=Blindness.=--As a condition, without qualifying terms, blindness
offers a bad prognosis. Most cases fail to develop sight under
adjustments. Yet some individual cures in optic atrophy, in detached
retina, and in other conditions, attest the possibility. Cataract
blindness perhaps yields best.
=Bradycardia.=--If symptomatic, yields as does the disease. If primary,
a few adjustments are usually sufficient. In one case the first
adjustment increased to 90 a pulse which had been at 60 for fifteen
years. In twenty-four hours, without further adjustment, the rate had
settled at 69 and there remained.
=Bright’s Disease.=--Prognosis good, but some cases terminate abruptly
with intercurrent disease, such as pneumonia. There is danger until
the albuminuria has ceased and the strength of the patient markedly
improved. Probably the diseased kidney area is simply walled off from
the healthy tissue, which then hypertrophies and takes on the work of
the entire organ, or pair of organs. If too much damage has been done,
the case will terminate fatally in time, even though its progress is
checked by adjustments.
=Bronchitis.=--Acute bronchitis is quickly checked as a rule. Chronic
bronchitis may prove intractable, or may require many months for a
cure. There are exceptional quick cures of the most chronic cases.
=Caked Breast--Mammary Inflammations=.--Rapid and positive cure follows
proper adjustments.
=Cerebral Softening.=--Prognosis bad.
=Cerebrospinal Meningitis.=--Serious always, but no fatalities reported
in adjusted cases. Failure to modify fever and cervical retraction
within two or three hours, and with one to ten adjustments, is alarming.
=Chickenpox.=--Like smallpox and the other exanthemata, chickenpox
should be modified at once by adjustment and all cases should be light,
eruption hastened, and fever quickly broken. Sometimes the rash may be
strongly marked and the disease run its usual course in all particulars
except fever and prostration, being a febrile with absence of all the
consequences of fever.
=Cholangitis.=--Recovers quickly under adjustment.
=Cholecystitis.=--Prognosis excellent.
=Chorea.=--Prognosis excellent in acute and subacute cases, less
favorable in chronic. No figures are available, but many chronic cases
fail to respond at all.
=Cirrhosis of Liver.=--Doubtful. No statistics have been compiled, but
it seems probable that most cases are unmodified by adjustment.
=Congestion of Liver.=--Prognosis good.
=Conjunctivitis.=--Readily curable, unless part of a more general
infection.
=Constipation.=--Prognosis usually good, but some cases which have
paralyzed the intestines with drugs, or in which atony of the
intestinal muscles exists from any cause, are very stubborn. One is
led to believe that any case of chronic constipation would respond to
proper adjustments in time, but sometimes the time is prolonged more
than seems reasonable.
