F I RST . We have to keep the frame ( the ske leton )i n perfect condition .

SECOND . We have to keep the te l egraph wi res

(the nerve s ) t ightened and the kinks out of them .

TH I RD . We have to keep the steam pipes (the

blood vesse ls ) cl ear , so heat . and action wi l l get to al lparts of the body .

FOURTH . We have to keep the sewers (the kidneysJ in proper condit ion for san itary purposes .

In the treatment of man w e have to take in to cons ideration the Spinal co lumn , which is composed of24 vertebraes , divided as fol lowThe first seven compos ing the neck are cal led the

C ervical Ve rtebraes .

The next twelve to which the ribs are joined ,are

cal led the Dorsal Vertebraes,or back .

The next five be low the r ibs are cal led the LumbarVertebraes , or lo ins .

We find extended along th is Spinal co lumn andconnected with the Spinal cord

,th i rty—one pai r of nerves

that reach out over the different parts of the bodyThe spinal nerves are div ided as fol lows

8 pai r of C ervical .12 Dorsal .5 Lumbar .

5 Sacral .1 C occygeal .

They also form four grand centers along the Spine ,

where they connect with the Spinal cord . These cente rs are known as p lexuses

,and are named the C er

vical,Brach ial

,Lumbar and Sacral .

FIRST . The C ervical p lexus is found on each s ideof the neck .

SECOND . The brach ial p lexus is formed by the

four lower cervica l and the uppe r dorsa l nerves ,w h ich

run to the arms , ches t , lungs and diaphragm . Thisp lexus is s ituated a long the Spinal column and betweenthe upper parts of the shoulders .

TH I RD . The Lumbar p lexus is located in the loins,

and cons ists of five pairs of nerves , the first four lum ~

bar nerves , and a branch of the last dorsal n erve . The

largest and longest nerve in th i s p lexus i s the femoralor th igh nerve .

FOURTH . The Sacral p lexus is made up of the fou rupper sacral nerves , and the last lumbar nerve . The

largest nerve in the body has its origin in th is p lexus ,it i s known as the sciatic nerve , and extends from th i sp lexus to the foot .Now we come to the sympatheti c ne rvous system .

it , l i ke the cerebro-S pinal , i s double , cons i sti ng of tw o

chai ns of ganglia one on each S ide of the Spinal co lumn ,

runn ing its fu l l l ength from the head to the pe lvis ,starting in the back of the neck and runn ing throughthe deep part into the chest and abdomen . Theseganglions communicate with each other , with the Spinalcord , and with the interna l organs , as the heart , lungs ,l iver

,stomach ,

‘ pancreas , i ntesti nes,and kidneys .

These gangl ia are divided into groups as fol lows :F I RST . The three pai r along the neck are cal l ed

Each of these gangl ia give off nerves , some of

OSTEOPRAC T IC M ETHOD . 9

which un ite with the sp inal cord,the others form ingthree

given points or nerve cente rs,known as the C ard iac

,

Solar and Hypogastr i c p lexuses . A pecul iar ity of thesympatheti c nerves

,is

,that they fol low the b lood ves

up each organ .

F I RST . The C ardiac p lexus,is S ituated just above

the heart,nerves from th is p lexus go to the lungs and

,at the back of the

lower part of the stomach,nerves from it reach the

stomach,l iver

,pancreas

,Sp leen and kidneys .

TH I RD . The Hypogastr i c p l exus,from the m iddl e

of the lo ins to the lower part of the abdom inal cavity,

nerves from it run to al l the organs in the lower halfof the abdomen .

I ntention,is an act of the mind

,each act of the

mind starts a vibration in the brain and is transmittedthroughout the system by the te l egraph wi res ( thenerves) to the point where the mind d i rects , therebybu i ld ing up that part of the body in proportion to theamount of healthy thoughts d i rected the re . The gangl ia are the way-stations along the l in e for generatingincreased power or nerve force from the plexusesor distr ibuting centers .

The brain ,gangl ia

,and nerve centers , are connected

with each other,and with al l parts of the body , making

a most complete system for rece iv ing and sendingvibrations .

