 the upper j)()rtion of the stomach. 
 
 3._Tho stomach, laid open, showing its interior surface 
 or digestive membrane. 
 
 4). The pulorii)^, or outlet of the stomich into the u|)per 
 section of the small intestine called the <hio<lcnum. This 
 name is derived iVom the length of this section, it being 
 about the breadth of twelve lingers in the avera"-o aduU, 
 or about ten inches long. ^ 
 
 ^ 5. The (jdU-bhuhkr, with its delicate otitlet-tube whe- <>

 of its Itjngth. 
 
 G, G, G. The different sections of the small intestine 
 from the upper portion of the jejiuium where it ])asses 
 irom the duudenum, spirally downward through the 
 lower section (ileum), termi^nating at the catcum (15), 
 where it enters the colon or lai;go intestine. 
 
 7. The lower and enlarged pouch of the colon situated 
 just above the right groin and below the riglit kidney. 
 
 8. A small worm-shaped tube as a lower terminal or 
 elongation of the colon, called the apiiendicida vermi- 
 formis (worm-shaped ai)pendage). This singular organ 
 seems to have no useful or necessary oliice In our a"ia- 
 touHcal structure, but on ihe contrary is often the cau>e 
 of death fj-om a fruit-seed or other hard substance becom- 
 ing wedged in it. It is one of the greatest mysteries of 
 the human anatomy'.

 THE RATIONALE AND DETAILS OF DR. HALL'S 
 
 TREATMENT. 
 
 PART I. 
 
 In aj)|)ioadiini,' tliin important subject and attempting 
 to explain my hygienic discovery and the treatment in 
 ])nrsuaiK'e therei f in as britf a space as possible, 1 find it 
 by no means an easy task. I will try, however, so to 
 Word my i\j>lanati()n as to adapt it to eveiy condition of 
 life and education where its ln'iielits may lie sought or 
 desired. And in this very first paiagraph, I earnestly bcfr 
 of the reader, liowcvtr his curiosity may be excited, not 
 to ski]) one line or sentence, i)ut rather to read sentences 
 and paragraphs twici: over, and evtn study them if they 
 do not seem clear or important at first glance. The 
 j)amphl('t is small, and the reader can not afford to lose 
 its perfect continuity to gratify a desire for the denoue- 
 ment. If the rea<ler will so examine these introduittor^^ 
 and essential ideas, and sturly them as here suggested, we 
 will almost guarantee that before he gets throu'di with 
 Part I. he will himself have made the same discovery 
 from its apitaieiit necessity and without even a hint as to 
 its nature and details. Let each reader, therefore, test 
 his own original ability to discover and invent, especially 
 after the possibility of a discovery or invention is fore 
 shadowed and assured as will here be done. 
 
 And first, I have to say, that much as I dislike to write 
 about myself or refer to the details of my personal . \- 
 perience, it becomes a matter of necessity in the present 
 case, if the hygienic advo itages to "result from the dis- 
 covery liere unfohh-d shall ever be placed in their best 
 light before the public. 
 
 The duty I owe the world in thus placing permanently 
 on record the liistory of facts and circumstances which

 on account 
 ad received 
 h my own 
 
 life has entirely depended for its continuance, T have de- 
 termined to otter to all these friends, as well as to t)'- 
 world at large, the benefits of the discoveries by which 
 am now alive, and by which I was raised from the con- 
 dition of an emaciated consumptive forty years ago to my 
 present robust health. 
 
 For sevei-al years I have been urged to print the details 
 of the new hygienic treatment in the columns of the 
 Microcosm, and then later in the Scientific Arena, and 
 at one time I had thought of so doing, and even, intimated 
 the purpose in one of the earlier volumes of the Microcosm; 
 but on reflection I sav/ that the minutia of the treatment 
 would hardly be suitable for a popular magazine other 
 than one devoted to some phase of medical s^cicnce, and, 
 therefore, withheld the suggested publication. 
 
