Shown by the fact that some home practice is almost alwaj's used be- fore calling a physician; that very many are obljged to rely upon one all through sickness; that as constructed, there is serious danger that the nature of the disease will be mistaken; that there is great danger that the prescribed remedies will be misapplied; that eminent physi- cians confess the harmfulness of drug-dosing, even by their own hands; that an over-dose is detrimental and may be fatal; the Biochemic system only, prevents disaster in such circumstances. CHAPTER TWO. THE EFFICIENCY OF THE CELL-SALTS. Demonstrated by the citation of hundreds of cases of people cured by them, as attested in the clinical reports of physicians to physicians (i. e. to medical societies and medical journals, not designed for the eye of the people), therefore absolutely reliable. CHAPTER THREE. THE BIOCHEMIC SYSTEM OF CURE FULLY EXPLAINED. What disease is; what the Cell-Salts are; their properties and func- tions; hoiv they cure disease. CHAPTER FOUR. THE INDICATIONS OR SYMPTOMS THAT CALL FOR THE USE OF EACH CELL-SALT. All known symptoms of all diseases, so far as they relate to Biochemic remedies, are here classified, not by the names of diseases, for they are of no value, but by the functions and organs, e. g., digestion, thought, heat-production, etc., so that all confusion is avoided. 4 Some Treatment with the Cell-Salts. CHAPTER FIVE. NATURE'S CO-OPERATIVE CURATIVES Diet, baths, exercise, sleep, rest, recreation, etc. CHAPTER SIX. THE CO-OPERATIVE CURATIVES OF SCIENCE. When diseases become bacterial the Cell-Salts need to be reinforced by germicides. Which germicides are safe and efficient, and how to em- ploy them. CHAPTER SEVEN. THE INDEPENDENT AND THE CO-OPERATIVE CURATIVES OF CHRISTIAN FAITH INTRODUCTION. The most natural as well as the most philosophical ar- rangement of a book for the home treatment of diseases is neither by the ordinary medical classifications, nor by re- gions as head, stomach, pelvis, etc., but by functions, for of what use is a head if it cannot think, or of a heart if it does not beat, or of a stomach if it cannot digest? Therefore this book is a treatment of diseases by the functional derangements that they exhibit, and by which their presence is known. If this new method seem inconvenient at first sight to the reader, he has but to glance at the Outline Plan next to the title page to see its comprehensiveness, symmetry and utility." And if one is at a loss to know under what function some symptom may be found, a moment's examination of the Index-Glossary will disclose it. Biochemistry discards as unphilosophical and unscien- tific the names and classifications of diseases as they are found in the medical text books. Why not then, have an arrangement of its own, based upon its own cardinal principles, and in harmony with its own use of remedies ? The important point to be fixed in the mind of the reader is that names of diseases signify nothing. The functional disturbance is what is to be studied, and to that, not to a name, the remedies are to be fitted. Other books lay down treatment for certain diseases which are to be distinguished by a few detailed symptoms, but as a matter of fact, the similarity between the symp- toms is so close, and the frequency of other symptoms that 6 Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. are not named is so great, that laymen are at their wit's end to know just what disease to treat, and there is a period in the onset of febrile diseases when not a physician on earth can tell with certainty whether he has one disease or another to combat. All this perplexity is avoided by our method. A fever is a functional disturbance of the circulation, and should be treated as that purely and simply, without regard to anything that may follow. Of course this cannot be safely done in the use of drug- poisons. Prof. Alonzo Clark says, "All our curative agents (so-called) are poisons, and as a consequence even- dose diminishes the patient's vitality." But our remedies are reconstructive always, therefore are always safe; a consideration of immense moment in placing curatives in the hands of the people. Medicines have been defined by Dr. C. Wesselhoeft in a lecture before the advanced students of Harvard Medi- cal School as ''substances which if consumed by a well person will make that well person sick." According to this accepted definition the Biochemic Salts are not medicines. Very well ; why employ medicines when remedies ( re- constructives) are efficient to euro? The use of this book will demonstrate the superiority of remedies over medi- cines, and the utter uselessness of the latter, except as ger- micides in appropriate cases, as explained in Chapter VI. Those who recognize diseases only by their names find it hard to understand how one remedy can be appropriate for main - and dissimilar diseases. But when they come to see that the same condition un- derlies these diseases and that the true philosophy oi cure consists in changing that condition , then the beautiful sim- Introduction. 7 plicity of the system explained in these pages becomes ap- parent. Why should two thousand medicines be needed to cor- rect the wrong conditions of the few elements out of which man is made? Nature is severely simple in her methods ; man is osten- tatiously complex in his. The author is indebted to the following named Bio- chemic Works for the information that is gathered into this book, and to its publisher for much valuable assistance.

The general need of a safe and reliable system of home practice is apparent from these considerations, viz. : i . The fact that some home practice is almost always resorted to before calling a physician. It may be to avoid the expense of the physician's services, or the immediate relief of pain, or from the general feeling that " something ought to be done," but for some reason home efforts arc and will be made. Therefore it is important that they be rightly directed. 2. The limited resources of families, or their distance from physicians in whom they have confidence, necessi- tates reliance upon home practice all through many sick- nesses, to the exclusion of all other helps. It may be a hard necessity, but very many, especially in thinly-settled regions, must combine in one person the office of parent, nurse and physician all through the weary, anxious hours of lingering sickness even to the end, be that end life or death. That the chances for life will be greatly aug- mented by a safe and efficient home practice none who be- lieve in the law of cause and effect can doubt. And common humanity strongly insists that if the end must be bereavement, the sufferers have the best aid that a reliable home system of practice can give, so that they may be solaced as others who employ physicians are, by the rellection, " all was done that could be" for recovery. 3. Home practice as ordinarily found is fraught with the serious danger of the great probability that the nature of the disease may be mistaken, i. e., wrong diagnosis made. The Need of a Safe and Efficient Home Treatment. 9 Medical books describe hundreds of diseases, each with its own peculiar symptoms, yet many resembling each other so closely that ordinary physicians are often unable to discriminate between them, and a skillful diagnostican (one who diagnoses or detects disease) is among the rarest of medical experts. That the common people should mis- take the disease is therefore the most probable of all prob- able things, and if the error does occur no one can tell the mischief that may result. Hence it is a common expe- rience of physicians to find diseases seriously aggravated by the mistakes of home efforts to relieve. It is therefore of great consequence that those efforts, if they cannot be free from a mistaken direc.ion, may at least escape the the baneful results of injurious medication. 4. Home practice as ordinarily prescribed in books of home treatment is attended with the great probability that the remedies will be misapplied. If they are allophatic or eclectic, some in most frequent use are deadly poisons ; many are in their nature delete- rious, and nearly all are over-dosed. The narcotics, opi- ates, sedatives, stimulants, etc., most generally prescribed would amaze an intelligent observer were he not so accus- tomed to the sight. But familiarity with them does not change the nature of opium, chloral, nux vomica, digitalis or the bromides. Physicians deplore the uncertainty which attends the administration of the most deadly drug- arising from the variations in the proportions of their active principles in different preparations, e. g., opium may contain eight or sixteen per cent of morphine to the grain, i. e., one dose may be one dose, or it may be two. Belladonna contains atropine varying from 0.25 per cent to 0.75 per cent. Other drugs vary still more widely, yet the books dose i" Home Treatment with the Cell-Suits. the drug at a fixed quantity, and physicians prescribe them accordingly. But the " accidents" are attributed to other causes, and so the death-dealing work goes on. Is it likely to be any less when the same drugs are em- ployed in home prescriptions? If the medicines are homeopathic, the poisons are pre- scribed more frequently than the harmless agents, and if they have any efficiency to heal when wisely used, they are equally efficient to injure if unwisely employed. And that they must be unwiselv employed is a necessity arising from the complexity of the system itself. Says Dr. H. A. Anderson, " When we give four thousand symptoms with aggravations for nearly every hour of the day to a single drug, it is a confusion to the student and a stumbling- block to the experienced prescriber." The writer has personally examined the case of a homeo- pathic physician, consisting of sixteen hundred vials, each containing a remedy different in nature or potenev from all the others. Now a system that requires sixteen hundred remedies to treat some thousands of " indications " is cer- tain to have its remedies misapplied by laymen or physi- cians either, unless they are experts. It is absurd to say that " if they do no good they will do no harm." If they have no potency, the system is a fraud, and they who recommend it are abettors o\ fraud. If they have potenev, it is for good or ill according as it is wisely or unwisely applied, and the point that I insist upon is, that unwise application is unavoidable in the ease of all but experts. Therefore remedies that are harmless are a prime necessity tor home treatment of disease. To add to the certainty that serious results will be likely to OCCur in the home use of drug medicines is the taet that The Need of a Safe and Efficient Home Treatment. 1 1 they are so generally adulterated that no certainty can be had of securing from the ordinary druggist the medicine that is ordered. As an illustration, the New York Phar- maceutical Association reports that "seven samples of ni- trous ether varied so greatly that a pint of one only equaled a teaspoonful of another." A manufacturing pharmacist sent fifty prescriptions precisely alike to fifty drug stores. It called for one article that all drug stores are supposed to keep in stock. Analyses showed that only about three of the fifty were correctly put up, and a large proportion of them did not contain a particle of the test medicine. They who use drugs in home prescriptions are certain to deal with most uncertain agents. 5. No person who has read the Confessions of noted physicians relative to the uncertainty and harmfulness of the ordinary drug treatment of disease can doubt that a better system of cure is one of the most pressing needs of life. For example, Dr. Sidney Ringer, the greatest English authority on the action of drugs, says: "The sustained administration of alkalies and their carbonates renders the blood poorer in solids and in ?'cd corpuscles, and impairs the nutrition of the body.' 1 So Dr. Wood, endorsed by Dr. W. L. Stowell, Ameri- can Medical Bulletin, says: "Present therapeutics is a mixture of science and empiricism." Also Dr. J. J. M. Goss, in Medical Brief, says : "Medicine lacks much of being a fixed science." "Ninety-nine out of every hundred medical facts are medical lies ; and medical doctrines are for the most part, stark, staring nonsense." — Professor Gregory, Edinburgh. "Medicine is a barbarous jargon, and has destroyed 1 2 Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. more lives than war. pestilence and famine combined." — John Mason Good, M. Z>., F. R. S. "Thousands are annually slaughtered in the quiet sick room. Governments should banish medical men and pro- scribe their blundering art." — Dr. Titus. Counselor of the Court tit Dresden. "The stolid bigotry which will not be enlightened and will not investigate is responsible for many millions of deaths. The gigantic errors of medical men need vigorous criticism by those who are not afraid to speak. — Dr. Bu- chanan. " Drugs do not act in the beneficial way they are sup- posed to do ; according to my reading they are so many poisons, and I am supported by medical books, which speak of the toxic (poisonous) effects of drugs. Many cases are made worse, or recovery is protracted by the use of drugs, whilst some are even killed or their death has- tened by the drugs themselves. " — Dr. Allinson, London. " Medicine is a great humbug. . I know it is called sci- ence. Science, indeed ! it is nothing like science. Doc- tors are merely empirics when they are not charlatans." — M. Magendie, the celebrated French -physiologist. "All medicines which enter the circulation poison the blood in the same manner as do the poisons that produce the disease. Drugs do not cure disease. Digitalis has hurried thousands to the grave. Prussic acid was once extensively used in the treatment of consumption, both in Europe and America, but its reputation is lost. Thous- ands of patients were treated with it, but not a case was benefited. On the contrary, hundreds were hurried to the grave." — The venerable Prof. J'os. M. Smith. M. D. " All our curative agents (so-called) are poisons, and as The Need of a Safe and Efficient Home Treatment. 13 a consequence every dose diminishes the patient's vital- ity." — Prof. Alonzo Clark, M. D. " The medical practice of our day is, at the best, a most uncertain and unsatisfactory system ; it has neither phi- losophy nor common sense to commend it to confidence." — Prof. Evans, Fellow of the Royal College, London, England. " Our actual information or knowledge of disease does not increase in proportion to our experimental practice. Every dose of medicine given is a blind experiment upon the vitality of the patient." — Dr. Bostick, author of His- tory of Medicine. " Dissections daily convince us of our ignorance of dis- ease and cause us to blush at our prescriptions. What mischiefs have we not done under the belief of false facts and false theories ? We have assisted in multiplying dis- ease ; we have done more ; we have increased their fatal- ity." — Benjamin Rush, M. D., Philadelphia. " The drugs which are administered for the cure of scar- let fever and measles kill far more than the diseases do. Instead of investigating for themselves, medical authorities have copied the errors of predecessors, and have thus re- tarded progress and perpetuated errors." — Prof. B. E. Barker, M. D. 6. An over-dose of the remedies of the systems to which the above citations refer produce disturbance of the func- tions in proportion to the dose. Official reports from seven European hospitals show un- der homeopathic treatment a mortality of 4.22 per cent. Official reports from five European hospitals under allo- pathic care give a death rate of 12.61 per cent., thus show- ing the beneficent effects of the least medication as com- 14 Some Treatment with the Cell-Salts. pared with the freer use of drugs, even in the hands of skilled physicians. The cell-salt remedies if over-dosed or misapplied are simply not appropriated by the absorbents and are carried as waste matter out of the body with no functional disturb- ance. Therefore they are perfectly safe. NO person who is familiar with the figures showing the enormous sale of patent and proprietary medicines can doubt that the pcupk have taken the work of curing their countless ailments into their own hands. They buy and take blindly because they do not know what better thing to do. Home treatment doctor books representing all the lead- ing " pathies " have been sold broadcast, yet the people feel that the right system has not come to them yet. Fortunately, this can be said no longer. The Bio- chemic System is the most safe, scientific and satisfactory theory and practice of cure that the world has ever seen. It was not elaborated for the use of the people, and for thirty years has been kept from them. This book is the first systematic effort that has ever been made in the English language to adapt the system to the comprehension, and adjust the treatment to the use of those who know nothing of the sciences that are supposed to be a necessary part of a medical education. Can it be done? Unquestionably it can, for among the author's own patrons it has been successfully employed in very many instances. And why not? No acquaintance with anatomy, physiology, chemistry, materia medica (medical substances) nor therapeutics (to cure by reme- dies) is necessary in the home use of the cell-salts. Names of diseases are entirely ignored, and conditions only art' considered. The Need of a Safe and Efficient Rome Treatment. 1 5 These conditions are not some hidden, mysterious things that only a doctor can discriminate, but such as the color of the coat of the tongue, the color and consistency of ex- pectoration or of a discharge, the kind of pain, i. e., shift- ing or steady, shooting or grinding, etc. Surely these matters any person of ordinary intelligence can de- termine positively, and with that knowledge he has only to ask this book what salt to use in such conditions, and it answers with a certainty that is as unfailing as human judgment can make it, and is as refreshing as it is sure when compared with the timid, hesitating uncertainty that most people feel in the use of the home doctor books and drug medicines of the past. This great fact only has but to be stated to show the ab- solute superiority of this practice over all others, and the necessity for it, because it is thus superior. The people ought to have the best. CHAPTER II. THE EFFICIENCY OF THE CELL-SALTS. There are two methods of determining this question. The first is the one pursued by patent medicine manu facturers, viz., the collection of testimonials from those who as patients have used the nostrums and certify to their value. The objections to this class of evidence are : i . The very great liability to mistake on the part "of those unfamiliar with diseases, and their consequent false report of their real condition. 2. The nearly universal tendency of the human mind to make reports as startling as possible — thus leading to ex- aggeration. 3. The fact that such testimonies are often influenced^ sometimes bought outright, and sometimes transferred from one article to another. 4. The fact that no nostrum is ever found so poor in virtue that large numbers of testimonials are not offered in its favor. This item alone should cause the acceptance of such evi- dence to be considered as a very weak foundation on which to rest the use of compounds affecting human life. The other method of reaching the truth as to the effi- ciency of the Cell-Salts is : To collect testimonials from physicians who have pre- scribed them, and who certify their value in specific con- ditions to their fellow physicians, whose knowledge of the import of those conditions furnishes a safeguard against undue exaggeration, and who, by the very circumstances The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 1 7 in which the testimony is given, can neither be influenced nor bought. Such evidence from professional men is the strongest that can possibly be adduced outside of a court of justice. Such is the testimony that is here cited. These reports are also of peculiar value as detailed ex- amples of the actual use of the remedies in every-day prac- tice, thus furnishing to the intelligent layman hints of the wise selection for the conditions named. Surely the same remedies for the same conditions can be no less efficient if dealt out by unprofessional hands. It will be observed that in some cases potences other than the 6x are employed. This is well enough for physicians, but as Schuessler ad- vised, the 6x should be the standard, only to be departed from when that obviously fails, not because wrongly se- lected, but because the system of the patient is incompe- tent to assimilate it. In most of these cases cited herein there is no evidence that 6x would not have done as well as the potency actually employed. The life-long habits of drug dosing have created a tim- idity in the use of remedies unless specifically prescribed by professional authority on the part of many who rely upon their physicians only, but such need not fear to fol- low these prescriptions in similar cases ; first, because these remedies are not poisonous ; second, because these reports are precisely the same kind of authority that phy- sicians follow in making their prescriptions, and the same authority likewise that is relied upon by physicians in writ- ing medical books, and that constitutes the foundation and largely the substance of the lectures to the students in medical colleges. The names of diseases are retained here both because Treatment with the Cell-Salts. they are in the articles cited and to aid the reader in iden- tifying the conditions treated under those names. The ar- ticles are considerably condensed for this place. Abscess OF Ear. — Carrie A., age 16. Severe pain in left middle ear. with all the symptoms of gathering. Calc. Sulph., 3x, twice a day, cured in two days. — The Homeo- pathic News. • Accident. — Clara M., 7 years. Thrown and dr by a horse. Left arm broken above elbow in two places, about three inches apart ; left hand badly bruised : right arm and body bruised ; hoof-marks on face, right side of which was crushed down : head and neck swollen out an inch ; both eyes closed ; mouth and tongue badly swollen. I reached her one and a half hours after accident, and found her in death-like stupor. Gave Kali Phos.. 3X, every ten minutes, which banished the stupor. Then gave Kali Mur. and Ferrum Phos. alternately every fifteen min- utes. Set the arm under chloroform. Second day gave remedies every thirty minutes, and fourth day every hour. Steady improvement from the first, and in three weeks bandages were removed and she was dismissed a well girl. Her life was saved by Ferrum Phos. and Kali Mur. in large doses. — j'. C. Ferrell, M. 1). Acute Ailments. — In mostly all acute ailments Ferr. Phos. is absolutely the remedy to begin with, and if rightly and early enough given will cut short the disease. When once exudation or suppuration has taken place, it is no longer the indicated remedy, and we must look farther. Still I would strongly advise the practitioner not to change too quick from Ferrum Phos. to another remedy. He cautious in this regard. — Win. Stcinrati/, M. D. After Birth, Removing. — Young lady, age 27. The labor was normal, but as soon as the child was expelled. The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 1 9 the uterus contracted with walls of abdomen hard, rigid and conical. I used several remedies to relax, but in vain. At last I gave Mag. Phos., fifteen grains (three doses in one), in hot water. In five minutes the relaxation oc- curred, and the placenta came away without further diffi- culty. — Wm. Chapman, 31. D. Anaemia. — Young lady, age 17. Became greatly de- bilitated ; had no appetite and no ambition ; her menses were irregular ; absent for months, then a flow varying in quantity. I gave her Calc. Phos., 6x, as principal remedy, also at times Ferrum Phos. as well. A few months and she was able to resume her studies. — Dr. C. T. M. Anaemia. — Lizzie F,, age 16. Almost bloodless, ner- vous, almost strengthless, been so for months. Cured in five weeks with Calc. Phos., Kali. Phos. and a few doses of Kali. Mur.— Dr. J. C. Ferrell. Asthma, Chronic. — Female, married, age 42. Sub- ject to attacks for years ; expectoration greenish and re- markably copious. Natr. Sulph. every three hours. Im- provement began after a few doses, expectoration becom- ing paler and less abundant ; has felt better since than for years ; and one noteworthy fact is, that the expectoration stopped in a few doses, whereas in previous attacks it had continued for weeks, thus indicating that the Natr. Sulph. had gotten at the root of the evil. — Dr. Wm. J. Guernsey. Asthma, Humid. — Old, chronic cases. In one in- stance respiration sounded like thin boiling mush. Two grains of Kali. Sulph., 3X, every two and a half hours has given me the most surprising results. I could ask for nothing better. — Dr. G. W. Harvey. Asthma. — Young gentleman, J. G. Had been subject to severe attacks of asthma for several years. He tried Kali Phos. and Kali Mur.. and experienced relief more Home Treatment with the Cell-Suits. quickly than by any other remedy he had tried. — From Schuessler . Bed-Ridden. — Miss R.. age 24. Left bed-ridden nine years ago from typhoid fever. lias been treated by noted physicians of all schools. I prescribed Kali Mur., }x, two grains every six hours. Improved at once, and in less than one year gained thirty-rive pounds in weight, and is walking about without the assistance of a cane. — V. W. ( onnor, M. I). Biliousness. — A case of bilious vomiting followed by voracious appetite, bitter taste and yellow skin. I pre- scribed Nat. Sulph. for the biliousness, and Kali. Phos. for the appetite. The second dose of Kali. Phos. relieved the stomach, and in forty-eight hours the skin was clear. This was after the quinine and pills of another physician had failed.—/ 1 . S. Dunham, M. D. Another Case. — J. W., age 56. Cutting pains in abdo- men, bilious stools, coated tongue, yellow eyes and skin, heat in bowels, worse in damp weather. Dr. H. S. Phil- lips prescribed Nat. Sulph., which resulted in speedy cure. Bites from Centipede and Scorpion. — Less than three grains of Nat. Mur. rubbed in with saliva on my lit- tle linger relieved me thoroughly in twenty minutes from the effects of the bite of a large centipede (live to six inches ) . In scorpion bites, I suggest Ferrum Phos. in addition to Nat. Mur., should Nat. Mur. alone prove insufficient. — Dr. C. I '. Lorander. Blind Spells and Headache. — Mr. B., engineer, age 59. Blind spells, then flashy lights shooting out in rays and circles from one-half an hour to two hours, then an in- tense headache. Come from once a day to once in three days. Back head stiff and sore. Troubled live years. I The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 2 1 gave Silica, I2x, and Calc. Flour, 3X, on alternate days, with occasionally Nat. Mur., 3X, and he was cured in three months. — F. D. Bittinger, M. D. Bronchitis. — Lady Louisa has been subject to attacks of bronchitis for several winters, the first attack proving very serious. Ferrum Phos., a dose every hour, and a few doses of Kali. Phos. for exhausted condition, were steadily taken for a few days, and then Ferrum Phos. and Kali. Mur. alternately. The doctor who called to see her shortly after stated that the bronchial symptoms were all gone. — Dr. . Bronchitis, Chronic. — Archibald Herbert, suffering from chronic bronchitis, had an attack of pneumonia ; had been exposed to great heat and took a chill and inflamma- ,tion of right lung set in ; high fever, distressing cough, deep-seated pain in right side, expectoration tenacious, rusty colored. Ferrum Phos. in alternation with Kali. Mur., a dose every half hour, was taken for twenty-fowr hours ; then every hour. As the color of the sputa changed to yellow, he took Kali. Sulph. instead of Kali. Mur., and as this condition was remedied Nat. Mur. and Calc. Phos. completed the cure in a little more than ten days. — Dr. Cancer of the 'Stomach. — Mrs. L., age 62, an Hebrew lady, came under m}" care suffering with sharp, lancinating pains in the stomach. External examination, cachexia, and all significant symptoms seemed to point to the one condition of cancer. In order to be sure of the diagnosis I took the liberty and precaution to have an examination made by two other physicians in whom I have great confi- dence, both of whom pronounced it cancer of the stomach, with the prognosis of course of the speedy termination of my patient's life. I remarked that I expected to get her 22 Ilmnf Treatment with the Cell-Suite. up. My constant use of the Tissue Remedies has shown me what I can usually expect of them, and the remedies used were Calc. Phos., 3X, in alternation with Kali. Phos., 3X : a good-sized powder every three hours, until the ca- chexia and appearance of the face had changed to a more natural color, then I put her on Kali. Sulph., 6x, Nat. Mur., 6x, and Silica, I2x. In this order occasionally changing back to the Calc. Phos., Calc. Sulph., or Kali. Phos., as required by any change in her condition, and once or twice Nat. Phos. was used to quiet the pain. In sixty days our patient was out of bed, and inside of ninety days she was out on the street, feeling as w r ell as ever in her life. She is alive and well to-day, and there has been no return of any symptoms that would lead us to suppose the whole trouble was not cured. — F. D. Bittinger, M. J). Cancerous Ulcer-Epithelioma. — Wm. W., factory laborer. Ulcer on right side of nose as large as a twenty- five cent piece ; been there four years ; eye much affected : had been treated by two eye specialists and many physi- cians. Dr. S. then took the case and gave Kali. Sulph. twice a day and a lotion of the same. The inflammation disappeared in a few days and the ulcer healed in a short time. Another Case. — Miss A. D., age 20. -had a similar sore on the left side of the nose, and of the same size, but had existed but six months and its center was covered with a homy scab, while the surrounding parts were just ready to ulcerate. Dr. H. S. Phillips prescribed Kali. Sulph., ,}\. every four hours, and a lotion of the same applied fre- quently. The ulcer was cured in three weeks. Carbuncle. — 1 have tried all (the recommended reme- dies) and must say that I am disgusted with them all. Now when I have a case of carbuncle i need nothing more The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 23 than Silica. Give this internally and apply it locally, and your carbuncle will absolutely disappear without that de- structive process which attends your incision or poultice methods. — Dr. L. D. Foreman. Catarrh of the Stomach. — My son, age 20, was con- fined to his bed four days with catarrh of the stomach ; had no appetite ; was very nervous with much pain in the stom- ach ; tongue coated with yellow, slimy deposit. I gave him Kali. Sulph., and after two doses there was a marked improvement, pain subsided and appetite returned. — Dr. C. R. Taylor. Chills and Fever. — Nat. Mur. endears itself to the heart of the physician where this is such a common ail- ment, as it is more potent in those cases than any other one remedy. — Dr. Frances McMillan. (See Intermittent Fe- ver) . Children, Imperfectly Formed. — The first child had a spine bifidia (cleft spine) , club feet, womb prolapsed and protruding an inch externally. Lived two weeks. The mother never had been free from backache since she could remember. During her next pregnancy she took Calc. Phos., 5X, for seven months, and Sulphur. A perfect child without any trouble, even in dentition (teething), was the result, and two more children have been born un- der the same treatment whose only sickness has been mild scarlet fever, and the mother has no more backache. — A. P. Macomber, M. D. Children, Undevelopment in. — A tall, angular school marm, married at forty-two, brought to me the most scrag- gly, skinny and starved baby that I ever saw, of the neuter gender, several months old — her child, and bottle fed. I gave Calc. Phos., 6x. Three years later she called again and exclaimed, kt Don't vou know me? You saved my 2 ^ Rome Treatment with the GeU-Salts. Life."

