Osteopathic medicine
"Scarlet fever begins with a short period of tired feeling. A short
period of chilly sensation, fullness of eyes and sore throat. In a few
hours fever begins with great heat of back of head. It soon extends all
over the body, sick stomach and vomiting generally accompany the
disease. Rash of a red color beginning on back, and extends to throat
and limbs. About the second or third day, the fever is very high, from
100° to 104° and generally lasts to fifth and seventh day, at which time
fever begins to diminish, with itching over the body. The skin at this
time throws off all of the dead scales that had been red rash in the
fore-part of the disease. Often the lining membranes of the mouth,
throat and tonsils slough and bleed. Also pus is often formed just under
the skin in front of the throat. Such cases usually die.[7]
ALLOPATHY."
[Footnote 7: Very true, if treated by the medicine man.]
SCARLET FEVER AS DEFINED BY OSTEOPATHY.
Is a disease generally of the early spring and late fall seasons.
Generally comes with cold and damp weathers during east winds. It begins
with sore throat, chilly and tired feelings, followed with headache and
vomiting. In a few hours chilly feeling leaves and fever sets in very
high, burns your hands. The patient is rounded in chest, abdomen, face
and limbs by congestion of the fascia and all of the lymphatic glands.
This stagnation will soon begin its work of fermentation of the fluids
of fascia, then you see the rash. If you do not want to see the rash and
sloughing of throat, with a dead patient, I would advise you to train
your guns on the blood, nerves, and lymphatics of the fascia and stop
the cause at once, or quit.
OSTEOPATHY.
SMALLPOX.
If we give a thought to the action of the electro-motor force, we would
be constrained to believe that a power that could drive gas through a
body of great density, would be much less than one that could force
lymph through the same density. The same of albumen.
POWER TO DRIVE GREATER THAN IN MEASLES.