 Besides, I had a great desire, as before intimated, to 
 wait till I had by practical test rounded out the tirst 
 forty years of exi)erinientati' upon myself as a prac- 
 tical and reasonable gauge to the probable working and 
 permanent value of the new system of hygienic treat- 
 ment to manr.ind. That time having now arrived, and 
 the various conditions and prospects of my health and 
 continued ability to work conspiring to the final public- 
 ity of this greatest discovery of my life, and what I con- 
 scientiously regard as the greatest discovery of all time 
 as relates to human health and longevity, I have decided 
 to wait no longer, lest by some peradventure my career 
 should suddenly be cut short and the world should thus 
 b*e deprived of the value of that to which no wealth or 
 other emolument can bear the slightest comparison. 
 
 I have given herewith an engraving whicli represents 
 the entire alimentary or intestinal canal from the en- 
 trance of food into the stomach to the final exit of the 
 excrementitious residue after the nutrient portions have 
 been extracted and absorbed into the system. This il- 
 lustration of the intestinal apparatus, with a full descrip-

 which the nuclei'' 'idicatcs and excites in that particu- 
 lar organ. 
 
 Tims, for example, the lungs may be weakened by 
 over-exertion and successive colds, or may naturally be 
 defective from heredity, furnishing a sympathetic soil 
 for the lodgment of these disease bearing germs a,bsorbed 
 from the contents of the bowels and carried constantly 
 through this already infected organ. In this way the 
 tendency to accumulation of the diseased condition grows 
 with its growth and strengthens with its strength ; 
 whereas, if the blood were free from such impurities, no 
 such accumulation could occur. These impurities, when 
 absorbed into the circulation, thus finding the lungs, for 
 instance, a congenial dumping ground, so to speak, rush 
 past other organs found to be in less sympathy, and un- 
 load their })oisonous intluence where the diseased soil is 
 already in cultivation. 
 
 Medicines may partially and temporarily neutralize 
 these seeds of irritation, and thus, by diversion of the 
 enemy towards other parts may for a time put off the 
 evil day ; but drugs of whatever kind or character can 
 not touch the cause and continual instigation of the 
 trouble, but rather must leave the organ in a more sensi- 
 tive condition than before. 
 
 With all the medicine that may be taken into the 
 human system, so long as this absorption ot the disease- 
 bearing germs continues from the intestines, the blood 
 will supply the lungs with this congenial food for con- 
 sumption more rapidly than any system of drug-medica- 
 tion can divert or counteract it. 
 
 Plainly and rationally then, as it must strike every 
 thinking person, if some simple, efiectual, and perfectly 
 harmless means could be discovered by which to prevent 
 or put a stop to this excessive absorption into the circula- 
 tion of disease-bearing germs, so that their lodgment 
 would be prevented by .the natural eliminating and 
 excretive process of the physical organism, nature would

 normal mifure will do lier work infallibly correct, if she 
 is not interfered with by ahnormaJ cmdltions. 
 
 As proof that nature will do her woik etfoctually, when 
 not excessively taxed, we have only to note her etiorts 
 m her three other outlets for the elimination and 
 excretion of impurities from the circulation, in addition 
 to the intestinal means of escape, namely, the kidneys 
 the pores of the skin, and the breath. 
 
 When excretion is defective through tlio chief (Oiannel 
 of the body for keeping the organism pure and healthy 
 notice how soon the urine is unduly loaded with otiensivo 
 and poisonous excretions in the effort of nature to find 
 the next best means of eliminating the waste and 
 deleterious refuse of the organization. 
 _ Next, the ])ores of the skin are brought into requisi- 
 tion by our faithful friend, nature, to help forward this 
 work and assist the kidneys ; and last, but by no means 
 least, our^ incessant respiration is always at work, night 
 and day, in this etiectual process of aiding in the elimina- 
 tion and excretion of etlete and poisonous matter from 
 the system. 
 