The mind as the Operator pres ides at the head office ,or brain

,di rectin g

,guid ing

,and contro l l i ng every secre

tion,function and act of the body . lt is the seat of

pe rception,and sensation on ly exists when an impres

IO O STEOPRAC T IC M ETHOD .

diseased condit ions Of the body,structural or func

tional,without the aid Of kn ife or drugs

,i s main

tained by the best read men,Of the present age .

F I RST . By Man ipulations I or O steopathy ; we use

the arms and legs as levers,stretch ing al l muscles and

nerves to wh ich they are attached,also move the flesh

and muscles the enti re length Of the l imb stretchingand soften ing them

,thus p e1m itting a free flow of blood

and nerve force the fu l l length Of the l imb ,which wi l l

bu i ld up healthy blood corp t scieS i n the diseased parts .

One thorough tIeatment Of an 1m or leg wi l l Oftenre l ieve an acute case Of any nature i n the extremities ,and a very few t reatments

,given one each day

,wi l l

cure any acute case .

C hron ic cases can usuaIly b e cu redi n from two toS ix weeks

,by giving one treatment eve day or every

other day,as the case may demand

,even after al l other

methods have fai led .

SECOND . By Man ipu lations w e move and softenthe muscles and nerves on each Side Of the Spinal column its fu l l l ength . As the Spine be i ng the greatnerve center Of the body controls the different organsand muscles Of the body through that nerve center .SO i t must be understood that there should be no contracted condit ion Of the muscles along th is great nervecenter . AS contraction means the cutt ing -

Off Of partOf the nerve force

,caus ing partial or complete paralyS Is ,

unti l by man ipu lation Of the muscles at fau lt i t is re

laxed, thus turn ing on the electri c current to the grand

central (the brain ) and the mach ine once more movesforward .

TH I RD . If w e use the head as a lever to stretchand move al l the muscles Of the neck

,thereby free i ng

the ci rculation to the head,an Obstruction Ofwhich w e

find i s the true cause of catarrh,deafness , roar ing in

the head,dizz iness

,most headaches

,and in fact al

O STEOPRAC T IC M ETHOD .

most al l d i seases Of the head,many acute cases can

be cured at once,whi l e ch ron ic cases take a longer

course of treatment .FOURTH . By p lacing the knee just be low the l ast

r ib in the back and bending the pati ent S lowly butstrongly backward over it , wi l l cure any case Of l ooseness Of the bowels

,from common diarrhoea to b loody

fl ux,and a continuation Of th is treatment wi l l cu re anv

case Of chron i c diarrhoea .

F IFTH . The Vaso-motor nerve cente r at the baseof the brain can be reached by press i ng on the backOf the neck Over the upper cervi cal bone and press ingthe head back at the same time . A pressure at th i spoint from three to five minutes wi l l S low up the actionOf the heart , enabling us to cure any c urable fever i none—half the time

,that the same work can be done

with drugs .

S IXTH . In al l cases where the general systemseems to be affected give general t reatment

,thus free

i ng and perm itt ing al l the forces Of thebody to act .SEV ENTH . Don

’

t t reat an acute case Oftener thanonce every th ree or four hours

,or ch ron ic cases

,Often

e r than once a day .

E IG HTH . It i s never safe to manipulate the l imbsor work on the Sp ine during pregnancy. For

,to draw

the arms h igh and strong above the head,at the same

t ime press ing on the Sp in e be low the last dorsal vertebrae , or to flex the l imbs strongly against the chestduring th is per iod

,i s dangerous in the extreme . On ly

diseases Of the head and extrem iti es are safe ly treatedbyman ipulat ions dur ing th is period .

NI NTH . Whi le man ipu lations wi l l imp iove the

action and remove the pa in in stiff and chionic dislocated joints

,the dis location can never be reduced

when it is Of long standing .

TEN TH . By drawing the arms h igh above the

12 O STEOPRAC TIC M ETHOD .

head at the same time press ing with the knee in theback , be low the Shoulder b lades , thus stretch ing themuscles of the chest

,and springing the r ibs forward ,

W Il l in stantly cure Sharp ,acute pains in the S ides , or

chest , and certain diseases Of the heart . A continuation Of th is treatment wi l l cure asthma and consumpt ion in its early stages .

ELEV ENTH . Last,but not least

,we come to vibra

t ions , which is caused by a motion Of the hand whichquickens , stimulates , and strengthens , the differentorgans Of the body over wh ich i t i s p laced .