Russell, M. J). Child Birth.— I was called to see a lady a week be- fore confinement. Uneasy, restless, sleepless, with cutting, flying pains some part of each day. I gave her Kali. Phos. three times daily. No pain after taking the third dose. Labor was almost painless. Gave birth to a four- teen pound girl. After the placenta was removed the uterus did not contract readilv and hemorrhage set in. I gave Ferr. Phos. and Kali. Phos., 3X, nlternately every half hour, and in two hours the hemorrhage had ceased and she recovered rapidly. — Dr. M. Mclmies. Second Case. — A very young person, sixteen years ami two months; very nervous and excited; did not know what to expect : very much frightened. Gave her Kali. Phos., 3X, every fifteen minutes ; in an hour she was qui- eted so as to sleep about three minutes between the con- tractions (pains) and everything was just perfect through- out her lying-in. — Dr. J/. Mclnnes. Cholera Infantum .—Mary B., eighteen months old. Green, watery stools, mixed with mucous, every few min- utes, producing great weakness and emaciation. She rolled her head about as if it was too heavy : eyes half open ; constant moaning or starting up in sleep": pulse rapid: complexion of a dirty white appearance: watery vomit. Ferrum Phos., 3.x, in hot water, every hour for six or eight times, then Calc. Phos. in alternation every The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 25 hour cured the case completely in less than one week. — Dr. . Colic, Renal. — Was called to a case a few days ago who was suffering with most excruciating pain in the course of left ureter, vomiting, cold perspiration, cold ex- tremities, small pulse, great agon}-, spasmodic cramping which would draw patient almost double, almost picture of death. Gave Mag. Phos., 3X, five grains in hot water, fif- teen minutes repeated dose, the third relieved — patient was able to be up in less than two hours after first dose ; next day was able to be at place of business. Who can say Mag. Phos. did not relieve? — D. Russell, M. D. Constipation. — My twin brother wrote me in regard to his son, six years old. For the last year it has been almost impossible for him to have an action. Fecal matter would become impacted until it could not be passed without great pain. Had been so for over a year and under the doctor's care for months, but no better. I put the child on Silica, and after taking it live weeks he has had no further trouble. — Dr. L. D. Foreman. Cough, Spasmodic. — Two cases. Worse at night und on bying down or breathing cold air ; better sitting up ; tightness of chest. One had spurting of urine when cough- ing. Both promptly relieved by Mag. Phos. — Dr. F. W. Southworth. Cough. — Mrs. B. caught cold, and it had settled on the lungs. Cough constantly, short, dry, inflammatory, hack- ing, and with considerable pain in the lungs. Gave Nat. Mur., 6x, and in less than an hour the cough had disap- peared entirely and did not return. Ferr. Phos., 6x, and Nat. Mur., and in two davs soreness in chest gone. — Dr. y. B. Chajyman . Cough with Emissions of Urine. — A lad)- who was 26 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. suffering from a cough which caused great inconvenience, as with every cough there was emission of urine. Ferrum Phos. cured her speedily. A short time ago the lady, un- der similar circumstances, was again troubled with a cough. Ferrum. Phos. this time also cured her speedily. — Dr. Fisher . Cramp Colic. — A stout man. age 45. florid, a high liver, doubled up with terrific cramps from eating heartily of boiled cabbage and ice cream on a hot day. Had such attacks frequently, and the wife said. " Nothing but mor- phine ever does John any good. Colocynth and other remedies failed. Then I gave Mag. Phos., 6x, in hot water every twenty minutes. The first dose relieved, and after the third he fell asleep. — Dr. Frances McMillan. Cramps. — Mrs. M. R. S., age 61, severe cramps in bowels. Mag. Phos., four grains in hot water every half hour, relieved after two doses. — M. F. Richards, M. I). Cramping and Drawing Pains. — An experiment tried by Dr. G. L. Freemeyer was in his own case. He could find no remedies to relieve his cramping pains. Took seven doses of Mag. Phos., 2x, and has " not had a pain since." Result : " I now have a full set of the tissue ( Bio- chemic) remedies, and prescribe them every day with good results. 11 Champs, Menstrual. — Mrs E. L. B. suffered with se- vere crampy pains at her periods. 1 used the biochemic remedies freely along with other treatment, and particu- larly Mag. Phos., 3X, a little before and during her period. She passed through without a particle of pain, and was so surprised and gratified she could not find words enough to express her thanks for the treatment received — Dr. M. F. /.'. CROUP. — If taken in time, Ferrum Phos. anil Kali. Mur. The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 27 is all that is required. A gargle of Kali. Mur. is very- beneficial, when practicable. — Dr. . Croup, Membranous. — Severe case. Treatment was Ferrum Phos., 3X, twenty grains dissolved in one-half glass of water, a teaspoonful every half hour or an hour, as case demanded. I did not try to reduce the fever at once — as I think fever is one of our best friends in disease. The little patient had a very dry, distressed breathing, what might be called a " spongia cough." For this I knew that the fibrin must not be allowed to remain in the diseased parts ; consequently I used twenty grains of Kali. Mur. to one-half glass of water, and ordered teaspoonful given every seven, fifteen or twenty minutes as was needed to keep him in a nice breathing condition. I used a table napkin squeezed out of cold water and changed on his neck as soon as it got warm. This cured the worst case of mem- branous croup I have seen in twenty years. — Dr. G. F. Dougherty . Croup, Membranous, — One of my children is subject to membranous croup, and Kali. Mur., 3.x, always controls it better than anything I have ever given. — Dr. L. D. Foreman. Croupy Cough. — Five powders of Kali. Mur., 2x, cured a case that had been under allopathic and eclectic treatment (five) days. — G. L. Frcciueyer, M. D. Croup, Spurious. — D. R., a boy of seven years, who took spurious croup whenever there was a sharp, keen, northeast wind, having had, a few years before, a very se- vere attack of true croup, this autumn had again an attack with fever and a loud, barking cough. I gave every two hours a full dose of Kali. Mur. After a few doses the cough became loose, lost completely the barking sound, 28 Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. and the following morning my patient was able to get up. — D. Schuessler. Cystitis (inflammation of bladder). — This is a very fre- quent trouble, and one that has given me no small amount of anxiety, until I began the use of the Tissue Remedies. In the treatment of cystitis I find in asthenic conditions with prostration, frequent urination with excessive secre- tion of urine or passing of blood in the urine, Kali. Phos. is the remedy in the 6x ; it will not disappoint you in a single case. When we have retention and frequent desire to urinate with spasmodic conditions, drawing and pull- ing sensation, I would advise you to give Mag. Phos. with confidence. I have been using the Schuessler Tis- sue remedies for a number of years in these affections and I find them first-class in every respect. — G. F. Dougherty, M. D. Decline. — Gertie I, age 18. ki Languid, listless, stu- pid, tired all over, poor appetite and menses every two weeks," was her mother's description. Fever, dry, coated tongue, backache and suspected typhoid also. Gave Bap- tisia three days, no better. Gave Gels, with same result. Then gave Calc. Fluor., and the change was to me mar- velous in its suddenness and completeness. — //. S. Phil- lips, M. D. Delirium Tremens. — Speedily cured by Nat. Mur. — Walker. Diarrhea, Army. — An old soldier afflicted with spells of it ever since the war. Was reduced to skin and bones almost, no appetite, seemed like the last call. A few days treatment with Nat. Mur.. 6x, made him feel as if he had been resurrected.— D. L. Hurd, M. D. Diarrhea, Infantile. — Child. v ^ weeks old, screaming with pain ; green, slimy discharge. The pains were soon The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 29 relieved with Mag. Phos. and the discharges arrested by Nat. Sulph.— D. L. Hurd, M. D. Diarrhea and Fever. — Child, 18 months old, tem- perature 104 , pulse 130 , face flushed, nerves excited, eyes staring, great thirst, frequent green, slim)- evacua- tions, vomiting, pain in stomach and abdomen. Ordered one grain of Ferr. Phos. and Mag. Phos. every thirty minutes in alternation. Began to feel relief from the first dose, was sleeping nicely in two hours and rapidly recov- ered.— W. E. Kinnett, M. D. Diptheria. — Under the regular treatment was so severe that the physician in charge gave up all hope of recovery and another physician was called. He gave Ferrum Phos. and Kali. Mur. and the case recovered. This is only one case of several that I can mention where the Tissue Reme- dies have most nobly asserted themselves. I believe that Biochemistry is yet in its infancy, and when it is under- stood and used by all I cannot help thinking and sa}dng, Oh ! what will the harvest be?— Dr. A. P. Bctts. Diptheria. — Miss H., age 16. High fevei , rapid pulse and soreness in throat and upper part of chest ; both tonsils covered with a white exudation about the size of the ball of the thumb : tongue white ; restless, sleepless, etc. Prescribed Ferrum Phos. and Kali. Mur. in alternation every hour, and a gargle of Kali. Mur. to be used fre- quently. Improvement was immediate and a good re- covery was made in four or five days. — Dr. y. B. Chap- man. Diptheria. — October 16th Master S., a bright, schol- arly boy of 14, pain in back of head, temperature 102+. I deferred diagnosis, but gave Ferrum Phos. for the fever. Oct. 17th. Symptoms all worse ; gray spots on both ton- sils, and diptheritic odor. Diagnosis : diptheria. Pre- 30 Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. scribed ten grains each Ferr. Phos. and Kali. Mur., 3X, in two glasses half full of water ; a teaspoonful every half hour, alternately. Oct. 18th. Great extension of membrane to both tonsils and uvula. Remedies as before, and in addition twenty grains Kali. Mur. in a tumbler of water for gargling every three or four hours. Oct. 19th. Tonsils and uvula thickly covered with dark. cadaverous-smelling membrane, which had also invaded posterior nares. Gave Ferrum Phos., Kali. Mur. and Kali. Phos., alternately, every half hour. Oct. 20th. Hoarse, croupal cough and great difficulty in respiration, showing that membrane had descended into the larynx. Membrane protruding from both nostrils, which exuded a thin excoriating ichor. Total inability to breathe through nose. Patient had several attacks of epistaxis (nose bleed) during night. Unendurable stench from mouth. For the nose bleed I put thirty drops of Crotalus Hor., iox, in water, and gave a teaspoonful three or four times. Remedies: Kali. Mur., Kali. Phos. and Calc. Phos. Oct. 21st. Several attacks of nose bleed; no improve- ment except that there was little fever. Remedies as be- fore. Added to the gargle one-third alcohol. The boy used this freely, as he found it helped breathing. Oct. 22d. Membrane beginning to soften and peel off from the anterior portion of the tonsils. But little epistaxis to-day. Continued remedies. Oct. 23d. Marked improvement ; patient spit out large sloughs of membrane. Continued remedies. Oct. 24th. Great improvement: no more nose bleed; boy able to breathe a little through left nostril ; though he The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 3 1 spit out a great deal of dark membrane, there is still plenty in trachea. Remedies as before. Oct. 25th. Tonsils, uvula and la^oix, as far as visible, clean ; no bleeding of surfaces ; both nostrils free ; still hoarse and talked with difficulty, but respiration easy. Remedies : Kali. Phos. and Calc. Phos. Oct. 26th. Patient practically dismissed ; when he got up he had paralysis of vocal chords and very great asthe- nopia, but Kali. Phos., 2 gr. four times a day for a couple of weeks restored them to the normal condition. On the fifth day of this boy's sickness his sister, six years old, was taken with the same disease. Ferr. Phos. and Kali. Mur. were all the remedies she took, as her at- tack was not so violent. I had eight other cases in the im- mediate neighborhood : none were virulent ; all treated and cured with Kali. Mur. and Ferr. Phos. There were ■ quite a number of deaths under "regular'' treatment. — Dr. A. C. Davis. Diptheria. — In fourteen cases of diptheria the bio- chemic measures left nothing better to be desired, Kali. Mur. rapidly making a change ; the whitish-gray exuda- tions being diminished, shriveling and coming away with the gargle and mouth-wash made with Kali. Mur., also oc- casional doses of Ferr. Phos. The treatment worked splendidly. In three cases the patients labored under pros- tration from the first, and Kali. Phos. had to be given in- ter currently ; in two cases Nat. Mur. alternately with Kali. Mur. , the chief remedy. In the latter cases there existed considerable running of saliva, heavy drowsiness and wa- tery stools No secondary affection resulted, such as fre- quently arise under ordinary treatment : as paralysis, de- fective vision or neuralgia. — Dr. Walker. Diptheria. — Son of H. T. L. Malignant diptheria, $2 Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts, temperature 104. pulse 140. Ferr. Phos., 3X, every hour, and Kali. Mur., 6x, every hour. Two days later kidneys involved. Calc. Phos., 3X, in rotation with the other. Temperature 99, pulse 100, throat nearly clean. Dropped Ferr. Phos. and Calc. Phos. and gave Kali. Mur.. 3X, and Xat. Mur.. 6x, and the next day discharged the case cured. — S. M. Kessler, M. J). Displacements, Uterine. — I have made a specialty of this disease (displacement) for a number of years, and my experience is. that the judicious use of Biochemic reme- dies, combined with the nightly replacing of the uterus, will give better satisfaction than any other system known. — Dr. y. B. Cha-pman. [His method of replacing is very simple, is accomplished by the patient unaided, and with a slight improvement is as follows, viz.. After retiring, take the knee-chest posi- tion, i. e., resting on knees with chest on the flat bed, not on pillow, with both hands draw the bowels forward, then insert one forefinger into the vagina and press up against the perineum (the tissue between the vagina and anus) thus tilling the vagina with air, which will operate as a cushion or tampon. Then gently lie down on the back if the displacement is forward, on the chest if it is backward, and with the foot of the bed elevated on blocks eight inches if it is downward. Turn to any natural position when tired. Do this every night, and if practicable at a forenoon and afternoon rest also ; certainly at one rest time in the day. To strengthen the ligaments, take Calc. Fluor four times a day, and during two to six of the most active hours of the day wear a pledget of cotton saturated with Calc. Fluor — ten doses to the ounce of soft water — pressed up against the uterus and held in place by dry sterilized wool packed in the vagina, but not uncomfortably full.

Other salts if indicated by complications. Keep bowels soft with' colon flush of hot water three to seven times a week] . Dysmenorrhea (painful menstruation). — Young lady, age 20, had been' troubled every month since puberty with almost unbearable pains in uterus, back and loins, begin- ning several hours before the flow and continuing two days. The second day hysterical fits came on, and on the third relief from pain. I found her almost mad with pain. Gave Mag. Phos. every ten minutes, and in an hour the pain ceased. Ordered two doses a day for three days. The next month ordered three doses the day before the period and every three hours the first day. Had but slight pain. Repeated the same prescription the third month ; no pain, and none since. — Homeopathic World. Dysmenorrhea. — Patient in bed, pains seemed unbear- able. Had been troubled so every month. I gave Mag. Phos., repeated in half an hour. In a short time she was easy.— D. Russell, M. D. Dyspepsia, Fermentive. — Nat. Phos., 3X or 6x, in fer- mentive dyspepsia will control it better than any one drug. —Dr. L. D. Forenian. . Ear Pain. — Mrs. B. had much swelling and redness and very severe pain of middle left ear. Gave Mag. Phos. and Ferr. Phos. that night with no good result. Next morning changed to Calc. Sulph., 3X, and the second dose gave relief, and in twenty-four hours the redness and swell- ing were gone. — Dr. D. Russell. . Ear Troubles. — I think it is the best remedy in the Materia Medica in diseases of the ear — Kali. Mur.

