Scanty and highly colored urine, which has a tendency to scale and
irritate the skin, usually indicates highly acid urine. In this
case a careful analysis must be made to determine the cause of the
acidity. The palpation will reveal a subluxation and most likely a
hot box at C.P. and K.P. In many cases the child will be anemic, and
in a general rundown condition; in this case the combination will be
S.P. and K.P.; the combination may also include a lumbar.
In the cases involving the bladder, the major will be a lumbar
vertebra. The combination will be determined by the local condition,
which may necessitate the use of K.P. When there is an irritation of
the genital organs or adjacent structures, the major will include
a lower lumbar vertebra and may or may not require a K.P., the
combination depending upon the character of the local condition.
From the foregoing it will be observed that the major for nocturnal
enuresis varies, depending upon the condition to which it is
adaptative. The major may include At., Ax., C.P., K.P., lumbar, or
any combination of these or other subluxations. When the impingements
are found, and the causative subluxations adjusted, complete results
will be obtained—in every case.
OPHTHALMIA
This is an incoördination characterized by inflammation of the
conjunctiva. It is also called purulent conjunctivitis. Medically
these cases are supposed to be produced by gonorrhea, although in
many of the milder forms the gonococcus is not present. This is
evidence that the cause is not the gonococcus but that the germs,
when present, are there because of the pathological condition of the
tissues.
Symptoms
The eyelids are swollen, there is a copious, purulent discharge, and
there may be ulceration of the eyelids.
Major Adjustment
The major for this condition is a combination major which includes
a middle or upper cervical for the location and kidney place for
elimination.
TETANUS IN INFANTS
This is a condition which is occasionally found in young infants
and is the result of an infection usually of the umbilical wound.
It is most prevalent where conditions are unsanitary. Tetanus is
characterized by a tonic spasm of the muscles. It may affect all the
muscles of the body or it may be limited to the muscles of the jaw,
producing what is known as trismus or lockjaw.
