOR NEUR-
AsTHENIA AND CHOREA

ASTHENIA AND CHOREA
Neurasthenia or nervous pros
tration is an inco- ordination of
the brain system. This so-called
American disease Is character
lied by various forms of bodily
and mental inefficiency.
Nervous prostration usually
begins with occipital headache
and mental depression, making
it hard to concentrate the mind.
This is accompanied with sleep
slessness and general ir1itability.
The patient may complain Of a
cranial construction or Of a pres
sure upon the vertex of the
head. Besides these symptoms
there is q feeling Of spinal weak
ness, and in some cases ringing
in the ears and dizziness, with
various cardiac and gastric neu-
roses. The most common cardiac
disturbance is hyperacidity of
the gastric juice. The eyes are
usually affected, there being as
tigmatisln, short sightedness or
far sightedness, and the sense Of
smell may be perverted. The re.
suit Of these inco ordinations is
generally bodily impairment.
Chiropractic certainly has
made q creditable showing with
tNeurasthenia sufferers. Many
who had given up all hope have
been restored to health after
taking Chiropractic adjust
ments.
Chcrea, which Is also known
as st. Vitus Dance, Is q chronic
inco ordination III which there
are irregular involuntary con-
fractions Of the muscles, with
excitability. Chorea Is an affec-
ton Of the motor function caus-
ed bY pressure upon the motor
nerves affecting the muscles in
which they are distributed.
When q monoplegia occurs it
is called paralytic chorea. A
great many cases Of chorea be-
gin In early life and is usually
most commonly found in girls,
but may be found In either sex
at my 90: In other cases the
attacks are ofi five or six weeks
duration, sometimes being re-
speated several times. During
these attacks, even though there
be no paralysis, the patient is
some times unable to feed him
self.
Habit Spasm y mild form Of CHOIR
al, In which there Is a sudden quick
contraction Of the muscles OF the face
neck OF shoulders, usually consisting OF
a drawing of the mouth to the side,
siirugging Of the shoulders or nodding
Of the head. The extenstveness Of
these peculiar moves gradually in
creases until the inco- ordination ID giv-
en- this name.
Neurasthenia and Chorea are both.
inco-ordinations Of the nervous sys-
tenn, and the primary cause Of each IL
the ttsubluxated vertebrae" producing
nerve pressure, interfering with Ma
lures laws.
81 II you are afflicted with either, and
you want to be well and strong, as you
surely dos 60 to competent Chiroprac-
tor and have your spine analysed. Then
take adjustments and get well. Once
the nerves are relieved Of pressure, Ma
ttire win do all that is necessary to re-
store the body to normal condition.
Nature talks in deeds The student
OF Nature has ears to hear. His intelli-
gence1is his organs Of sense to inter-
pref the silent voice. You plant corn
in one place and potatoes in another.
and you know that Nature will give
You corn and potatoes without revers-
ing the order. She is exact in what
she does. Plant potatoes and that is
what you get in return. II by the help
Of labors we can depend on Nature to
feed us, why can't we depend on her
70 keep us well thru natural ways? A
human being Is nothing more than a
plant in Natures garden. Humanity is
Natures harvest. Man himself is Ma
lures seed. II we can believe that she
win neglect plant life, then we can be-
lieve that she will neglect the life of
the body. It is fair to assume that IL
the body mechanism is in normal con-
dillon Nature will produce health thru
the body as the logical result of har.
mony between the physical and the i'm
material of living things.
Chiropractic Adjustments allow Ma.
ture the chance to perform It's func-
tions in . normal way.