Steinrauf. Epileptic Convulsions. — A girl about 16 years of age. Convulsions began when menses first appeared, and harder and more frequently in spite of all remedies, until she' had them several times a da}*. My wife prescribed Calc. Phos. and Kali. Phos. in alternation. She took them, and never had but one convulsion after that, fully regained her health and is now stout and strong. — Dr. C\ JV. Cramer. Erysipelas of Face. — I have treated three very pro- nounced cases of erysipelas of the face and head with Ferr. Phos., one grain ever}- hour, and a cloth wet in a solution of the same constantly applied. Also used internally Nat. Sulph. I was surprised at the ameliorations of the disease. The cures were more rapid than by any other treatment that I have ever used. — Vv. E. Kinnctt. M. D. Erysipelas of Arm and Face. — H. B.. age 60, bruised left arm near elbow. Five days later pain and burning set in. On the seventh day when I was called, found arm ex- tremely inflamed and swollen, and by scratching it and his nose it had been transferred to the face. Xat. Sulph. and Kali. Mur. alternately every two hours. Fourth day itch- ing and pain gone, redness nearly gone, place scaly. Changed to Kali. Sulph. every three hours, and on the sixth day of treatment was well. — H. G. Merz^ M. D. Eyes, Inflammation of. — Little Etta B., age 2. Tin- ball almost a scarlet red, considerable pain and great intol- erance of light. Ferr. Phos. quickly relieved, and the third stage, with discharge of thick yellow matter. Calc. Sulph., alternated with Ferr. Phos., satisfactorily removed. —Dr. J. B. C. The Efficiency of the Cell-Suits. ' 35 Felons. — A dressmaker had a felon on right thumb. Ferr. Phos., I2x, every three hours promptly cured it as she thought, but much use caused its reappearance in three days with greatly increased pain and swelling. Kali. Mur. finished the cure at once. — Dr. J. C. Morgan. Feet Sweating. — A. J., age 16, had been troubled with foot-sweat for two months ; could wear his stockings only one day, and at night would be wringing wet ; the odor was something awful ; his shoes became so saturated with sweat, and the odor was so foul, that, when he took them off at night, one could scent them in any part of the room, and even in adjoining rooms ; his feet became sore and tender. I gave Sil., 3X, a powder three times a day. In a week his feet began to show signs of improvement, and in a short time were completely cured. — Chironian. Fever, Intermittent. — Mr. H., age 27, had chills every third day from 9 to 1 1 a. m., with violent headache, great thirst, followed by fever from about 1 p. m. to eve- ning, accompanied by great lassitude, increased headache and thirst, profuse, sour-smelling sweat, and loss of appe- tite. Twelve powders of Nat. Mur., 6x, failed to relieve. Then gave three powders of Nat. Mur., 200X, one every other night. Cured in two weeks, and no return of dis- ease in eight months. — Dr. C. R. J'ogel. Another Case. — Mrs. M., age 32. Sanguine tempera- ment, nervous and irritable. Chilly all the time, but worse about 3 A. m. ; great hunger ; fever at its height about 2 p. m. ; intense thirst ; short, difficult breathing and profuse perspiration Silica, 6x, a powder night and morning for one week cured. — Dr. C. R. Vogel. Fever, Intermittent. — Nat. Mur. will cure more cases of intermittent fever, both acute and chronic, espec- 36 Home Treatment with the Cell- Salts. . ially the latter, than any other remedy in the Materia Medica — Dr. Burt. Fever, Typho-Malarial. — Wm. II. , age 25. Tem- perature 103. 4 , pulse 99. Gave Ferr. Phos. and Kali. Phos. alternately every hour. Third day temperature 103 , pulse 80. Gave the remedies every two hours. Fourth day temperature 101 , pulse 80. Three days later temperature suddenly rose to 103°. Gave the remedies again every hour for three days, when it was under con- trol. Four days later he came to my office as well as ever in his life.—//. G. Jfcrz, M. D. Fever, Typho-Malarial. — Johnnie L., age 8, treated the first week with Baptisia ; second week, Ferr. Phos. al- ternated with Kali. Phos. ; fever gone on the twelfth day. Relapse three days later, cured in five weeks by Ferr. Phos. and Kali. Phos., with an occasional dose of Calc. Phos., with no hemorrhage, and very rapid convalescence. — John M. Reid, M. D. Fever, Typhoid. — Mrs. B., age 25. Had been sick two weeks, and given up to die by two prominent allo- pathic physicians. Had been kept on boiled milk for ten days. She begged for grapes and pears. I gave them as almost her sole diet for the next week. For her watery discharges every few minutes I gave Nat. Sulph. Kali. Phos. for weakness, emaciation and typhoid condition. Ferr. Phos. for fever, from one-half to one hour apart. When stools changed, gave Kali. Mur. Improvement be- gan at once, and she made a perfect recovery. — Wm. Chapman, M. D. Gall-Stone Colic. — Mrs. T., age 36. A paroxysm every other night for six months ; getting worse ; one to two hours of agony each time ; breathing hard and tight : face red and swollen : extremities clammy : pulse slow. The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. S7 Allopathic physicians gave morphine hypodermic injec- tions and wanted to operate surgically. I gave Mag. Phos., 2x, dissolved in hot water as a hypodermic injec- tion three times, and Nat. Mur., 6x, in teaspoonful doses every five minutes for an hour, then every half hour until she slept. The next day Kali. Mur., 6x, and next Nat. Mur. This day she had a light attack, which was stopped by one hypodermic of Mag. Phos. Three days later was threatened with another, which was warded off by simply keeping feet in hot water. No return of the disease,"" but continued the medicine about two months. — F. D. Bitten- gci\ M. D. Gum Boil. — Lily, 6 years old, had an ulcerated tooth with a well-developed gum boil. Gum boil would not go away, and wishing to see what the Tissue Salts would do for it, I gave her a Christmas present of a box containing about 125 tablets of Calcarea Sulph., 3X. They should have lasted her ten days or more, but they were sweet, and so the box was gone in three days. And so was the gum boil and ulcerated tooth. Neither have troubled her since. In this you will perceive a first-class recommendation for the Biochemic Tablets. They are pleasant to take. An old German lady once said to me respecting them, " These are the bestest pills I ever took." — Dr. M. F. Richards. Headache. — A lady subject to this affliction. Fre- quent ; worse in damp weather ; apt to occur the day after her weekly washing of clothes ; comes on gradually in morning and lasts all day. Symptoms : Hard, pressive aching with occasional heat in vertex ; markedly better on lying down ; vertigo on suddenly turning the head. I ad- ministered one dose, a five-grain powder of Calc. Phos., 6x, dry on the tongue, and the headache entirely disap-. peared in half an hour. — Dr. A. E. Barrett. 38 Rome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. Headache. — A rush of blood to the head, with a fiery red face, often vomiting, and is worse on stooping. Ferr. Phos. cured — //'///. Stemrauf, A. M.. M. D. Heart Pains. — Miss M. was seized with excessive pains of the heart, so severe that she lost consciousness. Under treatment the pains were somewhat mitigated, but remained severe at times for twenty-four hours. Magnes. Phos. gave entire relief with a few doses. A little soreness remained, but Ferrum Phos. cleared it up in a few hours. — Dr. . Heart Pangs. — I was called one night to see Capt. G , age 56, who was suffering severely with heart trou- ble. I found him with very weak pulse — forty-two beats to the minute — sharp, darting, intense pain< in the heart, so that he breathed with great difficulty. I mixed him Kali. Phos., 6x, in hot water. Immediately thereafter he began gulping spasmodically. Magnes. Phos., 6x, stopped it at once — he not making one single gulp after taking the remedy. Under Magnes. Phos. and Kali. Phos. in alter- nation the pulse rose from forty-two to sixty-four in ten minutes. The pains ceased, and he made a most rapid re- cover}*. Magnes. Phos. has frequently proven itself one of the best anti-p.sin and anti-spasmodic remedies known to the medical world. It not only does the required work promptly and effectually, but is entirely -harmless, leaving no train of after effects. — Wm. Chapman. M. I). Hemorrhage from Lungs. — The blood was bright red and coagulated almost as soon as discharged. Gave Ferr. Phos., 2x, rive grains every half hour. Results good. — The Homeopathic News.

The bones of the child's head were more perfect than those of his body. In eighteen months, another fine healthy boy was added to the family, she having taken the same treat- ment during pregnancy. After my first call to the dying fourth child, I was the physician of the family for ten years, but was never called for the two boys but once. The father died two years after the birth of the second. — A. P. Macombcr, M. D. Incontinence of Urine. — Three cases have been com- pletely relieved by the use of Silica — Dr . . Insanity, Occasional — Miss M., daughter of Dr. M., had suffered for several years from occasional attacks of insanity, which grew worse until it was thought necessary to send her to an asylum. A friend interposed and urged the trial of the Biochemic remedies. Kali. Phos., four doses a day, were given for weeks, and completely cured her. Several cases of a similar nature, two of them puer- peral mania, have been treated with equal success. — Schuesslcr . Influenza, — Mr. R., age 26. Bookkeeper; perfectly well in morning ; about 10 o'clock very tired and weak ; considerable sneezing and much lachrymation, with thin, watery discharge from nares. Temperature the following two days was 103 to 104. Great soreness of muscles, se- vere backache and bone pains, and pain in throat up to ear when swallowing. I prescribed the usual homeopathic remedies, Gelsem. and Euper. Per., but did not get any perceptible results. Discharge now a profuse, greenish mucous, with much accumulated in throat and mouth. I then prescribed Nat. Sulph., 6x, every hour, about five grains at a dose. The result was striking. In a few hours 4n Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. he felt so much better that it was with difficulty he was kept in the house. The following morning he- went to work, and has not been troubled any more with influenza. — Dr. II. La D erne. Indigestion. — Child 10 years old under doctor's car. i wo weeks without benefit. Had indigestion from over- study and worry, with brown tongue. Kali. Phos.. ^.\. every hour started her on the road to recovery at once. Appetite returned in twenty-four hours. Well in four days.— Dr. M. F. R. Inflammation of the Mastoid Cells — Mr. F.. age 30 years, had what he called neuralgia, located posterior to the left ear, pain constant of a cutting, darting nature. I called it inflammation of the mastoid cells, and gave him Ferrum Phos., 3X, and Silica, 4X, cautioning him to see me when the medicine was out. After a few days he said he was all right and needed no further treatment. Then in fifteen days he came back with a swelling as large as an orange, very painful and hard to the touch. I gave him Ferrum Phos. and Silica as before, and in a little over a month he was sound and well. — Dr. E. Jas. Milwain. Intermittent Neuralgia. — Mrs. S., age 49. Inter- mittent neuralgia ; lost rest several nights. I gave Mag- nes. Phos. in hot water every five minutes : pain gone in twenty minutes. — Dr. M. H. White.

Menorrhagia (Excessive menstrual flow). — Mrs. A., aet. thirty-four ; profuse menstruation of bright red blood every three, sometimes every two weeks, lasting from five to six days. Small, thin, anaemic ; face pale ; during the menstrual period just the reverse — face livid, ofttimes of a fiery red, with much heat and burning. Blood coagu- lates as soon as expelled from uterus, clotting in the vagina. Vomits everything she eats ; debility. Ferr. Phos. every two hours during the period, and night and morning for a week. This treatment was continued for about three months, when the flow became more normal, her complexion better, and she began to feel stronger and much improved in every way. — Dr. . Menstruation Delayed. — In young girls with flushed cheeks, headache and backache, so happy have been the results of use of Ferr. Phos. that it is almost the first remedy I think of in such cases. — Dr. Frances McMillan. Menstruation — Painful. — For the cramping in pain- ful menstruation Mag. Phos. has given me more satisfac- tion than all the Blue Cohosh and Pulsatilla I ever gave. — Dr. L. D. Foreman. Menstruation — Painful. — Young lady, age 18, had painful periods for five years. Her screams could be heard 44 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. two blocks away for nearly two days. Ferr. Phos. and Kali Phos. were given in alternation. The next period was nearly free from pain, the second quite free, and all other bad symptoms fast disappearing. — y. B. Chapman, M. D. I had a call from a lad}' who was the wife of an allo- path. Said she: "Doctor, I suppose you think it very strange for me to call on you for treatment when you know my husband is a physician, and practicing medi- cine also ; but, Doctor, I am troubled with painful and scanty menstrual periods, and I almost die every month, and I guess I would if it were not for the Morphine that the doctor gives me to numb the pain. I have met so many of my ladv acquaintances and heard them say that you gave them relief so quickly, I resolved to pick up the courage and call on you for some medicine for that par- ticular difficulty ; but you will do me a great favor by keeping this a secret, so that rriy husband won"t get hold of it." And I promised to do so, and I shall, unless he by chance should read this article, and if he should, I think it might set him to thinking and he would drop the Mor- phine and try the tissue remedies instead of making light of them. — G. L. Frecmycr, J\f. D. P. S. — Gave her Kali. Phos. and Ferr. Phos., which re- lieved her. Has been all O. K. ever since. Necrosis (Rotting of bone). — A lady had some teeth removed by a dentist, and instead of getting better, grew worse, and there was a continual discharge from the cavity. The gum around the bone was purple and offen- sive. I gave her Silica and Calc. Fluorica, 6x. In less than two months the discharge had entirely ceased, and she was much better. — Dr. Farrington. The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 45 Nervousness and Irregularity. — Mrs. K., age 32, very nervous, emaciated, weak, poor appetite, constant worry, menses profuse every fourteen days, acrid secre- tions, and cold and numb extremities; Cured in four weeks by Kali. Phos. and Calc. Phos. — Dr. H. P. Neuralgia of Uterus and Ovaries. — In such cases Mag". Phos. gives almost magical relief. — Dr. Frances Mc- Millan. Neuralgia. — Miss Margaret S., suffered from neural- gia, true nerve fibre pain darting through her head along the nerves. She had suffered intermittently for three days. Two doses of Mag. Phos. cured her completely. — Dr.— Neuralgic Headache. — Mrs. K had a slight hoarseness, but otherwise did not feel indisposed. She began her spring house cleaning rather early, worked in cold rooms, and what with the cold, dust, and hard work, was taken one afternoon with a high fever, accompanied with a severe headache. She took Ferrum Phos. and Kali. Mur. alternately in three grain doses every hour, and also several hot foot baths, and at night a cathartic pill. In the morning fever gone, but headache remained ; when standing, head seemed too full, ached on top, and all around base ; heat to the head seemed more relieving than cold. I took from twelve to eighteen tablets each of Kali. Phos., Nat. Phos. and Mag. Phos., dissolved them in two-thirds of a glass of water, and told her to take a teaspoonful every fifteen minutes until all was taken, or she felt relieved. In five hours headache was gone, and she was up and around the house. I should add that she took a hot foot bath and kept a hot water bag to her feet. — Dr. M. F Richards. Night Sweats. — Mr. P., a teamster, broad-chested, 4'> Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. strong and healthy, would wake in the night and find himself drenched with sweat. I gave him Silica, 6x, five or six grains morning and evening. A week later, and the sweats had left him and did not return. — Dr. Non-Assimilation. — Old man about 60. Dyspepsia, the doctors said. Emaciated, pale, swarthy : no appetite : restless ; bowels inactive ; stools sometimes light-colored, and at times costive ; tongue thickly coated with a brown- ish yellow tinge ; bitter taste ; conjunctiva a blueish white : skin wrinkled and bowels retracted and shrunken, shriv- eled, and a pain in the stomach of a burning character af- ter eating ; and from the general character of the case, as- similation was greatly at fault. The man had been, and was at that time, taking Argentum, in pill form, from a " regular," three doses a day, and had been for a year or more ; all to no purpose, except to hasten the emaciation. I at once put him on Nat. Sulph., 6x, three doses a day be- fore meals, and Kali. Phos., 6x, as a nerve remedy. These two remedies perfectly cured the •' ' dyspepsia ' ' and all the other troubles, so that in about three weeks he was a well man, the Nat. Sulph. correcting all the liver and stomach troubles, and the Kali. Phos. building up the nerve forces. — Dr. A. P. Davis. Orchitis (inflammation of testicles). — Mr. J. Caused by chafing from riding bicycle. Right testicle about four times normal size ; pulse over 100 ; Movement caused pain. Ferrum Phos., 6x, and Kali. Mur., 3X, alternately every hour.

