OSTEOPATHY'S SUCCE33
' IN RHEUMATISM
Osteopathy will clear up the blood
by stimulating the kidneys and llv-
r. aiso bv regulating the bowels;
by limiting the diet and keeping
the skin clean the impurity is soon
thrown out of the system and the
rheumatism Is gone.' This La a nat
ural and mostpermanent result. Some
people who have sore Inflamed mus
cles and joints from rheumatism say
that they can't bear to be touched,
hence OBteopathy is not the treat
ment for them. This Is a mistake,
The tender Joints and muscles do
not have to be manipulated.; There
Is no hurting required even in the
most severe cases. The osteopath
will merely go to the nervecenters
In the SDlne for tie kidneys and
liver to Increase the excretions
This will soon clear up the soreness
by removing the deleterious roaterl
al, that is. causing tie trouble, from
the system. Herald of Osteopathy
