=Tabes Dorsalis.=--Posterior spinal sclerosis, commonly called from
its chief symptom “locomotor ataxia,” recovers in 40 to 50 per cent
of cases adjusted. No accurate pre-judgment can be formed as to the
probabilities in any particular case without experiment, nor has any
adequate explanation been offered as to why some cases recover and
others do not. Those cases which improve at all are likely to recover
fully. In any instance, time is required for the regeneration of the
dorsal column axons, and while this is going on no improvement may be
apparent at all.
=Tachycardia.=--If symptomatic, as of exophthalmic goitre, tachycardia
yields as the disease does. If primary, a few adjustments usually
establish a proper pulse rate.
=Tetanus.=--Only one undoubted case has been brought to the writer’s
attention and this one a marvellous cure. Adjustments were given as
often as every ten minutes for a time.
=Thoracic Aneurism.=--Cure exceedingly doubtful, and fatal termination
possible at any time. Little information is at hand.
=Tonsilitis--Quinsy=.--Simple or follicular tonsilitis aborts under
adjustment in from a few hours to two or three days. Quinsy, or
suppurative tonsilitis, runs its regular course as to duration, but is
frequently a febrile after the first day. Spontaneous rupture of the
tonsil will usually occur and sometimes two or three such ruptures
will lengthen the case slightly. Sequalae are wanting, but all forms of
tonsilar inflammation tend to recur unless a long course of corrective
adjustments is applied to the cervical region.
=Torticollis.=--Acute spastic or rheumatic torticollis in which
permanent contractures have not yet set in may be cured almost
invariably in a period varying from a few days to several weeks.
Chronic cases with permanent contractures yield very slowly, but
prognosis is good for a fairly accurate straightening of the neck. Such
cases often leave slight abnormalities even in the most competent hands.
=Tuberculosis, Pulmonary.=--See Pulmonary Tuberculosis.
=Tumors, Benign.=--Unlike malignant growths, benign tumors, fatty,
fibroid, etc., tend to gradual absorption under adjustment. Perhaps 75
per cent or more may be completely cured. Age is a factor, tumors in
young subjects being more readily curable than in the aged or infirm.
=Tumors, Malignant.=--Prognosis bad. If cancer in any form can be cured
proof has escaped the author’s diligent search. It is wisest to refuse
all cancerous cases.
=Typhoid Fever.=--Prognosis excellent if adjustments are commenced
during first week of fever, in which case the fever should be aborted
at once, followed by one or two mild exacerbations, then permanently
checked. Doubtful prognosis after first week, because of liability to
perforation during adjustment. After second week of fever very grave
prognosis under adjustment, and better with nursing alone.