Pain in Back, Cough, Etc. — A lady had pain in her back clear across just below the shoulder blades for several The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. m months ; also nervous, pain in lower lobe of right lung, and worrying cough. I prescribed Fe'rr. Phos. and Kali. Mur. with Calc. Phos. intercurrently. This removed the cough and soreness of lung, but the pain in back was worse. Learning that she had had a severe mental strain, I then placed her upon Kali. Phos., 3X, twenty grains in a glass half full of water, a teaspoonful every hour (equivalent to five grains an hour. S. H. P.) . This was repeated each day for a week, when her pain was entirely gone. — Dr. J. B. C. Paralysis. — Mr. J. D., age 70. La}' as if dead, with whole right side paralyzed. Gave one grain of Kali. Phos. every hour. In a few weeks was up and around, and con- tinues rapidly improving, seven weeks after attack. — W. E. Kinnett, M. D. Paralysis, Facial. — Henry K., age 24. Right side of face paralyzed ; walked with shuffling gait ; hands and feet cold, and would occasionally shake as if with palsy. Kali. Phos., 3X, and Calc. Phos., 3X, in alternation every three hours for two weeks, then Kali. Phos. alone. In three months is nearly cured. — Dr. C. R. Vogel. Paralysis of the Vocal Chords. — A young lady about 18 years awoke one morning, found that she could whisper only, otherwise she didn't think there was any- thing wrong with her. She consulted her physician, but received no help. After this I saw her. She didn't whis- per, but sometimes spoke hoarse. I gave Kali. Phos., 6x, about five grains in six spoonsful of water, to be taken every day. The second day improvement began, and soon had her voice again. — Dr. Wm. Lenz. Pemphigus (blisters on the skin). — A baby, age 10 months. Watery blisters covering all the genital region, and extending down the thighs and up as far as the navel, which were of various sizes, from that of a pea to a large 48 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. walnut. Upon breaking them they discharged a thin, watery, colorless fluid, and after collapsing left a dry but inflamed scar. A considerable itching, but otherwise health as usual. I prescribed Nat. Mur , 6x, fifteen' grains dissolved in twelve teaspoonsful of water Dose : One teaspoonful an hour apart, while awake. The blis- ters stopped coming, those present dried up and only scars remained. — Dr. J. B. C. Peritonitis and Ovaritis, Chronic (inflammation of ovaries and lining membrane of the abdomen) . — Mrs. E., age 38, had suffered thus many years. For a severe aggravation, Dr. G. H. Martin gave Ferr. Phos. every fif- teen minutes for two hours, then every hour for several days. She then removed, but after two years has never had the slightest symptoms of her old trouble. Piles. — Wm. S., age 28. Troubled for some years with bleeding piles, constipation, pressure of blood to head, flushes of heat, tongue mapped or covered with a grayish white coating. Calc. Fluor., 3X, and Kali. Mur., 6x, in alternation every four hours, with an ointment of Calc. Fluor., 2x, one-half ounce to vaseline two ounces, and ap- plied locally every night completely cured him in a few weeks. — The Homeopathic Nczvs. Pneumonia. — The worst case that I ever saw was re- lieved beautifully in a few hours after the best selected remedies had failed for days, by Ferr. Phos. There was complete consolidation of the left lung and of the lower lobe of the right with a strong tendency to complete of the right : temperature 103 to 104 ; most rapid pulse, and an agony of pain and rapid respiration. The fever left and the pulse steadied in a few days. Suppuration en- sued, for the Ferr. Phos. was not administered early The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 49 enough to prevent it, but he made a good recovery. — Dr. Pneumonia. — Robert R., a stout plethoric Scotchman, age 30. Intense inflammation of lungs, high fever, tight- ness of chest, labored breathing, dry skin, racking cough without expectoration, aching all over and a beating head- ache. Ordered hot sponge bath, hot injections, spice bag to chest, and Ferr. Phos., 3X, and Kali. Mur., 3X, four tablets (one grain) every hour alternately. The day af- ter the cough was loose with abundant white expectora- tion streaked with blood, perspiring, aching and soreness gone. These were the only remedies used, and the cure was rapid and thorough. — J. Ferris, M. D. Pneumonia. — I gave to a case of pneumonia Ferr. Phos., and could see the patient improving in ten minutes after the first dose. — Dr. II S. Philli-ps. Pneumonia. — A printer, 25 years old. Found him two days after attacked ; pulse 120 ; temperature 104.5 ; great pain in left lung, and an unusual amount of bloody expec- torations. Prescribed Ferr. Phos. and Kali. Mur., one grain each every twenty minutes. Five days later, tem- perature 98. 8°, pulse 68 ; no pain, and wanted food. No other remedies or external applications. — W. E. Kinnctt, M. D. Rheumatism. — All the joints of lower extremities very much swollen, very painful with slightest movement. Se- vere cough; tongue coated white; pulse 130 ; tempera- ture 1 04.5 °. I gave him Mag. Phos. and Kali. Sulph. in alternation every hour. In a short time discharged him cured. — Dr. J. H. Hoag. Rheumatism — Acute. — A young lady about 18 years of age, bed-ridden for a week with Angers and hands badly swollen and very tender, and feet inflamed. Pulse hard 50 Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. and full, tongue white, poor appetite, restless, great weak- ness and disturbed sleep. I prescribed Ferr. Phos. and Kali. Mur. in alternation, and Nat. Phos. intercurrently (/. e., occasionally), and Kali. Phos. at night. Two days later pains had left, swelling much less, sleep good and rapidly improving. Then she was told that it was wrong for a Christian to use medicines — should rely upon faith alone. I was called again a week later. She had re- lapsed, and in addition to the worse return of the former symptoms, she had a severe cough, with albuminous ex- pectoration, and water gathering around her heart. Or- dered the same treatment as before, with the addition of Nat. Mur. In twenty-four hours the gurglings about the heart had almost entirely ceased, the pains and swelling greatly improved, and she made a rapid and satisfactory recovery. — Dr.J.B. C. Rheumatism. — A burly German lying under two blank- ets and a feather bed, two feet thick. Intense pain for a week from near the hip to the foot, limb numb as from paralysis. Had not slept in three nights. Ferr. Phos. 6>, and Kali. Phos. 6x, four doses, in two hours and he slept. Scarcely any pain during the night. Treatment continued, and he made a quick recovery. — ■/. B. Cha-p- 7)1(111, I\I. D. Rheumatism, Inflammatory. — Mrs. S., age 72. Had not walked a step in over a year, and been treated by six- different physicians. Had to be rolled on bed in sheets, and would scream at any attempt to touch her. Could not move right arm or hand, only slightly some of" the fingers. I put her on Mag. Phos. and Kali Mur.. :\. and in a few months her only trouble was a little pain in stormy weather. Walks about and uses the arm as well as the other. — G. L. Frcoiic\C)\ M. D. The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 5 ' Rheumatism, Muscular. — Dr. Schlegelman was at- tacked while traveling by rail, pains very severe in right side. Bryonia and electricity failed. A single dose of Ferr. Phos. cured as if by magic. Rheumatism of Joints — Edward B., age 12, pains in all the principal joints, but mostly in elbows and wrists, which were red and swollen, and he had some fever. Gave him Ferr. Phos. dissolved in one glass, and Kali. Mur. dissolved in another, to be taken alternately, every two hours while fever lasted, then continue Kali. Mur. alone. In a few days he was able to be out. — Dr. Rheumatism from Getting Wet. — Robert D., age 34, lives on the bank of the lake, and. frequently got wet while fishing or shooting. He had pains about him for a year or two at times, sometimes in one joint and then in another. I gave him Kali. Sulph., several powders, one to be dissolved in water, a dose four times each da}'. In a few weeks his trouble was completely cured. — Dr. Sciatic Rheumatism. — A case of sciatic rheumatism that baffled the skill of two old school physicians all win- ter I cured with Mag. Phos., 3X, and Ferr. Phos., 2x. — Dr. D. Chiffcr. Sciatica. — A lady had been suffering for two weeks with an intense pain, extending the entire length of the sciatic nerve of the left leg : slightest motion would cause cramping in leg, such as to make patient cry out. Gave powder of Ferr. Phos., 3X, and Mag. Phos., 3X. Third day patient was much better, only slight pain. On the sixth day said she never felt better in life ; no pain what- ever ; was able to be up all the time and help about house work. I could not do without Tissue Remedies. — D. Russell, M. D. Semi-Blindness, Amblyopia. — Dr. F. S. McKibbon, 52 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. when 17 years old, became suddenly so nearly blind that with his best eye he could read a little with difficulty, not at all with the other. All objects were distorted and parts invisible. This continued, notwithstanding the best treatment that could be found, twenty-four years. Then Dr. T. J. Dean suggested the use of Calc. Fluor, 3.x, once a da}'. In two months he could read with his poorest eye, and ten months later his sight was nearly perfect. — Dr. J. B. Chapman. Simulated Angina Pectoris. — Had been treated in vain for ten years by other physicians. Short, darting, spasmodic pains. Yielded at once to Mag. Phos., 6x. — C. B. Claff, M. D. Skin Troubles. — Don't forget this remedy doctor. Kali. Mur. , when treating skin troubles of all descrip- tions. I use pounds of it every year. — Dr. Wm. Stci)i- raitf. Sleeplessness. — A lady suffering with a uterine tu- mor had had no sleep at night for three weeks. I gave two powders of Kali. Phos., each fifteen grains, and di- rected her to take one at bed time, and the other in an hour, if the first did not produce sleep. She slept after the second powder, and I saw her to-day, four days later, and she says she sleeps splendidly. — Dr. Soft Chancre. — I have cured two cases of syphilis, (chancres, soft ulcerous, sloughing sores). They were as rotten cases as could well be outlined, and Kali. Mur., 2x, and Nat. Sulph., 2x, were the principal remedies, and all that was used, except in the one case that was so bad that she could not swallow anything but liquids for two days. 1 gave her a few doses of Kali. Iodatum, 2x. Her teeth were so loose you could have picked them out with your lingers. I suppose I would have succeeded just as The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 53 well in the treatment if I had not used the Iodide, but in writing articles to go out before the profession I think we should be honest with each other, and give the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. The above men- tioned cases had passed through the hands of two of the old school of our city, and now look better and made a more rapid recovery than I was ever able to do before, although I have had quite a large experience in this line for the past twenty years. — G. L. Freemeyer, M. D. Sore Throat, with White Patches and Fever. — My little girl had a fever with sore throat and white patches in it. I gave her Kali. Mur. on going to bed at night, and the next morning she was much better, and the patches were all gone. A few doses completed the cure. — Dr. I. L. Peebles. Spasms, Muscular. — Dr. A. L. Monroe says that Mag. Phos. is doing noble work for him in the treatment of the agonizing pains that accompany these spasms. Spinal and Stomach Troubles. — Mrs. G. S., age 48. Morning frothy vomiting, excruciating pain in stomach, headache, melancholy, sleepless, with suicidal tendencies and two very sore spots on the spine. Wished to die. Many doctors had failed to give relief. Dr. T. E. Williams put her upon Nat. Mur. in the morning, an hour later Kali. Phos. Next hour, Nat. Sulph., and so on in alternation during all waking hours. Nat. Mur. was changed to Mag. Phos. when the lightning-like pains occurred in the head. She was perfectly cured in fifteen weeks. Stomach. — Burning in after eating, lasting till next meal time ; tongue light gray ; no thirst, bad taste nor tenderness ; bowels regular : sleep disturbed. Nat. Phos. cured — Medical Era. Stomach Sickness. — Sudden attacks of deathly sick- 54 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. ness, coming on at no particular time, even in sleep, and lasting one-half or one hour: appetite poor. Ferr. Phos. cured, and appetite became ravenous. — Dr. Rune. Stutterng. — A little girl, age four years, just recov- ered from convulsions, but was left with an impediment in her speech, which grew upon her. Her mother told me it dated from the time when she had the convulsions. I gave her Mag. Phos., 3X, a small dose four times a day. and one dose of Calc. Phos., 6x, in the evening. In three weeks she is entirely free from stuttering, except when excited or angry. I am continuing the remedies and hope to cure completely. — Dr. — • Summer Complaint. — Teething children prostrated with vomiting and diarrhea, eyes half closed, inclination to roil the head, are often helped by Mag. Phos. when other remedies fail. — Dr. Francis McMillan. Sundry Diseases. — I have used the Tissue Remedies (cell-salts) since 1874. Have had some very severe cases of LaGrififc this winter, but the worst have not lasted longer than one week. One of congestion of lungs with hemorrhage. Checked the hemorrhage in six hours, and the patient entirely recovered. Another had been under allopathic treatment four weeks with constant fever. Within three days after I was called her fever left, and at the end of a week she was about the house. — Dr. W. II. Mar can. Prof. Wm. Steinrauf savs to his brother physicians : — Doctor, study well Nat. Mur. In gastric troubles it an- swers a great purpose ; indigestion with vomiting of clear, frothy water, or stringy saliva, waterbrash, water comes up the throat, longing for salt food, aversion to bread. In constipation when arising from want of mois- ture ; excessively dry stool producing fissure and burning The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 55 pain in the rectum. In chronic skin disease you can't do without this remedy. In eczema from eating too much salt. This salt is indicated when your patient emaciates whilst he is living well ; all exudations and secretions are transparent, slimy, like boiled starch. We often find that this medicine does good work with such patients that are ahoays better at the sea-shore. When children, especially during summer complaint, have emaciated necks. When- ever a patient tells me, no matter what the trouble, that his or her backache is relieved by lying on something hard, this remedy is given. In chronic rheumatism of the joints it finds a place. In follicular -pharyngitis, espec- ially after our old school neighbors have been swabbing the throat with nitrate of silver, give Nat. Mur. and cure the patient without further delay. Thrush with much sal- ivation, it cures. Blisters, like pearls around the mouth, cracks in the lips, eruptions on the chin very often call for this medicine. In headache it finds a prominent place. T.he headache is what you might call a hammering head- ache, generally worse in the morning. Headache of school girls. I use it very much in old nasal and pharyn- geal catarrhs with loss of smell and taste, chronic catarrh of bloodless patients. These are but a few of the many conditions in which I have successfully used Nat. Mur. according to Schuessler. Suppression. — Clara V., age 17. Typhoid fever two months ; discharged bv physician with total suppression ; ankles swollen, perfectly useless and contracting muscles of knees so drawn that the joints formed right angles, and told that she would probably go into consumption. Dr. J. C. Farrell then took the case and gave Kali. Mur., 3X, every hour, and in just seven days her menses came on normally after seven months cessation. He then gave 56 Some Treatment with the Cell-Salts. Calc. Fluor., Calc. Phos., and Kali. Phos., and in two months she could walk ten blocks and back. Suppurations. — Young lady, age 16. Right foot fear- fully swollen and discharging excessively. The doctors said the foot must be amputated. Knee joint bent at a right angle. The mother reported the case to Dr. Schues- sler, who ordered Silica once a day. Three months later the patient walked to see the doctor with foot almost en- tirely healed. Another Case. — Orphan girl, age 14. Bone disease of foot. Time fixed for amputation. Dr. M. D. W. ordered Silica every hour and lotion of same on lint. So much improvement in five days that the operation was aban- doned, and in a short time she was entirelv cured. Swellings. — L. P. P., face swollen as large as a goose egg on left side. A year before had lost three weeks of time and paid his doctor $20 for treatment of a jaw injured in that place by the extraction of a tooth. I prescribed Calc. Sulph., three or four tablets every hour, and to stop work and go home. But he continued at work, and three days later reported, " I never saw the like of that in my life. I continued work, but took the medicine every hour, and before 10 o'clock the swelling was going down, and the next morning it was all gone. — Dr . II. S. Phillips. Svphilj s.^JLady, aged 50, with syphilitic ulcers on back and lower half of right leg. The left leg had had ulcers all around it just above the ankle. At this time it had one so deep that splinters of bone have been dis- charged, and another on which the flesh was hanging loose. The odor was something dreadful. Had suffered a hundred deaths with them. Been treated by every doc- tor in the county. Could not lie down, and could not sleep, except propped up with pillows. I gave Kali. Phos., The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 57 Ferr. Phos. and Silica for two weeks, when she could lie down and sleep. I then added Calc. Sulph. three times daily. The ulcers on back and right leg are now entirely cured. The flesh on the left leg has become firm and one ulcer healed, and she is well in every way except the re- maining ulcer. Will report as to it. To one and all I would say, Try the "Twelve Manner of Fruits" (cell- salts) for the •' Healing of the Nations. 1 ' — Dr. Wm. Mc- Innes. Tape-worm. — A boy, age five years, had spasm, and been treated by several physicians without benefit. After using Nat. Phos. 3x, for six weeks three times a day, he passed four feet three inches of tape-worm, much to the astonishment of all interested. It is believed the en- tire worm passed, as there was no evidence of an}^ re- maining. Nat. Phes. is especially efficient in cases of pin- worms. — Dr. A. C. Kimball. Tape-worm. — The characteristics of this case were : Great lassitude in forenoons, very sleepy in the early part of the night, sleep soundly until 4 a. m., when he would be awakened by keen-cutting pain in the bowels.and diar- rhoea, which would keep up for about three hours, and end in extreme prostration. After eating a little break- fast diarrhoea would cease, and patient would feel better until late in the afternoon, when he would be the same as in the morning. This kept up with great regularity until Nat. Phos., 3X, was taken. The next seance brought with it results in the shape of a twenty-six foot tape- worm, and the commingled emotions of surprise, disgust, and satisfaction of the patient, who had been unable up to that time to diagnose his case. Recovery was rapid. — Dr. JV. O. Brcnizcr. Teething. — Child, 18 months old, had cut but two 58 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. lower lateral incisors, and the molars of lower and upper jaw. Thin, poorly nourished, " pigeon-breast " chest ; hard to learn to walk, general lack of osseous develop- ment. Gave Calc. Phos., 3X, three times a day, thirty powders, corrected nourishment. Did not see the case again in three months, when I hardly recognized my scrawny patient, now a strong, healthy child. Had all the incisors, the molars and the ''stomach'' teeth were beginning to show. Continued treatment as before. Teething ■ — Child, 18 months old ; hot skin ; cheeks highly flushed ; sparkling eyes ; pupils dilated, and ex- treme restlessness and irritability. Ferr. Phos., 6x trit., in water every hour. The first dose had a decided quiet- ing effect, the child going to sleep shortly after taking it. and the cheeks becoming much less flushed. A few rep- etitions of the remedy entirely removed all the dental irritation. — Dr. Wilde. Toothache, Odontalgia. — Lady, face fearfully swol- len, no sleep for two nights, great pain. Ordered one grain of Mag. Phos. every half hour. Pain gone in two hours, and the swelling soon subsided. — IV. E. Kinnett, M. D. Toothache. — A young married lady, severe neuralgia and toothache for several days. Cocaine, morphine and other drugs had all failed, and she was almost crazy with the pain. I gave Mag. Phos. and hot fomentations, but she grew worse. Calc. Pho*. gave no better results. I then asked her to try cold water on the tooth, and rinding that it mitigated the pain I gave Ferr. Phos. for in (lamed nerve, and in half an hour she was asleep, and by con- tinuing the remedy she recovered. — /. />. Chapman, M. D. Transmitted Disease. — A little girl of three years. The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts. 59 with glands of neck swollen to the size of a hen's egg- Also glands under the arms and in the groins were greatly swollen, and had been more than a year Pale, anaemic, had cut teeth slowly, very constipated. Her mother when pregnant, had incipient consumption, but when the child was born, she was left healthy and strong. I prescribed Calc. Phos. and Silica, and occasionally Calc. Fluor, for the hardness of the glands, and after several months, she was perfectly cured. — -J. B. Chapman, M. D. Typhlitis (Inflammation of the coecum and vermi- form appendix). — Charles M., age 18, found in bed suf- fering intense pain and vomiting large quantities of green- ish substance ; pulse 125, with a temperature of 104 F. I found a large tumory swelling situated in the right illiac fossa. It was of a deep, reddish, inflammatory hue, and so tender and sensitive that the patient would hardly al- low me to touch the parts. My diagnosis was typhlitis, and well advanced at that. Vomiting was persistent. I placed in a glass two-thirds full of water thirty grains of Nat. Sulph., 3X, and ordered to • be given one teaspoon- ful of the solution until vomiting would be arrested, which took place at 10 p. m., or nine hours after I first saw the patient. I now discontinued Nat. Sulph., and placed the patient on Ferr. Phos. and Kali. Mur., thirty grains of each, dissolved in two separate glasses, two-thirds full of water; gave one teaspoonful alternately every hour. In a few days the swelling began to disappear. The medi- cine not given as often as before. His recovery in the end was good. — Dr. T. E. Williams. Ulcerated Sore Throat. — Symptoms high fever, rapid pulse, pain all over, sore throat with swollen tonsils, and deep, ragged, white ulcers, and very offensive breath. I gave Ferr. Phos. for the fever and inflammatory con- 60 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. ditions ; Kali. Mur for white tongue and ulcers, and a gargle of the same used frequently. This has been suffi- cient in all cases to insure a quick recovery. — Dr. /. B. Chafman. Ulcerated Tooth and Gum Boil. — Lillie, 6 years old. I gave her about forty doses of Calc. Sulph.. 3X, which should have lasted her ten days or more ; but she took them all in three days, and was perfectly cured in that time. — M. F. Richards, M. D. Urination, Fkequent and Painful. — In women, the attacks coming on suddenly, constant urging, with little relief, of nervous origin ; 1 have used Mag. Phos.. with most satisfactory results. — Dr. Frances McMillan. Urine, Suppression of. — A man 100 years old, that came under my care. This man had been sixt}- hours without any water passage. He had taken during the time about six ounces of Nitre, besides a large quantity of melon-seed and cuckleburr tea. When I was called I used the catheter and drew off a little more than one pint of blood. The next morning I drew oft another pint of pure blood . I gave remedies to con- trol the hemorrhage from the kidneys, but it did not stop it. The same day, at night, I drew oft' another pint. There was also a spasmodic contraction of the neck of the bladder, which I knew would have to be overcome before he could pass anything. The next morning I drew off another pint, making two quarts in all. I prescribed Ferr. Phos., 3X, about tour grains in a cupful of water. Of this I directed a teaspoonful every hour. I visited him again at night and the bleeding had all stopped. He was able to pass a few drops of urine. I then changed to Mag. Phos., 3x, and the next morning he could pass water quite freely. Then inflammation of the small intes- The Efficiency of the Cell-Salts, 6 1 tines set in with watery vomiting. The bowels were swollen very much, and were very tender. Constipation was present, with loss of appetite. I commenced the use of Nat. Mur„, 3.x, and Kali. Phos.. 3X, in alternation every hour. Twelve hours sufficed to control that trouble, and to finish up the case I put him on Kali. Mur., 3X. every two hours. I consider this a remarkable case in view of the age. — Dr. A. K.

