Présentation de l'éditeur
There is but one direct means by which mans physical being is developed, by which it is maintained in normal condition, and, when broken down, by which it is restored to a condition of health. Hence there is one chief thing to which the various measures employed for the relief of bodily ills should be directed. It matters not what the measures may be ;whether they consist of the administration of drugs, the application of massage, electricity, bathing, mental influences, or any other mode of treatment, all are directed to this one thing, viz: the circulation of the hlood. If the blood current is strong and free, health is assured ;if, on the other hand, the general circulation is sluggish, or local congestions occur, morbid processes are of necessity initiated. There is not a pathological lesion that does not have its beginning in blood stasis. To re-establish and to maintain a normal circulation, local and general, is, therefore, the great problem that demands solution in the successful treatment ot chronic diseases, both medical and surgical. It is well known that it is upon nerve-force alone that the circulation depends for its activity. Hence a proper supply of nerve-force means a good circulation, with all its attendant blessings. A waste of nerve-force, or a low tone of the nervous system, means an enfeebled circulation, with its various forms of unfortunate sequences. The special nerve-force which presides over the circulation of the blood is furnished by the great vaso-motor system.