It also reduces inflammation,congestion ,

and dim in i shes pain

,and if app l i ed over certai n nerve cen

ters , i t increases the secretion Of the glands .

How to prepare to treat by man ipu lationsF I RST comes the table

,which should be made

two feet,four i nches h igh

,two feet wide and S ix feet

long. For Office work,it should be upholstered , other

wise a cheap pine table with a few comforts th rownover i t wi l l answer .

“

O r a person can use a couch ,

chai r,or bed

,and get good results .

SECOND . Enough clothing Should be removed toenable the Operator to get at the seat Of disease andadmin iste r the treatment i n a thorough and in te l l igentmanner .TH I RD . A l l

’ man ipulations Shou ld be given in aS low

,gentle

,thorough

,giving the

muscles of the patient an Opportun ity to re lax . The

pati ent Should be instructed to re lax the muscles as

much as poss ib le . The Object Of the man ipu lations , isto stretch the muscl es and remove any pressure thatmight interfe re with free ci rcu lat ion or the nerve a e

to any given point .FOURTH . A thorough general treatment stimulates

and equal izes al l forces Of the enti re system .

ASTHMA.

(To gasp for breath ) .

C AUSE .

Asthma is caused by the contraction of the mus clesof the chest

,drawing the ribs down on the lungs

,not

leaving space for lung expans ion . In most cases as l ight depress ion wi l l be noticed in the upper r ibs , onthe left s ide

,and the corresponding ribs on the r ight

side wi l l be found elevated . Sometimes th i s wi l l bereversed .

SYMPTOMS .

They occur in paroxysms at i1 1egu lar i ntervals , accompan ied by a wheez ing sound and suffocation

,by

contraction of the throat,with cough and expectora

t ion . There are several var ieties of Asthma , of whichthere seems to be two principal k inds of symptoms .

In one kind the attacks are sudden and vio lent , on lylasting a short time . The sense of constri ction is hard ,

dry and spasmodic,cough Sl ight

,expectoration scanty

and on ly appearing toward the end of the paroxysm .

In the other k ind,the paroxysm is gradual an d pro

tracted,the constr i ct ion heavy , the cough violent and

scanty , expectoration begins at once ,afterward gett ing

more copious,affording great re l ief . In most cases the

attacks occur after midn ight .

SYMPTOMS .

A s ink ing of the uterus in the pelvi s is observedabout two weeks before the onset of the pain s .

The abdomen usual ly becomes smal l e r , breath ing

OBSTETRIC S . 289

eas ie r and a general sens e of re l i ef and buoyancy ;as th is indicates approach ing labor there Shou ld beno indulgence in manual exerci se . Anothe r usualS ign which may appear from one to two weeks before labor

,i s an in creased glai ry secretion from the

gen ital organs . In return for these advantages thedescent of the uterus often occas ions i r r i tation ofthe bladde r and rectum The i n creased secretion ,

which is des i rable,i s often accompan ied by an un

comfortable swel l ing of the parts . F i nal ly thereoccurs the contraction of the uterus which indi catesthat preparat ion i s being made for the expu ls ion ofits contents . These contract ions usual ly continueseveral days before labor .

LABORIS DIVIDED INTO THREE STAGES.

IN THE F IRST STAGE .

The paIns are acute , grinding and cutt ing. beginn ingin the lumbar and sacra l region , extending down theth ighs and often around to the front . The contractionof the uterus , the compress ion of the uter ine nerves .and di latation of the cervix

,are the causes of the pain .

During th is time the gen ital canal becomes bathedwith the secret ion which may or may not be t i ngedwith blood

TREATMENT .

In the first stage we find by press i ng upon the s idesof the cl i tori s with the i ndex and second finger theci rcu lar muscl es wi l l re lax without much pain . C on

tinue th i s pressure unti l the head of the fetus reachesthe floor of the pe lvis .

THE SEC OND STAGE .

In th is stage there are regular and frequent bearin gdown pains . and a sensatIon of tearing and s tretc lnng.