Phos., 6x, four times a day gave relief in a week, and cured in four weeks. — Dr. CHAPTER III. THE BIOCHEMIC SYSTEM EXPLAINED. In order to an adequate comprehension of this system of cure, we must know — i. What Disease ("not at ease") is. To disabuse the mind of the reader of the life-long no- tion that disease is some entity to be expelled or to be killed, is one of the most difficult tasks of Biochemic teachers. In order to make the subject plain we will premise that there are two, and only two classes of disease. The first is primary, the other secondary. The primary consists of those departures from health which are the immediate re- sult of the lack of a sufficient supply of the organic blood foods, i. e., albumen, sugar and fat, or of the inorganic blood foods, i. e., the twelve cell-salts, or of water or of oxygen. The lack of any one of these seventeen elements of or- ganic life, to the extent that tha! deficiency interferes with and prevents its proper function in the animal body, is primary disease . The one chief characteristic of all primary disease (by whatever name it may be called in medical books) is that it is curable simply by the supply of the deficient element. The next important characteristic of all primary disease is that it is always liable by bacterial germination or inoc- ulation to become secondary. The chief characteristic of secondary disease is, its cura- bility depends upon the two-fold process of supply of the deficient el on en I and the destruction of the bacterial inra- The Biochemic System Explained. 63 ders by germicides in all cases in which the white blood corpuscles (which are the physiological germicides) are unable to annihilate them. The objection may be made, that according to this state- ment hunger and thirst are primary diseases. The answer is, So they are the instant they reach the extent of disturbance of the functions which food and drink normally sustain. Up to that point they are simply nature's signals for relief before damage is inflicted. It is very questionable whether there are any diseases that are not first primary and easily curable in that stage, for science has demonstrated that the leucocytes (white blood corpuscles) of perfectly healthy blood have the power to overmaster all forms of bacterial invasion. Pure blood is that which contains the twelve mineral constituents in. the right proportion. Microbes cannot LIVE IN SUCH BLOOD. The question arises here, naturally, why should defi- ciency of these salts ever occur? Answer: A failure to procure a sufficient amount of the proper kinds of food cuts the supply of cell salts off' at the fountain, or if dis- ease already exists, poor digestion or assimilation may waste even an adequate supply in the food. Again, some great excess of heat or cold, or some sudden and severe electrical change may make an unusual demand upon the blood and partially exhaust its supply too rapidly to be immediate^ restored by the food. So locally the circula- tion may be mechanically obstructed and thus have the same effect as if the food were inefficient, or as if diges- tion and assimilation w^re defective. Likewise cold, heat, overwork (mental or physical) or exhausting elec- trical changes may, in a limited area, produce the same result that an overdrain upon the blood does generally. c>4 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. It is with cell life just as it is with water drops turning- a wheel, each drop does its work in passing over the wheel then is gone, becomes dead to it, and other drops follow, and the wheel continues to turn by the constant succession of the drops. Suppose that the molecular movements of the water are so changed that it becomes steam, then dis- turbance occurs at once in the motion of the wheel be- cause it is not adapted to the new form of molecular mo- tion, and is out of harmony with the motive power. So disease is molecular motion of the cell salts out of harmony with the motive power, i. e., the life force, be- cause of a diminished quantity of one or more of the cell salts. It would be just as sensible to sledge off the flanges or buckets of the wheel to cure it, as it is to introduce into the human system agents that do violence to its organism. All that the wheel wants is water instead of steam. All that the body wants is enough of the cell salts to change their molecular motions into harmony with the life force and evolve new cells according to its own type of creation instead of a lower. Disease is not therefore an entity, a poison, a something to be killed or expelled by the use of dangerous substances supposed to have an innate hostility to it, in the interests of humanity ; it is simply a privation. It is true that after a time chemical products may be formed from the defective vital processes that may have a very positive and harmful effect, but these are results of disease, not disease itself. Then if effects need attention let them be antidoted upon precisely the same principles that the chemist does in his laboratory, always bearing in mind the different condi- tions which vitality imposes. " We no longer should dose man as a ivhole to cure him, The Biochemic System Explained. 65 but we should strive to interpret the nature of the cells forming his tissues, their activities, their reactions to drugs and physical treatment, and we should minister to these microscopic individuals or aggregations with a view to in- crease their natural functions in the prevention of disease, or create activities of this character." — Dr. Paul Paquin. There are but twelve primary abnormal conditions, though they may be called by a thousand names, and these twelve conditions are cured by the twelve cell salts. 2. What the Cell-Salts are. If an animal body be burned, the ash that remains is its indestructible mineral elements. These are eight in number, viz: Potassa, soda, lime, magnesia, iron, fluorine, sulphur and silica. But in the body — The lime combines with phosphorus, sulphur and fluo- rine, into three compounds, viz : Calcarea Phosphorica=Calcium Phosphate, i. e., Phos- phate of lime. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Calc. Phos. Calcarea Sulphorica= Calcium Sulphate, i. e., Gypsum, Plaster of Paris. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Calc. Sulph. Calcarea Fluorica=Calcium Fluoride, i. e., Fluoride of lime, Fluor. Spar. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Calc. Fluor. The -potassa combines with phosphorus, sulphur and muriatic acid, into three compounds, viz : Kali. Phosphoricum=Potassium Phosphate, i. e., Phos- phate of potash. Cell Salt abbreviation, Kali. Phos. Kali. Sulphuricum= Potassium sulphate, i. e., Sulphate of potash. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Kali. Sulph. Kali. Muriaticum= Potassium chloride, i. e., Chloride of potash. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Kali. Mur. 66 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. The soda combines with muriatic acid, phosphorus and sulphur into three compounds, viz : Natrum Phosphoricum=Sodium phosphate, i. e., Phos- phate!.ot soda. Cell-Salt abbreviation. Nat. Phos. Natrum Muriaticum=Sodium Choride, i. e., common salt. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Nat. Mur. Natrum Sulphurica= Sodium sulphate, i. e., Glauber's salt, sulphate of soda. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Nat. Sulph. The magnesia combines with phosphorus into one com- pound, viz : Magnesia Phosphorica =Magnesium phosphace, i. e.. Phosphate of magnesia. Cell-Salt abbreviation, Mag. Phos. The iron combines with phosphorus into one compound, viz : Ferrum Phosphoricum=Ferri phosphas, i. e.. Phos- phate of iron. Cell- Salt abbreviation, Ferr. Phos. The silica remains uncombined. Silica, i. e., Silicious earth, pure flint or quartz. Cell- Salt abbreviation, Silica. Therefore the Cell-Salts (mode of preparation of which will be explained a little further on) are to supply the deficiencies of these compounds, not merely of their eight mineral bases. These always exists in certain definite proportions in healthy human blood ; therefore they are natural and friendly to the system, while the remedies of all other schools are unfriendly to the body, and it is the effort of nature to expel them that produces their physiological action. 3. The Physiological Properties of the Cell-Salts, and their Particular Functions. As employed in Biochemic practice, unlike most drug The Biochemic System Explained. 67 medicines, they are neither very sweet nor sour, nor bit- ter, cathartic, diuretic, nor stimulating, but summed up in a single sentence, their properties are assimilative of the organic elements, sugar, fat and albumen. The body and all its fluids are made of the Cell-Salts and water as inorganic constituents, in combination with the three organic compounds, sugar, fat and albumen. But, though these may be in close juxtaposition, there can be no body-building without the mysterious life-force to originate and guide the process. This life- force acts upon the Cell-Salts, producing vital molecular movements in them, depending in character upon the quantity of the Salt acted upon, just as a certain number of vibrations of light produce yellow and another number shows as red. These vital molecular movements reveal themselves as affinities for organic substances. Each Salt has its own particular affinity, one for fat, another for sugar, another for albumen. These affinities thus set in play by the life- force, effect a chemico-vital union of each Salt with its appropriate organic mate, thus forming the cells, which are the base of all animal structures, and the aggrega- tions of which cells make tissue — bone tissue, fat tissue, etc., according to the nature of the Salt employed as the primary w r orker. If the quantity of a particular Salt be not sufficient to accomplish the purpose of the life-force, cell-evolution will go on notwithstanding, but on a lower plane, there- fore abnormal, because its lower type of organization un- fits it to perform the functions of the higher. The functions of the Cell-Salts may be stated more specifically thus : Calc. Phos. unites with aloumen for the replenishment of connective (glue forming) tissues, blood corpuscles 68 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. and the gastric juice, and also particularly of the bones, which consist of the lime which this Salt provides to the extent of 57 per cent, of their substance. In normal proportions it preserves against anaemia, re- pairs fractures, secures normal teething, and to some ex- tent supplies deficiencies of Mag. Phos. When deficient it permits the easily decomposing albu- men to act as a foreign substance in the blood, and be expelled in the expectoration as mucus discharges, or as albumen from the kidneys, or as pimples, or eczema of the skin, or as scrofula. It also causes indigestion ; head- ache with cold feeling in the head : thinness and softness of the skull, delayed closing or reopening of its fonta- nels (seams) ; dropsy of the brain ; aching eyeballs : nasal polypi ; cold in head with thick, tough discharge ; rheu- matism ; various teething disorders ; chronic enlargement of the tonsils ; constant hoarseness ; vomiting after cold drink ; prolapsus ; cough, with expectoration of albumi- nous, white mucus ; curvature of the spine ; numb, cold limbs ; bow-legs ; bone abscesses ; paralysis with creep- ing numbness and coldness : rickets ; night sweats in con- sumptions, etc.: Its chief characteristics arc: Worse by cold, motion. change of weather and getting zvet ; better by rest, warmth and lying down. Calc. Sulph. carries waste matters from the system by the organs of excretion, i. e., skin, lungs, kidneys and bowels. When in normal proportion it restrains suppurative pro- cesses and heals suppurations by removing their exciting causes. When deficient, it permits the epithelial cells to disinte- grate and with the wastes to be cast out as discharges or The Biochemic System Explained. 69 suppurations of a yellow, purulent character, or as crusts of the same, as in the third stages of all catarrhs, lung troubles, boils, carbuncles, ulcers or abscesses ; suppura- tions of the head, eyes, ears, nose ; watery pimples on face; ulcers of teeth, mouth, tongue, throat; diarrhea, dysentery with pus-like discharges ; chronic inflammation of bladder ; suppuration of the breast or joints ; all wounds in the suppurative stage ; all cases of suppuration when the discharges continue too long and the sore is un- healthy. Its chief characteristics are : Worse by getting wet, or by washing or working in water; also, the discharge of ■pus with an open vent. Calc. Fluor, builds the elastic fiber of the muscles, skin, connective (glue-forming) tissue and walls of the blood vessels out of albumen, water and oxygen. (Albu- men is a compound of protein, sulphur and phosphorus. Protein is a compound of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen and oxygen). Calc. Fluor, also controls the formation of the surface of bones and the enamel of teeth. In normal proportions it therefore preserves the elastic fibers intact, and in concert with Ferr. Phos. as an ele- ment of tonicity, secures their vigorous action. When deficient, the elastic fibers sag, and varicose veins, vascular tumors, hemorrhoids (piles), prolapsus, etc., occur ; or if an elastic fiber or lime exudation finds place in the connective tissue or the glandular system, it cannot be absorbed because of the deficient action of the minute blood vessels and swelling supervenes. Its deficiency also gives an unhealthy condition to the surface of the bones and the enamel of the teeth ; also causes tumors on the heads of young infants ; cataract of Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. the eye ; diseases of the bones of the ear, or of the nose. or jaw; also stuffy cold in the head with thick, yellow, lumpish, greenish discharge ; also makes the teeth very brittle, or loose in their sockets, or the enamel rough ; also gives cracked tongue ; elongation of palate ; piles : displacements ; coughs with tiny lumps of tough yellow mucus ; varicose veins ; chapped skin ; skin hard and horny ; hard swellings ; dropsy from heart disease, etc. Its chief characteristics are : Worse in damp weather, better generally by hot applications in hardened conditions, and by cold -when contraction is required; also relieved by fomentation and by rubbing. It is complementary with Silica; should be used when Silica is indicated, but fails to complete the cure. Ferr. Phos. is a constituent of the blood corpuscles for the double purpose of furnishing iron to the muscle-cells and of carrying oxygen to those cells. When in normal proportions it preserves the tone of the circular fibers of the blood vessels, and thus prevents vari- cose veins and hemorrhage ; preserves the muscles of the intestinal villi (absorbents) from relaxation and consequent loose evacuations ; prevents the muscles of the intestinal walls from weakening, thereby causing their vermicular (worm-like) action to diminish and constipation to set in ; gives contractility to the blood vessels that are over- charged in congestions, so that the irritation is removed ; and furnishes oxygen for the reconstructive process of cell building, whether of the healing of fresh wounds or replacement of worn out tissue. When deficient, the circulation increases in the effort to make the part do the oxygen carrying work of the whole, which more rapid circulation generates too much heat The Biochemic System Explained. 71 (fever) which causes a deficiency in potassium chloride, and as this salt works with fibrin, that cannot all be built into tissues, consequently remains as a foreign agent in the blood to be thrown off through the lungs by expecto- ration, or remaining in the lung inflames it into pneumo- nia, or is expelled through the nasal membrane as catarrh (Carey) ; also causes rush of blood to the head, headache, vertigo ; inflammation of the eyes, ears, mouth, tongue, throat, stomach, lungs, bladder and other pelvic organs ;. and hemorrhage of bright red blood, anaemia, etc. Its chief characteristics are: Always aggravated by mo- tion and relieved by cold. Kali. Mur. finds in the blood certain albuminoids (ni- trogenous substances) with which it unites and forms fibrine (blood-clot). (Care)'). Its function therefore is to change the nitrogenous ele- ment- of food into flesh, because fibrine is flesh as yet in a liquid medium. Prof. Stockois, at the last Medical Congress, at Rome, declared that k ' It can be chemically demonstrated that Kali. Mur. can both bind two atoms of oxygen and form ozone, and under different conditions of the system it can break up the ozone and thus make two atoms of oxygen available for the processes of life." What is this but practical storage of oxygen for emergencies? In normal proportions it preserves muscular weight and vigor. When deficient, the unused fibrinous elements are cast out in the form of fibrinous exudations, such as the false membranes of croups, diphtheua and dysentery, and the serous exudations containing fibrine in acute inflamma- tions of the pleura and peritoneum, and in the thick white discharges from mucus membranes, and in the white con- 72 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. tents of skin eruptions and the flour-like scales on the skin. The same material, failing to be organized into tissues, causes soft infiltrations (swellings), headaches with thick white coating on tongue ; thick white discharges from the eyes, ears, nose ; cankered mouth : gum-boils : ulcer- ated sore throat ; gastritis (inflammation of stomach), second stage ; sluggish liver, with constipation ; diarrhea, with pale yellow or gray-colored stools ; all thick, milky white, non-irritating mucus discharges ; rheumatism with swelling ; chronic swelling of feet and legs ; epilepsy : blistering erysipelas : glandular swellings, etc. Its chief characteristics are : Generally worse from mo- tion ; if in stomach or abdomen worse from pastry, rich or fatty foods; also from a highly albuminous diet. Kali. Phos. makes the gray matter of the brain out of albumen, sugar, oil, water and oxygen. It is also a con- stituent of the brain, the nerves, the muscles and the blood-corpuscles. Existing in normal proportions it maintains mental and nervous strength, and properly innervates (i. e., supplies with nerve strength) all parts of the organism. When deficient it ma)' cause any disease that will natur- ally result from deficiency of brain and nerve power ; and of course aggravate all diseases caused by the lack of other Cell-Salts. The range of its action, therefore, is almost universal. Its chief characteristics are: Worse by noise, by rising from a sitting position ; by mental or physical exertion, and in cold air. Better by gentle motion, eating, excite- ment^ or any gentle, pleasing, menial occupation. Kali. Sulph. carries organic matter — i. e., oil, sugar and albumen, especially oil — to the cells of the skin and The Biochemic System Explained, 73 mucous membranes, and thus vitalizes the tissues of the pores. When in normal proportions it keeps open the 7,000,- 000 pores of the skin, which are constantly throwing off the wastes of the system. When deficient, the skin not receiving a proper amount of oil, the pores schrivel, the excretion of waste matters through them is suppressed, and the blood thereby becomes poisoned. Its chief characteristics are : Worse in warm room and toward evening ; better in cool, open air ; yellow mucous discharges; always applicable in third stage of inflamma- tion. Mag. Phos. forms out of water, albumen and oxygen, the transparent fluid that nourishes and governs the deli- cate nerve-threads called white fibers. In normal proportions it preserves muscular tissues from undue or spasmodic contraction. As compared with Kali. Phos., the function of which is to supply the stimulus for contraction, Mag. Phos. acts as a regulator. When deficient, spasmodic action is set up in the form of cramps, jerks, and spasmodic pains. As compared with Ferrum Phos., a deficiency of which produces muscular relaxation, the deficiency of Mag. Phos. produces undue contractility, hence come twitch- ings, lockjaw, convulsions, choking on attempt to swal- low, squinting, sharp neuralgic pains, spasmodic stammer- ing, griping, indigestion, painful urination, dysmenorrhea, convulsive coughing, nervous chills , with chattering teeth, yawning with straining of lower jaw, etc., which are all Nature's cry for more Mag. Phos. Its chief characteristics are, as an a?itispasmodic : Worse 74 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. on right side from cold, cold air, washing in cold water and Jrom touch. Better by warmth, pressure, friction and bmdiug double. Nat. Mur. distributes water in right proportions to all parts of the system. About 70 per cent, of our bodies consists of water, which would be distributed only in obe- dience to the laws of gravitation, the propulsion of the circulation and the permeability of tissues by fluids, were it not for Nat. Mur. This Salt uses the water both to build up tissue and to carry off wastes, and as these double processes go on continuously in every part, its importance can scarcely be overestimated. In normal proportions it gives to all the excretions and secretions a proper degree of moisture or fluidity, and maintains the same in all the structures. When, deficient, there will be a decrease of secretions, or greater dryness of excretions, or two little water in the tissues ; as in sunstroke drying the base of the brain ; delirium tremens drying the brain substance ; delirium with tongue either frothy or dry and parched ; headaches ; melancholia, hopelessness, despondence with constipation and watery symptoms elsewhere ; loss of smell from dry- ness of the nose ; low fevers with dryness of tongue ; con- stipation with dry stools ; dry coughs and dry skin. On the other hand, the deficiency of Nat. Mur. may oc- casion increase of secretions, e. g., saliva or tears, or an increase of water in the tissues, e. g., dropsy ; also neu- ralgic pains in eyes ; fresh colds, with free discharge of water from the nostrils ; vomiting of clear mucus ; saliva- tion ; catarrhs with transparent watery discharge ; diar- rhea with watery stools ; excessive urination ; asthma ; bronchitis with frothy, watery mucus; palpitation of the The Bioehemic System Explained. 75 heart with dropsical swellings ; watery skin eruptions; ex- cessive sleep from too much moisture in the brain, etc. Its chief characteristics arc: Worse in morning, cold weather and salty air; better in evening. Nat. Phos. splits up the lactic acid formed in the pro- cess of digestion into carbonic acid and water ; also com- bines with acid into new compounds. The importance of this salt is shown by the fact stated by Bernard, that a very weak solution of acetic or lactic acid injected directly into the blood will cause death even before it is neutralized by the alkali in the blood. In normal proportions it gives the alkaline quality to blood and saliva by neutralizing the excess of acid that would otherwise exist from the fact that the creation of acid is an organic process and is never deficient, if a suffi- cient amount of proper food is taken. When deficient, it causes all diseases that spring from excess of acidity, e. g., inflammation of eyes with creamy discharge ; acidity of the stomach ; sore throat with creamy coating ; false diphtheria : morning sickness with vomiting of sour fluid ; ulceration of stomach with creamy yellow coating on tongue ; diarrhea with green, sour smelling stools ; inability to retain urine; trembling about the heart after eating ; rheumatic pains with sour smelling perspiration ; skin diseases with creamy yellow secretion ; diabetes, etc. Characteristic indications are : A moist, thick, golden- yclloiv coating on the tongue and pa/ate, and acidity. Nat. Sulph. eliminates excess of water from the blood and tissues, and preserves the bile in normal consistency. In normal proportions it prevents the accumulation in the tissues of the water that is formed by their constant ox- ydation ; also prevents excessive accumulation in the blood 76 Eome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. of the water that is held in solution by the air of respira- tion ; also prevents the accumulation in the digestive tract of the water formed by the decomposition of lactic acid. (Carey ) . When deficient, excess of water accumulates in the blood and causes chills ; the bile thickens, clogs the ducts, and produces biliousness, vertigo, yellow eyes and skin ; bad taste in mouth ; dirty greenish gray or greenish brown tongue, or a white or gray coated tongue ; diarrhea with dark greenish stools ; diabetes ; brick dust urine ; rheuma- tism with bilious symptoms ; lassitude ; consumption with yellow watery and green expectoration, etc. As related to Natrum Mur., which carries water into and distributes it in proper quantities through the system, Nat. Sulph. carries it out of the tissues into the excretory chan- nels. Its chief characteristics arc : Worse by use of water in any form, in damp weather, in the morning, and by lying on left side; better in warm, dry weather, and in open air. Silica mechanically promotes suppuration by the lan- cet-like action of its infinitesimal crystals, and is an elec- trical conductor for the gray matter of the brain. (Carey). It is a component part of the connective tissue, the epider- mis, the hair and the nails. In normal proportions it affects the brain, spinal marrow and nerves favorably through the connective tissue cover- ing of the nerve fibers. When deficient, it causes swelling of the connective tis- sue cells which may go on to suppuration, as in boils, fel- ons, carbuncles, suppuration of glands, joints, cornea ot the eye, and the like. It may also render the connective tissue of the brain so negative that thought becomes diffi- cult and despondency or headache supervene, etc. The Biochemic System Explained. 77 lis chief characteristics arc: Worse at night, during full moon, from chilling feet and in open air; better by heat and in warm room. An important fact to be' noted just here is the compen- sative function of these salts, i. e., by reason of their chemical affinities if one salt becomes deficient, it may be reinforced by drawing upon another that is chemically re- lated to it, e. g., when excess of brain work or worry has reduced the supply of Kali. Phos. it may be measurably substitutionally provided by the other phosphate salts, viz., Calc. Phos., Mag. Phos. and Nat. Phos. ; but that supply is inferior for the use of the brain, besides exhausting the stock of the substituted salt to such an extent as to inter- fere with its appropriate work. This explains how, by a sort of patch-work compensa- tion, one can live for many years notwithstanding the pres- ence of what would otherwise be a fatal deficiency in a particular salt, yet never really recover health, because Nature's effort to run the machine in spite of the defect en- tails other deficiencies that in turn may find other substitu- tions, and so on, until nearly every salt has become insuf- ficient. This also explains why the supply of the chief deficiency only so often fails to cure, i. e., because the other needs are not met. A balloon may have one main leak and five smaller ones, all of which together render it impossible to expand it, because they let off the gas as fast as it can be supplied. The largest leak may then be stopped, but still complete expansion can never be had and a safe ascent secured un- til all the other five are mended. So with the Cell-Salts. If one is at hard work, as well try to sustain the energies of the system by eating sugar alone, as to keep up the nor- 78 Homo Treatment with the Cell-Salts. mal health upon one or even eleven of these necessary ele- ments of organic life ; the machine is designed to work perfectly on twelve^ and all of them must be provided, for Nature cannot be defrauded with impunity, nor can she work her best on any other plan than her chosen one. The importance of the separate functions of the several salts will be fully seen when their use in the cure of dis- ease comes to be considered. 4. How the Cell-Salts Cure Disease. Simply by supplying the lack. The fever-pangs of excessive thirst need only water to be assuaged. The agonies of starvation require only rest and food to be subdued. The obtuse mentality and sluggish action of the vital organs in deficient oxydation call only for that life-inspir- ing element. So, whatever the particular phase of primary disease may be, resulting from a deficiency of a single Cell-Salt, the one only call that its symptoms make, is for the in- organic food for the lack of which the blood is starving. For example : Kali. Sulph. has been deficient until an eczema with dry itching skin is telling that the skin lacks its proper nourishment. To other schools of medicine that voice calls for nerve-quieting unguents and bacterial destrovers. If these remedies chance to contain the element for lack of which the skin is suffering, they may cure by virtue of that ele- ment ; but most likely they do not, and the disease goes on. To the Biochemist that voice simply says, "Give me Kali. Sulph." ; and it is done ; and if the disease is yet in its primary stage, its vitalizing influence cures at once. If The Biochemic System Explained. 79 it has reached the secondary stage, he must run the same chance of selecting the right germicide that others do, with still this great advantage in his favor : he supplies the need for nutriment at the same time that he seeks to destroy the germs which perpetuate the trouble. Take another illustration : Kali. Mur. is deficient : be- cause of it, the albuminous element in the blood which should be made into fibrine (lean flesh) cannot be, be- cause it is the special function of Kali. Mur. to effect that transformation. The albumen is chemically too unstable to go floating long in the moist, warm blood-current with- out putrefaction ; therefore, as soon as it fails to be built into tissue it becomes a source of peril, hence wise Nature seeks to cast it forth as waste material before it can do serious damage. If there is not oxygen enough to change it into urea and expel it through the kidneys, or if there is a local irrita- tion of the throat determining the blood to that locality, Nature will cast it off through the mucous membrane as an exudation which by infection may become almost in- stantly croup or diphtheria. Supply the needed Salt and the albumen in the blood is at once assimilated, and of necessity the exudation must cease for want of material. The seeming mystery of cures by such simple means should now be explained. Science has shown that the nearer the primary atomic form of matter any substance can be found, the more it becomes capable of penetrating other bodies. Hence the ether that fills space, as undoubtedly the nearest to atomic existence of any known substance, has a penetrating power that nothing can resist as proved by the recent discovery 8o Rome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. of the telegraphic ray, so much more potent than the X-ray. The crude Salts are always in molecular, i. e., aggre- gated form. The more they are triturated, the more they approach, though probably they never reach the atomic condition. It is therefore perfectly clear that triturations or dilu- tions from triturations are the only proper form for reme- dial use. Trituration consists in rubbing a Cell-Salt in a mortar not less than one to six hours with nine times its weight of sugar of milk, which is selected to be the vehicle for the administration of the Salt, because it is harmless, pleasant to the taste, occasions no chemical change in any of the Salts, and is itself an element of the living organ- ism. This makes the first trituration or potency, and is ex- pressed by the sign, if any be used, ix. The second trituration or potency (the words mean the same thing as far as relative proportions of the Salt and its vehicle go, but trituration is confined exclusively to the powder or tablet form, while potency applies to liquids and powders) is made, not by mixing one part of the mineral Salt directly with 99 parts of the sugar of milk but by taking one part of the ix and rubbing that with 99 parts of the sugar of milk one to six hours more. The difference in effect is very great. If the Salt were used by direct mixture for the second potency (trituration, 2x) , then it would have but the same degree of comminu- tion or breaking up into greater fineness as the ix, whereas by taking the one part of the ix of which to make the 2x, it undergoes double the amount of friction. The rapid diminution of the relative proportion of the The Biochemic System Explained. St mineral salt to that of its vehicle (sugar of milk) is seen by this statement, viz., the ix is salt one-tenth grain to sugar of milk nine-tenths of a grain. The 2x = salt i-ioo of a grain to 99-100 of its vehicle. The 3X = salt 1-1,000 of a grain to 999-1,000 of its ve- hicle. The 4X = salt 1-10,000 of a grain to 9,999-10,000 of its vehicle. The 5X = salt 1-100,000 of a grain to 99,999-100,000 of its vehicle. The 6x = salt 1-1,000,000 of a grain to 999,999-1,000,- 000 of its vehicle. The 7x = salt 1-10,000,000 of a grain to 9,999,999- 10,000,000 of its vehicle. The 8x = salt 1-100,000,000 of a grain to 99,999,999- 100,000,000 of its vehicle. The 9X = salt 1-1,000,000,000 of a grain to 999,999,- 999-1,000,000,000 of its vehicle. The iox = salt 1-10,000,000,000 of a grain to 9,999,- 999,999-10,000,000,000 of its vehicle, and soon to the de- sired potency, if any higher be deemed advisable. The thought naturally arises, how can such infinitesi- mal quantities of any food such as is represented by the 6x have any effect whatever upon the vital processes ? The answer may be found in the following facts, viz : Scientists estimate that one milligramme (i.e., the thous- andth part of a French gramme, which gramme equals 15.438 grains troy, the 1-1,000 part of which is .0154 of one troy grain) of any substance contains sixteen trillions (16,000,000,000,000 French ; the English would be 16,- 000,000,000,000,000,000) of the ultimate molecules of that substance, or 2,464,000,000,000,000 molecules to each troy grain. 82 Howe Treatment with the Cell-Salts. The 6x salt contains in one grain one-millionth of a grain of the salt, i. e., 2,464,000,000 of its atoms. As the dose consists of three grains, there are therefore in each dose of the 6x, 7,392,000,000 atoms — a respectable num- ber certainly. But this alone does not meet the question. We must know also, at least to a reasonable degree of probability, how many atoms are requisite to supply deficiency. This in turn must depend upon the amount of the deficiency. This raises the question of dosage. It would add greatly to exact knowledge concerning it if we could know precisely the line of demarkation be- tween the physiological hunger for a deficient salt, and the pathological disease indications that the hunger has not been satisfied. It is altogether probable that a certain defi- nite percentage of waste beyond supply is that line, but ex- periments have never settled it, even if they have been at- tempted. Knowing the quantity of the salt, and assuming a pro- portionate waste, if we knew the percentage which makes the line between salt-hunger and disease from lack of the salt, we could calculate accurately the amount to be sup- plied, and the dosage would then be very simple. In our ignorance of that we can only show by a mathe- matical process the certainty of being able to supply all probable deficiency. On the fair assumption that the infant appropriates all the iron each day that its one quart of milk food contains, i. e., one milligram to each half pint, there are supplied to its 4,115 drops of blood each day 8,333,333,333 molecules of iron or 347,222,222 each hour, which is 86,809 atoms to every drop of blood, or 357,219,035 atoms at any one hour. The same milk contains but one-billionth of a grain The Biochemic System of fluorine, while of the iron there is six-millionths of a grain. It is fair to assume that the reduction in ordinary food from the working to the bare subsistence standpoint repre- sents all the privation that the system can endure without detriment. This is 48 per cent. Anything below must be disease-producing. This per cent is equivalent to the loss of 171,466,136 atoms, which would be supplied by one- forty-second part of a three-grain dose of the Ferrum Phos. Now if the loss in any disease be even forty-two times greater than the diminution from the work to the subsis- tence standpoint, even then a single three-grain dose would supply the deficiency. This proves conclusively that the infinitesimal quantities of the 6x are abundant to supply the losses which produce disease. As further illustrations of the power of infinitesimals : The one-thouasndth part of a grain of strychnia will pro- duce tetanus in frogs. — Dr. Arnold, of Heidelberg. He has seen this result repeatedly from one-millionth of a grain. — Hygieia, Vol. A\p.j6. Professor Stokvis, in an address given at the Medical Congress in Rome,' made use of the following example : " If we throw metallic copper into water and wait for some days, we shall find that a certain proportion of the copper has dissolved, i. e., one part to seventy-seven million parts of water " (about one drop to three barrels of water) , aiid Dr. Walker adds : ' ' Drinking such water may produce vomiting, diarrhea, etc." Spallanzani fertilized a frog's egg with 1-2,984,687,500 part of a grain of the seminal fluid of frogs. It has been estimated that a cubic inch would contain 125 sextillions of bacteria or, in other words, 125 followed by twenty-one cyphers. Yet each one is a living thing. 84 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. Let us take another view : Analyses show that three and a half ounces of blood cells contain normally the mineral constituents in these proportions, viz. : Iron phos., 0.998; potass, sulph., 0.132; potass, chloride, 3.079 ; potass, phos., 2.343 ; sodium phos., 0.633 5 sodium chloride, 0.344 ; calcium phos., 0.094 ' ma g- phos, 0.060, which stated relatively to each other in percentages is, iron phos., 12.98; potass sulph., 1 .7 1 ; potass, chloride, 40.07 ; potass, phos., 30.50; sod. phos. 8.23 ; sod. chlor., 4.47 ; cal. phos., 1.22 ; mag. phos., .78. The ascertained waste of all the Cell-Salts is about one ounce every 24 hours. The average is 8-10 of an ounce, or 384 grains, which is 16 grains per hour, or a total of 256,000,000,000,000 atoms each hour. These, distributed according to the proportions existing in the system would give as the normal loss per hour : Ferr. phos 33,280,000,000,000 Atoms. Pot . sulph . , 4,35 2,000,000,000 Pot. chor 102,400,000,000,000 Pot. phos 78,080,000,000,000 Sod. phos 21,120,000,000,000 Sod. chlor 11,520,000,000,000 Cal. phos 3,072,000,000,000 Mag. phos 2,048,000,000,000 Nearly all diseases are local in their origin, i. e., when from lack of iron congestion begins, not over one thou- sandth part of the body is involved at first. The thousandth part of the iron molecules in the body equal 33,280,000,000, the deficiency of which, if esti- mated at 10 per cent, below the difference between work- ing and subsistence diet (which is 48 per cent.) would be 1,597,440,000 molecules, which would be replaced by 2-10 of one dose of Ferr. Phos. The Biochemic System Explained. 85 The above showing of the relative wastes of the Salts, very strongly suggests the propriety of dosing them rela- tively somewhat in proportion to their probable loss, but more investigation is needed in this direction. But the objector says : " Certainly the higher potencies, the two hundredth for example, can contain no drug, it must be trituated all away." Answer: Doubtless, this is true of organic substances, but cannot be of the inde- structible inorganic Salts, for what fire cannot burn away, the mortar cannot triturate away. True, Dr. D., in the Homeopathic News, says, that "it disappears in the eighteenth trituration." Whether this be true or not, abstractly considered, as a practical ele- ment, it is doubtful whether it exists beyond the tenth, although there is satisfactory evidence to show that some- thing cures even in much higher potencies. There are supposed to be more than 1,200 million cells in the brain and spinal cord alone, each cell built up by these wonderful processes of Cell-Salt action. The life of a blood corpuscle is supposed to be about six weeks. What that of other tissue cells is we know not, but these amazing changes going on continuously without a break through life show to the reflective mind the boundlessness of the wisdom that planned the struc- ture, and the ceaseless watchfulness and power of the Providence that secures its perpetuity. CHAPTER IV. THE INDICATIONS OR SYMPTOMS THAT CALL FOR THE USE OF EACH CELL- SALT. Under many symptoms two or more remedies are named. When this is the case, the one should be employed whose physiological properties as given in chapter III best agree with the particular help that nature needs, e. g., boils. Ferr. Phos., Kali. Mur., Calc. Sulph., Silica. When heat and pain indicate congestion, Ferr. Phos. When swelling sets in, Kali. Mur. To prevent suppuration, Calc. Sulph. This proving unavailing, to hasten suppuration, Silica. Hence the practical rule should be : When two or more Salts are named for one symptom, give the one most strongly indicated, and if that fails, the next, and so on successively, or in alternation. .The following Combination Table is taken from Dr. Walker's work, and was prepared by Professor Carnelly, an eminent doctor of science, and is believed to be very accurate. For the sake of brevity numbers are attached instead of the names of the Salts : No. i. Calcium Phosphate may be combined (taken with) with Nos. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and 12. No. 2. Calcium Sulphate with Nos. 1 , 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 and 12. No. 3. Calcium Fluoride with Nos. 1, 2, 5, 9 and 12. No. 4 Ferric Phosphate with Nos. 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 1 1 and 12. No. 5. Potassium Chloride with Nos. 1 , 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12. The Indications or Symptoms, Etc. 87 No. 6. Potassium Phosphate with Nos. 1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10 and 12. No. 7. Potassium Sulphate with Nos. 2, 5, 6, 8, 11 and 12. No. 8. Magnesium Phosphate with Nos. 1, 4, 6,7, 9, 10, 1 1 and 12. No. 9. Sodium Chloride with Nos. 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 11 and 12. No. 10. Sodium Phosphate with Nos. 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11 and 12. No. 11. Sodium Sulphate with Nos. 2, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12. » No. 12. Silica with all. It will be noticed that the phosphates combine with each other ; so, also, do the sulphates, and the chlorides and flu- orides, while silica combines with all. Do not forget that the special locality of the trouble is of no account in selecting a remedy only as it affords an opportunity for a symptom to be revealed, i. e., conges- tion whether in eye, throat, stomach, bqwels, kidney, bladder or foot, calls for Ferr. Phos. ; and so of all the Salts — they are all constitutional, not local merely. Dosage. — While making the suggestion on a previous page of the advisability of dosing the Salts somewhat ac- cording to their relative waste within a specified time, it is deemed best to adhere in this book to the customary three grain dosage, to be administered one to four times a day in chronic cases, and from once in ten minutes to once in two hours in acute cases, being governed by the violence of the symptoms. Mag. Phos. should usually be given in hot water in acute cases. 88 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. All the other Salts should be also when a very speedy ef- fect is desired. When more convenient, the tablets or powder may be dissolved in water and given in spoonful doses, being care- ful to dissolve three grains for every teaspoonful prepared. Tablets of this size W are one grain. Tablets of this size Hp are three grains. The Salts may be advantageously employed externally whenever so prescribed by dissolving one dose of the Salt to every teaspoonful of water used for the lotion. Apply with a compress, and cover to prevent too rapid evaporation. The powder, or tablets pulverized, may also be made into, an ointment with olive oil or vaseline and used in ap- propriate cases. No classification can be made that will not contain the same symptom, under different divisions, and thus duplicate the symptoms, e. g., neuralgia in the head, would natur- ally be found under head, nerves and pain, but in this book, the first principle of classification being the functions and the second the organs, it will fall under Pain, and if not found there, under the organs, i. e., IVerves, instead of in all three places, and thus save expense.

