nic affections. By the use of the Manipulator, we can produce
the most thorough revulsive effects, operating upon large surfaces, and
causing large masses of muscle to receive an increased amount of blood,
thus drawing it away from parts oppressed by too great a supply,
constituting engorgement. No injury is done to the parts acted upon; on
the contrary, they are strengthened by the application, which can be
repeated as often as necessary till relief is permanent. Thus, the head,
heart, digestive organs, liver, chest, or whatever part is oppressed by
excess of blood, may be speedily and permanently relieved. By means of
this ability to relieve any part of the system from engorgement, and
consequent inflammation and its results, are we enabled to permanently
cure a large variety of chronic inflammatory, ulcerative, and nervous
affections.

Local inflammations by this method of treatment may be speedily cured.

CURE OF NEURALGIA.

By the transmission of motion through the Manipulator and other
ingeniously devised apparatus and machinery, we increase the functional
power and activity of the muscles, and thereby diminish morbid
sensibility of the nerves, which is present in neuralgia. Prolonged and
excessive nervous action is attended with too great a rush of blood to
the nerve-centers, which can only be relieved by increasing the flow in
the muscles. Congestion, or hyperaemia, in the spinal cord or brain, or
both, is a condition ever present in neuralgia. The application of
motion through the manipulator causes the blood to flow to the muscles,
thus relieving nervous congestion and consequent neuralgia.

CURE OF PARALYSIS.

In no single disease has the transmission of motion through the
Manipulator proved more thoroughly efficacious than in _paralysis_. The
most prominent requirements in these cases seem to be the following:

Excess of blood in the brain and spinal cord needs to be removed and
diverted to parts in which it will be useful instead of obstructive.

The contractile power of the capillaries should be improved.

The quality of nutritive fluids should be improved by the promotion of
oxidation through increased circulation.

These and many more wants of disordered nerves, are readily supplied by
transmitted motion.

The Manipulator combines, in a single ingenious mechanical contrivance,
the several movements best adapted for the promotion of healthy
functional activity.