The patient i s now conscious of an effort to expe l abody from the abdomen

,which br ings the abdominal

muscles into action ; i ncreas ing by the i r contraction ,the

suffer ing of the patient . C ramps now occur in thelegs . The bursting of the water-bagr usual ly occurs inthe fi rst part of th is stage . The patient almost invariab ly des i res someth ing to pul l against to ass is t her i nher efforts . when the head appears at the outlet ofthe vagina it shou ld be he l d in the r ight handwhi le the left i s p laced upon the abdomen fol lowing the uterus as it descends and forces out the bodyAs soon as the head is born

,i f the unbilical cord is

around the neck,en large the loop and draw it care

fu l ly over the ch i ld ’ s head ; or de l iver the shouldersand body through it . Now place the chi ld to one S ideof the bed care be ing exerci sed not to pu l l upon thecord . C lear the mucous from the mouth and throatwith the fingers , and if respi ration does not occur

,

p lace the ch i ld in a bas in of hot water , leaving thechest exposed , after which , _ _

dash co l d water upon itunti l breath ing is estab l i shed

,i f th is fai l s (which it se l

dom does) hold the chi ld’

s nose and breath into thel ungs , permitting it to escape at the rate of e ighteen ortwenty times per minute . Don ’ t tie the cord unti l thechi ld breathes free ly

,and the pulsations have decreased

in force ; then tie the cord twice ,first about th ree in ches

from the body , then about fiv e in ches from the body,

and cut between the two ties .

TREATMENT .

In,

the second stage as soon as the cervix i s fu l lydi lated , remove the fingers from the cl itori s and apply a strong pressure upon e i ther s ide and close to thethree low er lumbar vertebrae

,which

,causes the parts

to re l ax much faster,and with not so much dangerof

l aceration .


C ARE OF THE C H I LDWash the chi ld in water heated to about 98 degrees ,

us ing noth ing but fine soap . Oil the vern ix to softenit . C arefu l ly dry and app ly the be l ly-band .

THE BE L LY-BAND .

Are al l one and the same th ing . It is a sci ence thati s agitating the minds of the medical frate rn ity as we l las al l other i nte l l igent peop le of the present age As

an agen t for heal ing the S ick it has no equal,th rough

it,health suggestions are made for the bui ld ing up of

the different organs of the body ; they are conveyedby the mind through the nerves , to the diseased partsof the body . As before stated

,hypnoti sm is the

power that one mind exerts over another ; th i s powe rexists to the degree

,that we act upon the suggestions

gIven .

HOW TO HYPNOTISEHypnoti sm is performed by means of suggestion ,

obj ect gaz ing,passes , or rubbing , and somet imes two

or more of them combinedF i rst—You must have your subject ’ s undivided at

tention ,

Second - The subject must be pass ive and agree toaccept you r suggestions . (or be l i eve what you say )and act upon them .

THE TEST .

Seat the subject on a chai r without arms or rockers ;with both feet flat upon the floor . Have him place hi shands upon h is th ighs with the palms fl at down andthe fingers point ing out towards the knees

,request

h im to re l ax al l musc les and concentrate his mind onwhat you te l l h im . The operator Should then assume


a pos iti on about four feet i n front of the subject. andclose al l of the fingers on h is right hand but the twofront ones , spread them apart so as to make a letter V .

holding the finge rs at an angle of forty-five degreesabove the subject’ s eyes , te l l h im to fix his eyessteadi ly upon the ends of the fingers and keep themthere with out winking ; then move S lowly toward h imte l l i ng him

,when your fingers are with in four inches

of h is eyes . to close them gently , and arch the eye

brows . Then place your r ight thumb between h iseyes and a l ittle above

, p ress wi th the thumb sayingat the same time pos it ive ly

,

‘ your eyes are tight ,‘and tighter ,

” “you can ’ t Open them .

” you can’

t ,”

Try,

” “Try,

” "Try.

”

A l l right ,” “now you can. I f

he takes your suggestions . or i s at al l pass ive he cannot open them unti l you te l l h im he can . Anothertest Te l l h im he can ’ t get up from the chai r , “youcan

’

t get up ,“you can ’ t

,

” “you can ’ t,

” “you can’

t eventry . al l r ight

,

” “now you can . Have h im clasp hishands together and te l l h im he cannot pu l l them apart ,“you can

’

t ,” “you can ’ t even try

,and so on , as be

fore . Have h im ari se and start to w alk and te l l h imhi s knees are sti ff and he cannot bend them

,you

can ’ t ,”

and so on,as before . You can tel l h im h is feet

are heavy and he cannot l ift them,or that he has fleas

on him,i nd icating whe re they are by letting the ends

of your fingers touch him . In fact,anyth ing that you

suggest to him that Is not contrary to h is in cl i nat ions ,or habits

,when he i s awake (or not in the hypnoti c

state ) he wi l l do .