DIET. The influence of material substances upon the brain is strikingly illustrated by the statement, that the Arabs ma- nipulate their hasheesh so that there are some establish- ments where the peculiar quality is sold that makes a man' sing, and others where the effect is to produce continuous laughter, while another preparation causes visions, either of a delightful or a horrible character, according to the quantity ; and when the drug is taken at a certain strength, the fiercest and most self-ignoring homicidal tendency is developed, whence the derivation of the word " assassin " from hasheesh. The medical superintendent of an insane asylum affirmed his ability to change the mental condition of his patients in a similar way, solely by changing their diet. The diet question, therefore, is one of supreme impor- tance, by which is not meant either oatmeal hobbyism, vegetarian exclusiveness, nor the asceticism which denies a good thing because it pleases the palate. It starts with the proved facts, that human foods are di- visible into four groups, called respectively, protein (i. Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 275 albuminous or nitrogenous), fats (meat and fish fat, butter, vegetable oils) , carbohydrates (C. H. O., corn-starch, su- gar, gums, jellies and fruit acids ) , and mineral salts. Each group has its own work to perform, like four mechanics building and running an intricate machine. Mr. Protein is a man of all trades, and can do his own appropriate work or that of either Mr. Olleum or Mr. Carbo, but not the work of Mr. Salts. Mr. Olleum and Mr. Carbo can either of them do the work of the other, but not the work of Mr. Salts or Mr. Protein. Mr. Salts can do his own work ovly . It is evident, therefore, if there is to be any material deficiency m the service of these men, it is better that it should be in that of Mr. Olleum or Mr. Carbo, because there will then be a better chance to have it supplied by the others. It is further evident that any deficiency in the work of either Mr. Protein or Mr. Salts must remain unsupplied. It so happens that their work is not only of relatively greater importance than the other two, but is absolutely necessary, while that of the other two can be dispensed with to a certain extent. Mr. Protein furnishes nearly all the frame work, the ropes, pulleys, etc. Mr. Salts fits the parts to each other in working order. Mr. Olleum and Mr. Carbo furnish fuel and padding. Now, it is easy to see that if the frame work is defective, or the parts not properly adjusted to each other, the defect is very serious, while a limited lack of fuel or padding can be supplied by Mr. Protein. Scientific investigations have settled the relative amounts of the different groups of food elements as (when estimated dry), protein 4.2, fats 1.8, C. H. O. 18. salts f ounce, needed every twenty-four hours for a man at moderate work. 276 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. Females require two-tenths less in the same circum- stances. The amount of force generated by this food in the same time, expressed as heat, is 3,500 calories, a calory being the amount of heat that will raise one pound of water 4 F. The proteids are albuminoids, i. e., nitrogenized sub- stances, represented in the blood by fibrin or liquid flesh, chemically the same as the white of egg and the gluten of wheat. If, then, these are deficient the tissues waste, the gastric fluid is impaired, and the nerves lose their tone. When the fats and C. H. O. are deficient the working force and resisting power of the system against cold both diminish. When the salts are deficient the material pro- vided cannot be built together into the machine. In disease one or more of the functions of these food ele- ments are disturbed, e. g., in consumption, marasmus, mal- nutrition, and fevers, the tissues waste for want of protein. In long-continuud abstinence the fats that are stored in the system are burned as fuel, as in the case of the hibernating period of the bear, who retires in the fall sleek and fat, but wakes in the spring lank and ravenous, having consumed his stock of fat-fuel. The fats are also stored in the system as cushions for the mechanical machinery as well as a reservoir of fuel for fu- ture emergency. The C. H. O. group consists of starches and sugars. Sugars consist of cane or table sugar, grape or fruit sugar, and milk sugar. The last two are ready for immediate ab- sorption, but the cane sugar must be digested. It is the misfortune of the people that modern cookerv provides a large excess of fats, starches and sugars, and a corresponding deficiency of proteids and salts. The result is that the sugars and starches are first consumed in the Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 277 system, using up the oxygen of respiration and that con- tained in food and drink to such an extent that there is not enough left with which to transform the proteids into tis- sue, thus leaving in the warm blood current the easily de- composing nitrogenous substance, which becomes an im- mediate and constant source of disease. A further result is a deficiency of the protein element, with its consequences as above stated. Little more can be done in this book than to enunciate the general principles of the subject, and this can best be done in the form of separate statements without regard to direct logical connection. Some eat themselves into disease by an over supply of nutriment. Hundreds of thousands do the same thing by the use of food disproportioned in its elements. Thousands upon thousands slip from acute disease into chronic invalidism by semi-starvation, in which the stom- ach shrinks to the insufficient supply and becomes inca- pable of handling an adequate amount. A certain amount of oxygen is absolutely essential to the digestion of a given amount of food. i. e., the oxygen ob- tained from the inspiration of seventeen cubic inches of air for each ounce of food. Therefore, if the respiratorv power is diminished, as in consumption or from any other cause, the food must be reduced to a corresponding degree. If the food consumed is insufficient to maintain the strength, vet is all that can be digested with existing respi- ratory capacity, then the remedy lies not in digestants nor tonics, but in i 'n creased respirations. A table of lung capacity, computed from 5,000 obser- vations of Hutchinson and the gymnasium record of 2,300 Amherst students, is here inserted. 2 7 S Home Treatment with the Cell- Salts.

If the disease be in the stomach, the proteids that are allowed should be in fluid form and the main dependence for nutrition should be placed upon the fluid proteids and the fats and starches. In severe cases enemas of fluid pro- teids are necessary. If the disease be in the digestive tract below the stom- ach, the sugars and starches should be given sparingly, if at all, and the main reliance' be placed upon the nitrogen- ous foods digested in the stomach. Beef tea and the beef extracts of the market are useful as stimulants, but of no value as direct nutrients, accord- ing to Baron Liebig, Sir William Roberts, Dr. Milner Fothergill, Prof. Chittenden and others. In selecting the food appropriate for the sick, the above principles should guide. A list of serviceable foods is here subjoined. In f-electing from this list, or from other sources of sup- ply, effort should be made to procure that which is chemi- cally appropriate, and at the same time physiologically Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 279 suited, i. e., agreeable to the appetite and not opposed to any personal idiosyncracy — such as constitutional aversion or uniform unfavorable effects from use. The most convenient proteids are cheese, peas, beans, lentils, meats, poultry, fish, eggs and cereals. The most convenient fats are butter, cream, fat meats, vegetable oils, nuts, corn and oats. The most convenient C. H. O are starch, sugar, rice, potatoes, cereals, peas, beans, lentils, garden vegetables and fruits. Prepared Foods. Avenola.

" For making bread from the flour of the entire wheat, take two quarts of umifted entire wheat flour, a little less than a quart of warm water, one-half cup of sugar (or less if desired), one-half cake of compressed or ordinary dry yeast, and-a little salt. Dissolve the yeast in part of the water, mix sugar, flour and salt, and add the yeast and the remainder of the water. Stir well and set in a warm place. When the dough has risen to twice the original amount, stir down and put in tins for baking, allowing it to rise a second time. This bread requires longer and slower bak- ing than ordinary white bread. This quantity makes two loaves of bread of ordinary size/ 1 — Prof. L. M. Under- wood, Columbia College, New York. Another method is : One pint whole wheat flour, one pint milk and one egg, mixed and poured into hot gem pans and baked in a hot oven thirty minutes. Fruits axd Nuts are not strictly prepared foods, yet they are so healthful, convenient and adjustable that a brief outline of their utility is in place. Dr. Dupoury, of Paris, divides fruits into five classes, viz. : 1. The Acid, i. e., cherries, strawberries, gooseberries, peaches, nectarines, apples, lemons, oranges, limes and pineapples. 284 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. 2. The Sweet, i. e., plums, grapes, raisins, prunes, pru- nels, rigs, dates and huckleberries. 3. The Astringent, i. e., persimmons, pomegranates, cranberries, blackberries, sumachberries, dewberries, rasp- berries, barberries, quinces, pears, wild cherries and med- lars. 4. The Oily, i. e., olives and cocoanut. 5. The Mealy, i. e., bananas, and some apples. Not having his distribution of fruits under this classifi- cation at hand, I have ventured to make it as above. Oranges, figs, prunes, mulberries, dates, plums, and some pears are laxative because of their relaxant proper- ties. 1. Strawberries and raspberries are excellent for the bilious and for the plethoric and gout}^. Cherries not good in neuralgia of stomach. The juciest apples are more digestible than the mealy. Oranges, the juice of two before breakfust, good to starve the doctors. Lemon, lime and pineapple juice good for diphtheria. Lemon juice good for gout. "Apples excite the action of the liver, promote sound and healthy sleep and thoroughly disinfect the mouth ; also agglutinate the surplus acids of the stomach, help the kidney secretions, and prevent calculous growths, while they obviate indigestion and are one of the best preven- tives known of diseases of the throat." Eight ounces of apples with twelve ounces of entire wheat bread make an admirable meal at quite moderate work. The addition of Dutter tits it for more active labor. "The English medical journal, The Lancet, gives the case of a child three years of age, ill eighteen months, blind, covered with ulcers from head to foot, in constant Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 285 pain, pronounced incurable by eight eminent physicians, put by the ninth on a diet of ripe fruits and sugar or honey. In three days began to improve, in a few more opened his eyes for the first time in over a year, and at the end of three and a half months was pronounced cured." — H. M. Poole. Cholera infantum has been treated successfully by send- ing the little patients to peach orchards to live. 2. Plums prevent gout and articular rheumatism. The grape cure for the anaemic, dyspeptic, consumptive, the bilious and the gouty. Huckleberry juice excellent in fever. 3. The astringent fruits are especially useful in loose- ness of the bowels. Juice of raw cranberries, diluted, good in typhoid fever. 4. Olive oil especially useful for defects of the excretory ducts of the skin. 5. Bananas are much like potatoes in food value. Mealy apples are richer in nutriment than others. Fruits should be eaten at the beginning of a meal, or between meals. According to Dr. Sophie Lepper, the English food spec- ialist — "Almonds, blanched, give brain and muscle food with no heat or waste. (This is a mistake. Each ounce gives 177 calories of heat. — S. H. P.) "Apples give nerve and muscle food, but do not give stay. (They contain more phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetable. — S. H. P.) "Figs, dried, give nerve and muscle food, heat and waste, but are bad for the liver. " Grapes, green, water, of little food value, but blood purifying. 286 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. " Grapes, blue, feeding and blood purifying ; too rich for bad livers. " Lemons, thinning and cooling ; not good for daily use in cold weather. " Oranges, refreshing and feeding ; not good if liver is out of order. "Pine kernels, give heat and stay; serve as a substitute for bread. •'Prunes, give nerve and brain food, heat and waste; not muscle feeding, and bad for liver. "Raisins, are stimulating in proportion to their quality. "Small seed fruits (fresh), are mostly laxative. " Stone fruits, are not good for liver troubles. "Tomatoes, have the same effect as lemons. " Walnuts, give nerve and muscle food, heat and waste."' Pineapples, olives and apples aid digestion. Vegetables contain so much woody fiber that they re- quire very strong digestive fluids and muscular contrac- tions for their digestion, and after all they contain vtry little nutritive substance.

