Prevention of paralysis is very easy, for with a clean colon it is an
impossibility, and the remedy is too plainly indicated to need pointing
out. You have but to remove the cause--the accumulation in the colon.
Massage is a most valuable part of the treatment. To prevent the muscles
from stiffening, and to retain the suppleness of the affected parts,
frequent rubbings are necessary, and the mind should be stimulated to
resume its control over the refractory muscles. During an attack it is
necessary to pay particular attention to diet--easily digested,
nonconstipating food only. You may have to revert to a spoon diet for
awhile--and, as the liability to a second attack is great during the
period of recovery, special attention must be given to diet to guard
against it.
When power begins to return to the affected parts, a system of graduated
exercises should be arranged, gradually increasing in force with the
return of strength and normal control. These exercises will gradually
educate the mind and restore its harmonious working with the body.
EPILEPSY, OR FALLING SICKNESS,
Is distinguished from apoplexy, or paralysis, by the convulsive action
and foaming at the mouth. One prime cause of this most distressing
complaint is the action of worms in the colon. In a number of cases
treated by us, knots of worms were expelled, and the exciting cause
being removed, complete recovery followed. The preventive treatment is
simple. Use the “Cascade” and our antiseptic tonic until the worms are
entirely expelled. During a fit loosen the clothing at the throat and
place something in the mouth, a cork, for instance, to prevent the
patient from biting his tongue. Some fine salt thrust into the mouth
will shorten the duration of the fit.
Another prolific cause is masturbation, in which case nothing but the
abandonment of the habit and a cleanly life, both physically and
morally, will effect a cure.
GONORRHEA.
This is a contagious disease, and its victims usually become the prey of
unprincipled charlatans, who drive the disease inward by suppressing the
symptoms. It affects the male much more seriously than the female. It
commences with a slight uneasy sensation at the mouth of the urethra,
between the second and seventh day after exposure to infection. The
natural discharge of mucus is increased, and is more viscid, followed by
acute inflammation. The discharge becomes thick and greenish and
urination is painful. Swelling of the glands in the groin is common,
called a bubo. Orchitis or swelling of the testicle is also a frequent
accompaniment. Under the best of treatment it will require from four to
six weeks to effect a cure, but if neglected it may mean months.