Another s imple test i s to have the subject standwith h is head erect . eyes c l osed and feet close together , the operator standing beh ind him with the

ends of h i s fingers close to the back of the subjectsneck , drawing h is hands backward or pul l back on theml ike he was pul l ing the subject by force

,and he wil l


here , you wi l l try ; and n ine times out of ten you wi l lsucceed7th .

-A S imple suggestion is one that another givesyou ; W hi le not under the hypnoti c influence . For

example , a mother wi l l k i ss the bruised member of herchi ld and say ,

“now it i s wel l,and the l i tt le -

one wil lstop crying and begin to pl ay ; also if a fr i end meetsyou and says “you are looking bad” or you are looking we l l

”these are s imp l e suggest ions .

8th .

—The subject can break the hypnoti c s leep atany time he sees fit . in Sp ite of the operator9th .

— The subject i s never unconscious .

l0th .

—The subject wi l l have to agree to carry outthe suggestions made .

THE DIFFERENT DEGREES. OR STAGES OF HYPNOT I CSLEEP

Hypnoti c S l eep is divided into s ix stages , or degreesF i rst stage —Is s leep .

Second stage Sound s leep .

Thi rd . or C atalepti c Stage —When the subject takesthe rigid condit ion .

Fourth,or Mind Reading Stage—P IS unre l iab le . bemg

used as a stopping place between the th i rd and fifthstages .

F ifth,or Trave l i ng Stage —In th is stage you can

send the subject anyw here you choose . as in thIs

stage the mind goes where i t i s sent .

S ixth,or C lai rvoyant Stage—Th is is the deep trance

stage,i n it

,al l objects come before the mind .

HOWTOPRODUCE THE DI FFERENT DEGREES OF SLEEP.

Pl ace the subject i n an easy (or recl i n ing) pos i tion ,

and te l l h im to re lax al l muscles and go to s leep .

Have him repeat over and over the fol lowing words .

HYPNOTISM . 297

"I-am-going -to-s leep,

” “I-am-going-to - S leep in his

own mind . to the e xclus ion of al l othe r thoughts .

The operator shou ld now place his r ight hand uponthe subject

’

s forehead . shading the eyes and v ib rategently

, ( See V ib ration . page 140) te l l i ng h im to take along deep breath and go to s leep . The Operatorshou ld now suggest i n a low ,

S low tone of voi ce ,“Your

eyes-are-getting heavy-and-ti red-and -you-are-going -to '

s leep,you -aref ee ling

-s l eepy,

” and so on unti l th e pat i ent is as leep . Now you have h im in the first stageof the hypnoti c s l eep Afte r al lowing the subj ect fiveor ten minutes i n th i s stage

,have h im take anothe r

deep,ful l b reath and go down into the second stage ;

repeati ng th is between each stage unti l he is downinto the s ixth stage . When in the th i rd stage the subject has no power to move ; th i s is the stage in wh ichyou can give health suggestions , as they wi l l s e ldomever fai l i n producing the des i red resu lts I n thefourth stage you can place your m ind steadi ly uponsometh ing and he wi l l describe it to you . I n the fifthstage he wi l l go where you send h im and describep laces or persons to you . I n the sixth stage anyth ingyou want to know comes right before h im l ike a panorama and he wi l l be ab le to answer any question youmay propound . Before placing the subj ect i nto thes ixth stage be sure and exact a prom ise that he w il lretu rn when you ask h im to . or he might want to stayawhi le , as he is at perfect ease . But you can safe lylet h im stav as he wi l l soon s l eep off that condit ion

D i ffe rent sensations are experi enced by d iffe rentpersons whi le in the hypnoti c state . Some have atingl i ng sensation over the whole body , others have afee l ing of S ink ing down out of s ight

,whi le others fee l

as though float ing in the ai r . Awake the subj ect byte l l ing h im to come back th rough the stages and wake


up A l so suggest to h im that he wi l l fee l refreshedand al l r ight .