The tubers, parsnips, beets, turnips, and sometimes po- tatoes and cabbage often must be excluded from the dietary. An important rule is : Articles of food should be eaten together which will be digested in about the same length of time. The large quantity of potash salts in vegetables retards their digestion. Fruits are digested very quickly : apples in one to one and a half hours. Hence fruits and vegetables should not be eaten together. When sweet fruits are taken freely, starch foods should be correspondingly diminished. Gluten. Pure gluten biscuit, eatable and not unpalatable. Fifty cents a pound.

They consist of living almost exclusively for several weeks upon grapes freshly picked, several pounds a day being consumed at regular intervals, and nothing but bread and water besides. The small amount of nitrogenous matter supplied by this diet renders it unfit for active conditions or for long continued use, but grape juice can be advantageously combined with an otherwise almost exclusive albuminous diet in most cases where that is found necessary. ' A method of home preservation is to put into a kettle with one-fourth pint of water eight quarts of grapes just ripe but not over ripe, and scald slowly, mash them, drain four to six hours, express the juice and drain again, then sweeten to taste, boil the juice fifteen to twenty minutes, skimming frequently, pour hot into heated bottles, fill full and cork tightly with hot boiled corks, seal with wax and keep in a cool place. Will keep indefinitely. An excellent preparation known as Welch's Grape Juice can be bought of druggists or of the manufacturer. Price thirty-five cents per pint.

Hints Concerning Young Children in Summer. Bathe the child once a day in luke-warm water ; if fee- ble, twice a day. No tight bandaging. Make the inner garment of light flannel. The outer clothing light, cool and loose. Use clean diapers always. Give the child a bed by itself and put it in awake. Never coddle a well child to sleep in the arms. Never give soothing syrup nor sleeping drops. Never give candy or cake to quiet it. Keep in the fresh air, under shade, not in rooms heated for domestic purposes. Give breast milk, if possible, once in two or three hours during the day, and seldom as possible at night. Remove the child from the breast if it falls asleep. Never give the breast when you are over-fatigued or over-heated. If hand-feeding must be resorted to, try [aire, fresh, unskimmed cow's milk. Add to each nursing-bottle full a half-teaspoonful of sugar, and if the milk is very rich, young infants should have it diluted with one-fourth part of hot water. Prepare the milk by filling soda-bottles to within two inches of the top, cork tightly, set into cold water on the stove and bring it nearly to the boiling point, and keep it there about twenty minutes, then remove from stove and cool slowly, set. aside in a cool place. Do not open until needed If such milk disagrees add a tablespoonful of lime water to each bottle. Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 293 It" this disagrees try pure cream diluted with three- fourths or four-fifths of pure water for a few days, then return to the milk. If this fails try some of the prepared infant's foods. Use plain nursing-bottle with a rubber nipple and no tube, and soak both bottle and nipple, between meals, in water containing a little soda. Do not wean the child just before or during hot weather ; usually, not until after its second summer. After six months old a little stale bread and milk may be given twice a day. After eight months old one meal a d-iy of the yolk of fresh eggs rare-boiled. From three or four months, slightly sweet or neutral fruits may constitute a part of the daily diet. MlLKINE. Milkine possesses the nutritive element of milk, malt and meat. In proteids it slightly exceeds good wheat flour, while it has six times as much fat and more than six times as much mineral salts, largely lime, and the starch is all changed to sugar.

Nut butter is an emulsified vegetable fat, free from the germs contained in animal fat. It dissolves freely in water, and for this reason is more digestible than any of the animal fats or vegetable substitutes for them. It is claimed to have forty 7 one per cent, of vegetable fat and nearly nineteen per cent, of proteids, which is one-fourth more than beefsteak. Recommended to all who cannot digest fats, and to in- crease flesh; also for constipation. Nut butter is a sub- stitute for milk, cream and butter.

Baths are named from the degree of tem- perature employed: Cold, 33 to 55 ; cool, 55 to 65 ; lukewarm, 65 ° to 70 ; tepid, 70 to 85 ° ; warm, 85 ° to 95 ; hot, 95 to no°. Colo Baths suddenly and powerfully contract the capil- laries of the surface, and force the blood inward, thus stimulating the heart and large arteries to a vigorous effort to drive it back, which, if successful, is the reaction which glows and invigorates. But if the vital organs be weak and the capillaries sluggish, congestions dangerous to health, and even to life, are apt to result. Cold baths should be taken in a very few minutes. Cold baths remove solids from the system, by increas- ing respiration, increase the number of corpuscles, the amount of hemoglob n and glandular activity. Cold local baths, that is, applied to one part only, in reaction draw the blood to the part in order to replace the heat lost in the bath. Taylor says that a sitting bath, the water of which has been raised two degrees by the heat of the body, has caused the absorption by the blood of the oxygen of four or five cubic feet of air, " enough to raise a half pint of water from the freezing to the boiling point, and has eliminated from the system more than a 'naif-ounce of its solid material."" Sea Bathing is the most stimulative form of cold bath- ing, the invigorating effects of the simple cold bath being heightened by the saline constituents of the water and the revulsive effect of the waves against the skin, aided also by the bracing air of the shore, temporary change in food, habits, etc. A good substitute for a sea bath is the following mixture of salts dissolved in about thirty-eight gallons of water lor one bath : Ten pounds of chloride of sodium (common 300 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. salt), live pounds of sulphate of sodium (Glauber's salt), seven and one-half pounds of chloride of magnesia, and two and one-half pounds of chloride of calcium. Cool Baths, in a person of ordinary healti., slightlv re- lax the skin, impart vigor, soothe the extremities of the nerves, and abate internal blood pressure. But in prostrate conditions, the effects are the same as from cold baths. Tepid Baths are mild yet efficient relaxants to the skin and extremities of the nerves, relieving internal engorge- ments and soothing the entire system. Yet the}^ are not suitable to strong local, or general congestion, flaccidity of structures, cool surface, colliquative perspiration, threat- ening gangrene, or chronic weakness of vital energy (Cook). They should take ten to fifteen minutes only. Warm Baths aie stimulating and relaxing to the sur- face, and soothing to nervous excitability. If continued long they excite perspiration, and ma}^ cause oppression, languor and giddiness, because the internal process of heat production is. retarded, elimination of solids is checked, and respiration diminished. Time thirty to sixty minutes. Hot Baths, rarely over ioo°, strongly arouse the capil- lary circulation by the effort of the body to return the surplus heat given to it, relieve local rheumatism and neu- ralgia, accompanied by partial congestion when applied locally in the form of fomentations. They are not advisa- ble when the skin is cold and clammy, except when im- pregnated with the strongest stimulants, e. g., capsicum or mustard. With perspiration excessive and warm, they are of great service Hot baths are useful to restore warmth to the body in cases of profound shock, or after exposure to severe cold, but in the latter case the circula- tion must be first gradually restored. They should be Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 301 avoided if the patient expects to be exposed to cold within a few hours. Hot baths should not be taken except as a remedy for disease, baths of lower temperature accomplishing all that is needed for ordinar} 7 purposes. Duration five to thirty minutes. Pack Baths consist in wrapping the entire body in a sheet wrung out of water, with blankets so enveloping him as to maintain a tepid warmth in every part, thus pro- ducing the same effects as the tepid bath, but to a far greater degree, even to the extent of promoting the ab- sorption of internal effusions. Sleep ensues as a conse- quence of the general relaxation, and care must be used, for if the pack be continued too long the over-relaxation may produce inability to tone up afterward, in serious cases. Compresses are simply cold, local packs ; fomentations are hot. For the latter, wet from two to four thicknesses of cotton, or linen, in the water or decoction selected, heated according to the case, and cover with three to six thicknesses of dry flannel, projecting on ail sides three inches beyond the wet, and bind firmly in place. If con- tinuous heat is required, change the wet cloth frequently, without removing the dry, by lifting the dry and slipping the wet under it as hot as can be borne. In congestions the moisture is absorbed through the capillary walls, de- taching the adhering corpuscles and unclogging the blood vessels. l^aflor Baths, no° to 140 . The famous Russian bath is vapor. The early Thomsonian method was to seat the patient enveloped in blankets, in a chair set on slats across the top of a tub of hot water, into which hot bricks or stones were put. 302 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. Another method is, to generate the vapor by putting an alcohol lamp, with or without a tin of water over it, under a chair, with blankets tent-like about both. This is the hydro -alcoholic bath. Another way is, for the patient to lie in bed with the clothes raised by supporting half hoops, and have the va- por conducted under the bed clothes, or a vessel of steam- ing hot water put under the clothes. Another way is, to surround the patient in bed with sev- eral hot bricks wrapped in cloths, and p air vinegar or alcohol on them. However they may be taken, vapor baths should not be continued man}' minutes after the face p-rspires freely. They are far more penetrating and powerful than sponge baths, securing a full outward flow of blood, breaking up internal congestions, and stimulating the entire surface. In scarlatina, measles, smallpox, erysipelas, hydropho- bia, chronic skin affections, colds, rheumatism, ague, flood- ing, acute d\sentery, lockjaw, dropsy, chronic abscesses, etc., they are invaluable. The bowels should be first emptied by a full injection of hot water, else the contents may be absorbed and carried through the system toward the surface. The vapor bath should not be risked in conditions of decided prostration, in heart troubles or diseases of the large blood vessels, or in internal mortification. Persons of very delicate nervous organization are liable to faint in it because of the sudden flow of blood from the brain to the surface, and they may feel prostrated for days by it. General Rules for Bathing. Those suffering from heart disease, faint spells, or congestion of the brain, should never bathe in the surf. Full baths of any kind should not be taken within one Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 303 hour before a meal ; within two hours after a meal ; when much fatigued, or otherwise exhausted ; when the body is cooling after perspiration ; when cold from previous ex- posure (except the warm bath). The ears should be protected with light cotton plugs in surf bathing. Should lassitude result from surf bathing, or persistent chilliness, or numbness, discontinue it and rest ; also take a strong cup of coffee, but do not try to "walk it off," as that will exhaust still more. Contrary to general opinion, the feet should be first wet, then the head, if preferred. In all baths, heavy shocks should be avoided. The bath should be adapted to the person. If a cold bath is recommended for a certain condition, and the patient is used to warm baths only, begin with a tepid, gradually reduce to cool, then to cold. The abuse of water by en- thusiastic believers in its virtues, is as much to be guarded ag.'inst as its proper use is to be encouraged. Women should take only such baths during the last two months of pregnancy, or while menstruating, as are ap- propriate to their condition. The rule not to bathe within two hours after a meal, is of the utmost imporiance, as many cases of fatal " cramp " are due to the plunge into cold water when the stomach contains much food. A patient suffering from dry asthma, with cold perspi- ration during paroxysm, would be injured by a tepid bath. In excessive urination with a dry skin, a tepid sponge, or vapor bath, will diminish the flow. On the other hand, a cool bath, when the skin is moist, especially with an astringent added, will increase the discharge from the kidneys when that is deficient. (Cook.) Persons who have reached the decline of life, whether 3^4 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. at fifty or seventy-five years of age, should avoid chills from whatever baths they allow. (From my " Secrets of Health/') Water may be advantageously used internally in con- stipation, by sipping a glass on rising. In typhoid fever by taking eight to ten ounces an hour, sterilized. In cholera by using large quantities of hot water frequently as bowel enemas. By sipping hot water, one-half to one pint, thirty minutes before meals in nearly all stomach disorders. Should be sipped, because in sipping the action of the nerve which slows the beat of the heart is abolished, hence the circulation is quickened, the secre- tion of the bile is also hastened. EXERCISES. Increased oxygenation, more rapid metamorphosis of tissue, improved digestion and sleep, and the development and augmented strength of the muscles employed, are the constitutional results of exercise. The specific kind to be employed in any case should depend upon the particular need of the case. In general terms, all women, except those who live bv hard, manual toil, need to strengthen the muscles of the abdomen, hips and back, and thus prevent or cure the mal- positions of the pelvic organs, which cause the major part of their miseries, as well as to give them the muscular strength needed for safe child-bearing. All nervous debilities, dyspeptic troubles, liver com- plaints and pulmonary ailments in both sexes, require lung expansion and increased strength of the muscles of the chest. All muscular debilities call for the systematic use of the muscles implicated, not for mechanical braces as a substi- tute for vigor of fiber. Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 305 With these principles in view the adaptation of different forms of exercise may be briefly considered. Walking, if done with an elastic step, that swings the weight of the body from one foot to the other, is the king of all exercises for universal usefulness. But it must be walking, not dawdling. If even but five yards can be covered, let it be with the swing of gladness for power to move at all, and more power will be born of the moving joy- Carriage riding, especially with a cheerful companion, at an exhilirating gait, is a valuable form of exercise for the feeble, which may be changed by a moping pace and a glum associate into a funeral effect upon the spirits and and nerves. The Bicycle is dangerously potent for good or ill, accord- ing to the judgment displayed in its use. As a rule, scorching is but a significant euphonysm for physical dam- age. Race riding, with its execrable posture, is too insane an act to be even mentioned as hygienic. Going away from home until tired , is transforming exer- cise into exhausting work to cover the return. Starting rapidly, or pushing up-hill suddenly, before the respiration is quickened to correspond with the more rapid heart-beats is to invite faintness, giddiness or hemorrhage. Riding with a saddle that irritates the perineum is the sure precursor of very troublesome, and, it may be, seri- ous disease of the genital organs in both sexes. Pedaling rapidly soon after a hearty meal, if done fre- quently, is certain to derange the circulation, and prepare the way for a thrifty dyspepsia. Avoiding these dangers, the bicycle is a blessing to the race, particularly to the female sex. There is little doubt that the marked decrease in the 306 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. number of female consumptives in Massachusetts during the past six years (in 1890 it was 1055 to 1,000 males; in 1896 it was 974 to 1 ,000) ; is owing mainly to the greater habituation of voung women to out-door sports and recre- ations, among which the wheel has been the chief factor. Rowing, as a muscular exercise, gives precisely the development of strength in the abdomen and thighs that women need, at the same tim« securing the chest expan- sion and deep respiration which are of even greater impor- tance. Horseback Riding, if habitual, is an almost unmatched exercise for both sexes. No mere machine, however per- fect, can ever fill the place of a noble horse whose every motion is a thrill of magnetism, and whose spirit is instinct with a life that penetrates and vitalizes every nerve .of his rider. But he must be a horse, not a hack, and horse and rider must be in sympathy, so that the bounding pulses of the one shall throw tides of magnetic vigor into the other. Blessed are they who can thus ride. But a "swinging gallop" only once a month or ?>o. only a pleasant fiction that hides the semi-dislocations and inconvenient lacerations that make the hardest part of the ride the day after. Females should not indulge in such pastimes, because they come too infrequently to strengthen supporting muscles that they tax to an extreme and often relaxing degree. Golf, lawn tennis, etc., in garments that neither restrict respiration nor impede the circulation, should be sought when not too tired. But all these presuppose quite a stock of vitality to be- gin with. What can those do who are shut in, and are, perhaps. Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 307 too poor to afford any of the means of exercise implied in the foregoing ? We answer, perhaps not quite as well, but well enough to reap the results of exercise in the open air. A couch or hammock in a shady nook in summer, and the same, or even only a chair in a sheltered corner wheie the sun shines in winter, comfortably wrapped if need be with feet in a box covered with a warm blanket, or even with a hot water bottle, if necessary, at least two hours of every day, may be spent in the open air, when storms do not forbid. While there, exercise by using oxygen as directed in "Nature's Cure,'' the best, the most reasonable, the most effective exercise ever devised for the general relief of human ills. It is very simple, and for that very reason many will be tempterl to discard it. But it is as mighty as it is simple, and you, poor one, who complain that you cannot afford to procure the means or appliances of recovery, ought to thank God that his Providence has brought to you at last an tfficient substi- tute for those longed-for things. We quote from "Nature's Cure," by H. C. Borger : " We can breathe air into the lungs, but not oxygen into the blood." "It is not the exertion that is beneficial in exercise, but what is gained by exercise — circulation of the blood and absorption of oxygen." "If the vital force generated is dissipated in the getting, no gain is made." " It takes at least five inspirations and exhalations to com- plete the" (one) "act of respiration." Therefore, the me: hod is : 1. Either lying down, sitting or standing, draw through the nose as much air as will fully expand both chest and 308 Some Treatment with the Cell-Stilts. abdomen, clap the thumb and finger against the nostrils (not pinch them) and try to force out the air against the resistance of that obstruction. After a second or two let out the air. Do not hold long enough to produce dizzi- ness. 2. Then take four short, natural inspirations. In these the oxygen is absorbed. 3. Every fifth time proceed as in 1. 4. For beginners and weak persons, one to two minutes is enough for one treatment, but it should be gradually ex- tended to ten or fifteen minutes. 5. Two to six treatments a day. 6. Do not force the fifth respiration so as to produce sore muscles or irritate the lungs, but as much as you can without doing so. Adhere strictly to this plan. We have not space to explain the whole philosophy of this method, but assure our readers that it is thoroughly scientific, reasonable and practically successful. What more is required? Your doctor does not explain why and how his medi- cines are supposed to cure. Take this "Nature's Cure" upon the same basis of trust, and use it, especially if deprived of the means to get other things ; use this patiently, perseveringly, hopefully, and our word for it, if nature can cure she will ! And we know that she can in multitudes of cases, when the absence of so-called drug-helps gives her a fair chance. But do not suppose that it is appropriate to invalids only. Being one of nature's remedies, it is suited to all degrees of strength and all forms of weakness and disease. The objection may be raised that such a slight increase of oxygen intake can do but little; but it should be remem- Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 309 bered that the basal function of oxygen is to quicken molecular movements. The smallest article that can be seen by the naked human eye is about 1-100,000 of an inch on a side, and is composed of from sixty to one hun- dred million molecules. Risteen, in his work on molecules and the molecular theory, says, that if every man, woman and child in the world i. e., 1,468,000,000, were to lay down in a straight line a molecule of carbonic acid gas, the line would not be a yard long. Prof. Wm. Crooks, of London, savs, that to count the molecules in a pin head at the rate of 10,000,000 per sec- ond would require 250,000 years. A grain of musk has perfumed a room for twenty years, and in that time must have given off 3 20, 000, 000,000,000,- 000 particles. Will the objector kindly inform us how much oxygen is necessary to effect the movements of a few millions of molecules ? REST AND RECREATION. Why needed. — The great American nation has become nervous, dyspeptic, sexually weak, and physically degen- erated, largely by the untamed spirit of drive and con- quest, which is the product of its environment and history. Three more generations of retrogression, and, as a peo- ple, we shall be the scorn of the civilized world. It is time to halt ■ and the first reformation should be on the high ground of rest. Greed must check his speed, ambi- tion must take time to breathe, corn-petition must ease up for a holiday. The Incessant Grind of the busy brain needs a let-up ; and it will have it, or the impinging fibers will grind each 3io Home Treatment with the Cell -Salts. other away. This is the very point that we are deploring. The damage to the brain-fiber is reporting itself in the nerves, stomach, manhood-power, and physical stature and strength of the younger generation. More holidays, and half-holidays, a sacred rest-hour in the hum of the day, business locked into the mill, bank, counting-room, office, store or shop, when it is closed for the night, instead of being welcomed at the home fireside and transformed into a hideous nightmare in the sleep-hours ! Rest, rest, rest, is what we need. Reform the Schools. — But the mandate will never be heeded until the example is set in our public schools. Stuff, cram, FORCE, is the very spirit of school boards and teachers' institutes, until the young brain takes on an habitual type of high pressure, which will be maintained later on in the business of life until the machine crashes and the untimely end is reached. None the less imperative is Nature's call for rest. The habit of semi-sleep-rest should be cultivated. Sit easily in an easy chair, hands folded on lap, chin fallen upon chest, eyes closed, and breathe slowly way down to the pelvic bone, minute after minute, and soon (thinking only of ihe deep breathing) the whole organism will sleep, consciousness only being half dreamily alert. This rest- faculty ought to be cultivated, especially by all nervous people and brain workers. Rest One Day in Seven is a law of Nature, as well as a law of God. The observation of Sir Robert Peel, that no man can work seven days in the week without prema- turely breaking down, has been abundantly demonstrated in many ways. — Secrets of Health. Recreations. — These are any methods of employing the time, other than the habitual ones, the outcome of which is Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 31 r re-creative to the vital powers. This definition excludes all violent exercises that are more exhausting than recu- perating ; all methods that tease the nerves into irritability ; and all that interfere with the dominancy of good, estab- lished habits. As a general rule, recreation should be in the line of the partial or total disuse of the functions and energies that bear the ordinary strain of life, and the substituted use of that part of the nature that can be most pleasurably em- ployed under the circumstances. A day off on an excursion or picnic, or fishing or hunt- ing, if attended with constant worriment over the expense,. is not recreation. Visiting, with a perpetual fret over the proprieties of the occasion, is not rest. A public dance or other entertainment where fashionable attire destroys physical comfort, even though it please per- sonal vanity, is not re-cuperation. For the habitual brain worker to rush through a fiction, or any other book, is not giving the brain cells a holiday. For the mother to go vacationing and take all the younger children with her, is not disusing the faculties that are every day on the strain. Better have ten hours of genuine recreation than a whole week of sham — labeled " vacation ! ! ! " Rests and recreations should be timed in frequency to the running down of the energies. Some men can go months without anv beyond what each night and Sunday afford, but others need it every week, and many in poor health, every day. A twenty- four-hour clock must be wound oftener than a seven-day timepiece. When the balance wheel begins to vibrate feebly, the 312 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. winding should come. Better a little before, but none should ever wait for it to stop. The whole secret of the matter is, all the vital powers act more vigorously under pleasurable recreation. Hence digestion and assimilation, secretion and excretion are then at their best. Therefore the true economist who finds it necessary to employ remedies, will reinforce them with the best practi- cal conditions of recovery, i. e., all the rest and recrea- tion that his case requires ; bearing in mind the fact, that it is the worst of spendthrift policy to try to make the rem- edies do their ozvn work and that of rest and recreation also. The general rule given as to the disuse of the regularly hard worked faculties is all the suggestion that can profita- bly be made of the particular kind of recreation for an in- dividual case, it being understood that preference should always be given to that kind which lies furthest from the artificialities of life, nearest to nature, and calls into play most thoroughly the involuntary processes of respiration, circulation, digestion, assimilation and excretion. Whenever feasible, and it can be made so much oftener than is thought possible, camping out from four to sixteen weeks should be the aim of every invalid. It needs no elaborate pa aphernalia. Just a little nook beside some lake or running stream ; a party of four con- genial spirits, a small tent, a few unbreakable cooking utensils, some tin crockery for the company, and for each an army blanket, a rubber blanket, one or two changes of undergarments, rubber overshoes, tooth-brush, comb, soap, and two towels, needles, thread, pins and safetv pins, pocket testament, a few postal-cards if far from home, and some hunting and fishing gear. In the absence of a tent. Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 313 a covered wagon will answer for the females, and the men can build themselves a brush hut for the occasion. The provisioning is of great importance. Cereal coffee for or- dinary use, and Java and Mocha mixed for times of special exposure, condensed milk, canned fruits and vegetables, hard-tack and crackers, entire wheat flour for pancakes, sugar, salt pork, salt and pepper, vinegar, and some pre- served fruit juice, if practicable ; no butter, nor other things that will deteriorate rapidly. If any particular stomach troubles need to be provided for, that should be done for five to ten days, then rely upon the general dietary. Two square meals and a hand lunch a day, eight to ten hours' sleep, cheerfulness, fun and frolic to the utmost capacity. Such a two or three months' life is worth more to the ailing than twice the length of time in any sanitarium on earth at five to ten times the expense. No medicines, but a full set of Biochemic Salts for emer- gencies. Of course, a hatchet, matches, some loose cords, fine and coarse, a little old muslin for bandages, and a plentiful supply on the part of each of a fixed purpose to make all the others as happy as possible. Stick an outing- is a dyspepsia-killer, a consumption evader, a -prostration uplifter, a blue-devil exterminator, an "all-goneness^ banisher, a sleeplessness conqueror, a "poor appetite" extinguisher, and an ''always-ailing" revolutionize?' .' There are thousands of families, spending every year hundreds of dollars for help that they would not need if well, and for doctors and drugs that make them no better, who would be completely rejuvinated by a ten or twelve weeks' trip like the foregoing. Of course the plan is elastic enough to admit of any 314 Some Treatment with the Cell-Salts. desired increase in the number, but with the one absolutely essential qualification, no chronic grumbler, and no two disgruntled askance-lookers admitted on any terms. If any special justification of this plan is needed it is found in the fact, that, when in the Crimean war, it was found necessary to put a large number of typhoid fever patients into tents, because the hospitals were full, it proved that the mortality was less, and the progress of the patients far more rapid in the tents. The same was the experience of our own army in the war of 1861-64. In addition, may be cited the practice of the best insane asylum on this continent — the McLean, at Waverly, Mass. — erected at a cost of $1,250,000, where " Food and fresh Air " constitute the line of treatment, as they do also at Dr. E. L. Trudeau's famous establishment for the cure of tuberculosis at Saranac Lake, N. Y. WARIYTH. An egg can never be hatched in a refrigerator. Warmth nourishes life ; cold devitalizes. The reason is, the white blood corpuscles (leucocytes) are paralyzed by cold, so that their defensive work, in protecting from microbes, is diminished, or ceases altogether. The only exception to this law is the law of reaction, upon which the utility of baths is based. A temporary chill, by means of the nervous telegraphy, immediately calls for reinforcements, and they come rushing in with the blood-current that seeks to restore the balance of cir- culation, and that temporary influx of the defenders raises the vitality of the part. Hence, a law of recovery is — no chill, however pro- Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 315 duced, that cannot be overcome by vital reaction, within a very lew minutes at most, is ever beneficial. It is useless to try to toughen by any such measures ! ! SLEEP. " Tired nature's sweet restorer, balmy sleep," is a nice thing to talk about and a nice thing to have. Our physi- cal systems are geared for a sixteen-hour run, and can only be run to the best advantage on that plan. Because the brain never recuperates except in sleep. When worry, pain, care, greed or nervousness prolong that run to eighteen or twenty hours, something will give way sooner or later. Eight hours for work, eight for sleep (for adults), and eight for all other things, is Nature's plan. How to get the eight hours sleep is the great question. The requisites are : 1. Sufficient previous exercise to cause a little tire, with- out enough weariness to create fatigue-fever. 2. A mind willing to sleep and ready to glide, not force itself into it. 3. A well- ventilated room, by which is meant a fresh supply of air from an opening one inch by twenty, at least, in moderately cool weather, and a wide open window in summer time. 4. A hard bed, but not hard enough to make the bones ache, i. e., a mattress of husks or hair, or better, woven wire springs covered with a blanket, and as light top cov- ering as can be used without chill. 5. An extra blanket always within reach to draw over in the night, when the bodily temperature sinks. 6. Occupy the bed alone. 7. Lie on the right side, head slightly inclined towards 3 l6 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. the chest, resting on a low, hard pillow, knees slightly drawn up, arms in the most easy position possible, and no hard pressure anywhere that will impede the circula- tion, or cause discomfort an hour or more later. 8. If the thoughts will run, fix them on the least inter- esting subject possible, and then care not a continental whether you sleep or not . 9. Should restlessness come nevertheless, get up, pour a little cool or cold water down the spine, then see-saw with a long towel thrown over between the shoulders, so as to create a friction over the spine. When comfortably tired try the bed again. 10. If too much debilitated for this, the same principles can be applied by the aid of nurse or friend. 11. Abjure all sleeping potions. 12. Build the nervous system up to the sleep point, by hygienic measures, and Kali. Phos. four to six times a day. 13. Never try to sleep with cold feet, but plunge them into cold water and jump into bed without drying. If too feeble to secure immediate reaction, dry with a flesh brush or coarse towel after the cold plunge, or, if necessary, have them rubbed or whipped into warmth. 14. Never try to sleep when hungry, nor take a full meal just before retiring. 15. Never try to sleep with a guilty conscience. 16. Never work the brain hard within an hour of retir- ing. If ill or nervous, not within three to five hours. 17. If loaded with care, never try to sleep until you can " cast your burden upon Him who careth for you." Brain workers, users of alcoholic stimulants, large eat- ers, pregnant and nursing women, and rapidly-growing children need more sleep than others, ordinarily can scarcely get too much. Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 317 COLON FLUSH. This is a system of flushing the bowels employed by the writer for several years. It originated in suggestions ac- companying various clinical reports in different medical journals, and was greatly enlarged later after reading Dr. Wilfred Hall's wonderful elucidation of the benefits of his plan. In this treatment an attempt is made to adapt the quantity, temperature and frequency of the flushes to the condition of the patient. The colon is a sewer, the posi- tion and construction of which is such that it cannot be flushed out from end to end, therefore the only practica- ble way is to pump it full and cleanse by emptying. This requires from four to eight pints of fluid. The essentials are, a good bulb or fountain syringe, preferably both, with a tube eighteen to twenty inches long between the bulb and the delivery pipe. A large soft rubber catheter to be attached to the delivery pipe of the syringe. If this can- not be obtained, the ordinary vaginal pipe of a family syr- inge will answer. A rolled blanket for the hips, a pillow for the head. How to take it. — If the rectum is empty, begin in any way that suits ; but if it is packed, lie on back:, hips on rolled blanket, shoulders to bed or floor, insert the pipe and inject very slowly, so as to soften the mass and allow it to pass away. Then, if the bowel is packed on the left side, lie on left side, hip on blanket, left breast to bed, thighs bent close to pelvis, inject slowly, retain until de- sire to stool is felt, then expel. Repeat, as strength per- mits, until all hardness is removed from the left side, then turn on back, hips elevated, inject slowly until full, rest, turn on right side, slowly fill again until desire to stool is felt, then pass it away. Observe. — If much prostration ensues take a cup of hot 3 1 S Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. capsicum tea, or of hot coffee, either before or after, or both ; or better still, three to six grains of Kali. Phos. in a cup of hot water. Should it be difficult to discharge the water, dissolve in it a teaspoonful of table salt, and gently knead the colon from the right groin up to just below the short ribs and across, just below the stomach, and down into the left groin. Flushes hot enough to excite free perspiration should never be employed when the bowel contains a mass of foul matter. In fermenting conditions, should be used with sufficient frequency to prevent the absorption of the poisonous pro- ducts into the blood-stream. Best time is in the evening. In simple constipation without fermentation, the best time is on rising in the morning. Should be used regularly, not infrequently, as long as required. When it causes discharges of mucous or slimy matter, it shows the need of frequent cleansing. Its-immediate physiological effects are, purification of the blood, relief of congestion of the pelvic organs, and their vitalization, hence its great value in diseases of the pelvic organs. Rules for Temperature. Cool or cold for inflammation ; fevers without marked prostration, and as a tonic, but never so as to produce chilliness. Tepid, to produce relaxation ; to promote absorption, and in obese conditions. Warm, to soothe. Hot, for antiseptic use, if water alone is employed ; Nature's Co-operative Curatives. 319 to relieve pain ; promote peispiration ; as a stimulant ; and to recuperate in fatigue. Any temperature when used as an ant-acid or antiseptic medium for the employment of chemicals.

