The method of application is as follows: A small quantity is placed in a
glass douche (especially manufactured for the purpose) and inhaled,
allowing the fluid to pass up the nostrils and into the throat, using
the nostrils alternately.
There is no case of catarrh so obstinate but will readily yield to this
treatment. But as a preventive of all this keep the colon clean and pay
attention to lung development.
ERYSIPELAS.
This disease arises from impure blood. A peculiar poison is generated,
which declares itself in the form of a red, puffy swelling, closely
resembling a blister, and very much like it to the touch. If the finger
is pressed upon the inflamed part, it will leave a white spot there for
an instant. It most usually attacks the face and head. In the majority
of cases it arises from an obstructed colon, a fermentation being
generated there from the long retained fæcal matter, consequently a
positive and sure cure is to thoroughly cleanse that organ. As a local
application take loppered sour milk and apply it to the inflamed parts,
or, if not this, the next best thing is hop yeast mixed with charcoal to
the thickness desired. The lactic acid in sour milk is a direct antidote
to the poison of erysipelas.
DYSPEPSIA.
This disease does not come by chance. Infection or contagion can never
be held responsible for it. It is the penalty which Nature inflicts upon
you for violating physiological laws. Do not be deluded by extravagantly
worded advertisements into the belief that any nostrum has been or ever
will be invented that can possibly effect an immediate cure. You must
entirely abandon the habits that induced it. You must masticate your
food thoroughly--allowing the saliva to mix with it, not bolt it, and
then wash it down with copious draughts of tea, coffee or water. This
superabundance of fluid only serves to distend the stomach and impede
digestion. A change of diet is necessary, but not so essential as a
change in the habit of eating. Dyspepsia is more or less catarrh of the
stomach. Its lining becomes coated with a slimy mucus that arrests the
action of the glands, coats the food and prevents the gastric juice from
acting upon it.
