which, precipitated by chemical action, either drop to the bottom in
sediment or cling to the surface coating and, in either case, are
eliminated and lost to the child to an extent which constitutes a
serious deterioration in its food and one likely in any case to promote
rickets. Milk also contains important constituents which change into
necessary food elements in the course of natural fermentation--gelatine
for instance--which being, as has been shown, so vital a factor in the
building up of tissue, it needs no argument to prove the disastrous
consequences its depletion must engender in the child and it may be
likewise safely left to the intelligence of the reader to grasp the
obvious fact that for the prevention or healing of Infantile Paralysis
the one and only safeguard is Regeneration through the course already
indicated of Hygienic-Dietetic treatment which will, if applied
beforehand, eliminate the tendency to disease or, in the event of its
occurrence, will conduct it along safe and natural lines to a quick
recovery.
This brief sketch of the subject must suffice for the present purpose
but a special article[C] with full and interesting details has been
devoted to the subject, which will appear in my greater work,
"Regeneration or Dare to be Healthy."
"FACIAL DIAGNOSIS" AND "THE CLINICAL EYE."
It is an incident common to the experience of all Natural Hygienic
Physicians for the patient to exclaim in quasi protest: "But Doctor! How
can you tell?"
Accustomed to the pompous pantomime of the orthodox physician--the gold
watch and chain trick, while pulse and tongue reveal their hidden
records--and then the well known questions which call forth the
personal predilection in the fashion of disease and diet, (prescriptions
which are often not untinged by the physician's own proclivities), at
first the patient misses the old familiar presence. If ill he _must_ be,
he expects that the process should proceed from the outset on the old
accustomed, "strictly respectable" lines, and something like resentment
stirs him when, in place of questioning, a physician presumes to _tell
him_ at a glance the substance of his malady _unasked_.
But such is the method of real efficiency and such the qualification of
the men who practice the new philosophy which shall save the world from
shams.
_Facial diagnosis_ is the determining factor of the logical and never
failing science of nat