THE THERMO=OZONE TREATHENT. The Thermo-Ozone Battery is the name given to an appliance (not an electrical battery), by which a differ- ence of thirty or more degrees between the battery and its poles, generates an unfelt current that decomposes water and carries the ozone directly into the venous current, thus purifying the blood and vitalizing the nerves. It is also capable of carrying medicines, when placed in solution in contact with the positive pole, into the tissues adjacent to it. Its great superiority over all forms of electricity for the cure of disease (except when the cautery is necessary) has been demonstrated so often that it needs no furiher proof. It is the invention of Dr. S. R. Beckwith, for many years an eminent surgeon in the West, but now living in New York city. Its percentage of cures of difficult and hitherto incura- ble diseases is simply amazing. It is run by putting the battery into cold or hot water, and its poles upon or near the seat of the disease. The current gives no sensation, costs nothing after the pur- 320 Some Treatment with the Cell-Salts. chase of the battery, and is guaranteed for two years. It is furnished by the author of this book, and instruc- tions for its use given without further charge. It consti- tutes a part of our " Ideal Treatment" in obstinate cases. NUCLE1N TREATHENT. This consists in supplying to the system the vital mate- rial of the lymphatic glands of animals, the effect of which is immediately to multiply the leucocytes, and thus increase the protective power of the blood against disease, and also its reparative processes. Various preparations have been made, but Proto-nuclein is the best adaptad to use by the people, and while not designed for them, except as prescribed by a physician, it is infinitely safer than the opiates, narcotics and other drugs, etc., that they so generally use. As a substitute for this, when not readily obtainable, the following treatment is specially commended. BLOOD TREATMENT ( Hsematherapy . ) This consists in opposing to disease such a good and sufficient blood-supply as would have prevented the dis- ease, had it been possessed at the outset. The blood of bullocks, sheep or chickens ma}^ be used ; in rare cases the blood of human beings is employed by transfusion. The treatment introduces blood, preferabty mixed with salted water in various proportions according to the case, by the stomach, rectum, hypodermic injection, or by absorption from a raw surface. In the hands of skilled physicians it is by far the most successful form of treatment ever devised, especially in such desperate conditions as advanced consumption, typhoid fever, pernicious anaemia, cholera infantum, ner- Nature's Go-operative Curatives. 32 s vousness, collaspe from hemorrhage, old ulcers, gangrene,, blood poisoning, crushed or decayed bones, mangled fleshy and burns covering a large surface. Dr. T. I. Biggs, 1690 Broadway, New York, is the chief illustrator of this system, and his address is here given solely in the interests of the readers of this book, who have failed to find relief elsewhere. The method was not designed for domestic use, yet it is capable of very broad and wholesome adoption by the people. Fortunately, an article is kept at many drug stores, and can be procured by all, which contains the blood of bul- locks so combined with glycerine and enough whiskey to preserve it, as to make it sterile, palatable, rich in blood- cells and of immense utility as a nutriment in weakened conditions. We have no interest in naming Bovinine be_yond the desire to help the sick. It is really a form of Nuclein treatment, with the advan- tage of supplying the white blood-cells ready for immedi- ate work, and the ricii pabulum of healthy blood with which to sustain. them. In rheumatism the red blood corpuscles are diminished^ therefore, the blood treatment with the Cell- Salts, espe- cially Ferr. Phos., is indicated, together with two liters (about 67.6 ounces) of pure soft water a day. NUTRITIVE ENEflA. Not given as a complete treatment in itself, but as an adjunct to anv of the others when necessary. Some use- ful ones are as follows ; Nutritive Enemas. No. 1 . The white of an egg stirred into two ounces of of water, containing one-third of an even teaspoonful of 322 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. table salt, at a temperature of between eighty and one hundred and five degrees. No. 2. Two ounces of salted water and one ounce of Bovinine. No. 3. Three ounces salted water and three ounces ot Bovinine. No. 4. One grain pure Papoid dissolved in one ounce of water, i. nor the habitual table use of condiments. The physiological effect of stimulants is to increase the red-blood cells for a few days, but unless fresh material for them to live upon is also supplied they soon perish, proving conclusively that the normal use for stimulation is transient only. The weakness of the idea of toning the system by so- called tonics is just here. Their tonicity consists in their power of stimulation. But as the system loses its susceptibility to feel that stimu- lation with every repetition of the dose, and as the drug gives no nutriment to the cells first proliferated, it follows that no really tonic effect is possible. What seems such in some cases is the first effect of stim- ulation supported and made permanent by added nutrition. There is a class of extreme cases in which the ordinary effects of stimulation are overborne and benefit secured, e. g., whiskey by the pint for snake bites, in which the alcohol acts as a germicide ; brandy or whiskey, a pint or more in twenty-four hours, in some cases of double pneu- monia, etc., in which the alcohol acts as a force food and as a germicide, and its stimulation supports (temporarily) the vital energies. But as a rule — It is only when the vital powers need to be aroused tem- porarily that their use should be permitted. Capsicum, or red pepper, is a pure stimulant, by far the best and safest for use under nearly all circumstances, and is a powerful antiseptic. 34 o Rome Treatment with the Cell-Salts. Mustard, externally, comes next ; and there is scarcely any form of depression that cannot be more safely and suc- cessfully met by one or both of these than by any drug or drugs of the materia medica. The capsicum may be used in from one to three-grain doses, repeated according to the urgency of the symptoms from one to six hours. The mustard, in the form of plasters, dry rubs, or in baths deserves far more general use than it has, e. g., in the determination of blood to a part, the application of a mustard plaster to its immediate vicinity, and as soon as the surface reddens thoroughly, that removed and another just beyond its further border, and so on, until an extrem- ity is reached, will often remove the most stubborn cases of congestion. RELAXANTS. Relaxants are substances that loosen the texture of the fibres of the tissues, and are useful in rigid conditions. The warm bath is one of the best. Ladies' slipper and lobelia are the best herbal relaxants. Lobelia is decried by Allopaths because, they claim, that in two or three instances in the history of medicine it has had a fatal effect, but there is no positive proof of a single instance, while there is positive proof of fatal results in thousands of cases from drugs that they prescribe freely every day, e. g., who does not know that morphine has slain its thousands. Morphine is a relaxant, but the fur- ther its effects extend the more disturbed do the pulsations become. On the other hand, the more pronounced the effect of lobelia, the more regular does the pulse become.

This book was first announced to the public as in course of preparation in June, 1896, but for various reasons was not given to the printer until June 7, 1897. Notwithstanding present haste to issue it, I cannot allow it to close without a brief final chapter upon "The Inde- pendent and The Co-operative Curatives of Christian Faith." The best statement of The Independent Curative is found in James 5:13-15 : " Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church ; and let them pray over him. anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord : and the prayer of faith sha!l save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up." The doctrine is simply this : The praver of faith shall save the sick. But inasmuch as we "know not what to pray for as we ought," i. e. r whether it is our privilege to pray in faith for recovery, God informs us by a certain process explained in Romans 8:26: "The Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings (sighings) which cannot be uttered." That is, the Holy Spirit within us helps our pleadings, impels to vehement wrestlings for the desired good, and whenever that Spirit-helped intercession is felt, it is God's personal assurance that it is " according to His will" (verse 27) that this boon shall be granted upon the one condition of the faith of the supplicant. The Independent and the Co-operative Curatives, Etc. 343 That this doctrine produces accordant facts I KNOW by more than one personal experience, but notably by the healing of my lameness of twenty-five years' standing, as narrated in — "My Twenty-fifth Year Jubilee," published in 1875-. That it was made the subject of ridicule by many is true ; but I wish to write in this, my latest work, that, while there are some slight matters in that narrative that proba- bly would not have been stated in just the words they were had they been written some years later, yet no fact was misstated ; and after twenty years of experience, and much investigation of the physical, psychical and religious prin- ciples involved, I KNOW, as well as I know the fact ot my conversion, that my cure was an act of Divine healing, independent of the use of natural remedial agents. Furthermore, I am positively certain, that the same prin- ciples and methods of reasoning by which it was sought to be explained upon natural principles, if applied to per- sonal religious experience, would unchristianize every Christian who now lives or ever has lived, if accepted. Note the doctrine well — its limitations and its safeguard. God's will is the arbiter. That will — disclosed by the Holy Spirit in the heart of the sufferer — is the personal encouragement to the act of faith. It is useless to inquire why He selects one, and passes by the multitude. I only know that it is not because of the superior piety, talents or influence of the chosen ones ; but the positive elements that determine His choice must remain unknown in this life. The practical application of the subject in a domestic medical work is simply this, viz. : It is right for the suf- ferer to offer the testing prayer to see if it receives the in- 344 Home Treatment with the Cell-Salts. tercessional help, without which the prayer for cure should be changed to a prayer that the affliction may be sancti- fied to the soul's good, and blessed to the good of others ; but with which — "To doubt would be di.Tovalty, To falter would be sin."" King Asa "in his disease sought not the Lord, but to the physicians.'' "And Asa slept with his fathers."— 2 Chron. lfi:12-13. The Co-operative Helps of Christian Faith in- volve the same principles of God's sovereign will offering the privilege, and man's faith personal! v and consciously claiming it, but instead of receiving the help without the intervention of naturally curative agents, it is expected through such means. Sometimes with no specially sug- gested ones ; at other times with the means clearly defined and imperative. In either case there is a curative effi- ciency displayed far beyond the mere encouragement of expectancy of relief, yet, may be, quite indefinite in meas- ure, or may include complete recovery. The Christian should never fail to seek this help. Its workings are amid the primal movements of cell-forma- tion just where life lays its hand upon insensate matter, and bids it to live. Hence, its help is radical. But the seeking should always be in the same spirit in which His independent help is sought — not with resigna- tion, for there is no room for resignation unless the peti- tion is denied — but with a spirit of consecrated subjection that will at once become resignation upon occasion.
