art of vinegar.
Vinegar prevents coagulation of the blood-cells, and in consequence,
stagnation and inflammation are avoided.
_Cooling Drinks._
For a similar reason acid drinks, such as lemonade, raspberry vinegar,
and diluted raspberry juice, are of the greatest services in
inflammations and fevers. They compose the system from within outward.
For, as soon as any electrical negative is brought into contact with the
system, streams of electricity course through the body and reduce the
inflammation. The best lemonade for this purpose is my preparation
"Tonogen," because it contains all the necessary acids, besides the
necessary constituents for inducing circulation and thereby preventing
stagnation It is easily established that patients treated according to
my method have become very much stronger and healthier than they were
before the beginning of their illness.
Formerly, the proportion of deaths among these who contracted typhoid
fever reached twenty and thirty per cent and even higher. These deaths
occurred simply because of excessive internal heat. Today, a wide
experience shows that hardly any of such cases succumb.
_Temperature Reduction._
The application of water in typhoid fever has secured for it a permanent
place in the sickroom. Not only have we been enabled by reducing the
temperature with water, to attain the very best results in the treatment
of typhoid cases, inflammation of the lungs, and all positive heat
diseases, but by the same measures, we are now able to forestall its
development with increasing certainty.
Brand kept typhoid fever away from his soldiers while it raged around
them in the severest form, by the simple specific of a daily bath of an
hour's duration in cold water.
It is easy to understand why scarlet fever, measles and chicken-pox--all
positive diseases--demand the exclusion of sunlight in their treatment.
Experience has shown that the treatment of these diseases makes a more
favorable progress when sunlight is excluded.
This fact stands in sharp contrast to all previous observations as to
the importance of sunshine in the treatment of disease.
_Negative Diseases._
Now let us leave the consideration of the febrile or positive diseases
and turn to those of negative character, as well as to disturbances
where a reduced vibration of the electrons, a preponderance of cold
negative electrical forces, and unhealthy action on the part of the
mucous membranes, const
