SOME DANGERS OF
COMBATI.VG SYMPTOMS.
If there Is fever, many M. D.s will
force It down, no matter If It is but a
physiological manifestation. If the
heart is pounding away trying to forci
the blood Into a congested lung, he
will slow It down rather than clear
the lung, and so on through tho list.
.Fortunately when an osteopath
"treats symptoms as they arise," he
must, as a rule, treat the cause, and
he thus does not work contrary to na
ture. Symptoms are but Indications
of disease,' and disease but further In
dication of lowered vitality. Forcibly
lowering - temperatnre has. accom
plished nothing for the good of thi
patient for obvious reasons. Nature
Is out of balance, and I am convlueed
that many fatal results are from med,
dlesome Interference with drugs wl!--still
further disturb equilibrium
bring about untimely dlssoliu I ,!.