 Not only the carbonic acid exhaled from the lungs at 
 every breath, but the vapory lluid thus expired at the 
 same time, is loaded with deadly poison to the system if 
 it should be retained even for a single hour. 
 
 The distinguished Prof. Brown'e-Secpiard, of Paris 
 has recently proved the truth of what 1 have been stat- 
 ing by condensing these exhalations of vapor from the 
 lungs of a person of average health, and after concentra- 
 tion he has demonstrated their poisonous character on 
 different animals,-a single drop injected under the skin 
 of a rabbit producing immediate death. 
 
 This poison, as well as the jioisonous matter with which 
 the perspiration and the urine are cliarged, is <>\'creted 
 solely from the circulating vital fluids of the organism 
 which those fluids absorb from only one possible 'source, 
 namely, the effete and putrid contents of the intestinal

 For two or more years I had been fighting against the 
 inroads of what seemed to myself and to others as ap- 
 proacliing consumption. During this time I was never 
 witlKjut a wearing cough, jiroducing the most [)ainful 
 etiect ui)on my lungs with consequent loss of sleep as well 
 as of appetite. My flesh finally began to wear away 
 under this strain with fearful ra])i(lity while still tryinn- 
 to keej) up and continue my public labors, till at last I 
 was forced to succuml) to what seemed the inevital»le. 
 
 The trouble of my lungs produced its rcHex action upon 
 all other parts of my system. My liver became torpid, 
 my digestive api)aratus had almost ceased to perform its 
 functions, dyspepsia set in with its horrible nightmare, 
 the kidneys began to fail in their official duties, with con- 
 stant attacks of inflammation of adjacent parts, and with 
 numerous attacks of pleurisy, which at times, as it seemed, 
 would surely end my existence. 
 
 With indigestion came the most virulent constipation, 
 which necessitated a constant resort to cathartics, none 
 of \yhich produced more than tcmj)oi-ary relief, while 
 leaving the dilapidated system in a worse" condition than 
 before. 
 
 At last, redrced to a skeleton, with hardly the shade of 
 the color of life remaining in my face, I was forced with 
 terrible reluctance to give up all work and subside into 
 almost entire inactivity, with scarcely energy enough 
 left to leave my room or to walk a single block without 
 stopping to rest. 
 
 In this forlorn and despairing condition, I saw only 
 in the near future the lingering fate of the consumptive, 
 to which my brother Sanmel, two years younger than 
 myself had patiently succumbed a short time before. 
 
 1 sought the counsel of the able doctor who had at- 
 tended my brother and who had seen him die, and with 
 all the frankness which I urged him to exhibit, he told 
 me that my case was precisely that of Samuel's, and that 
 within less than a year I might assuredly expect to fol- 
 low him to the same churchyard.

 Such mental experience as I passed throur^h durin<.>; 
 the following week or ten days, while lying on my bed 
 or sitting listlessly, to all appearance, about the room, 
 working out my desperate problem of individual recon- 
 struction, — building life out of j)remature death, -none 
 but the pen of the recording angel can ever describe. 
 
 Suffice it to say that I was not at all satisfied with the 
 result of the medical consultation and decision, though 
 nay own most deliberate conviction was forced to c(jin- 
 cide with the impartial diagnosis so evidently based on 
 the indisputable facts of the case. But I was too per- 
 sonally involved in the result of the decision those medi- 
 cal experts had reached, to submit quietly, or at least 
 without a furious protest. 
 
 In a word, I resolved not to die by the triumphant 
 power of consumj)tion and its concomitant ills, but at 
 once to enter upon such a conllict with the insidious de- 
 stroyer as either to break his hold on my vitality or to 
 taKe the victory out of his grasp by falling under the 
 effects of my own desperate experimentation. 
 
 Yet, in all this mental agitation, in whi(;h I sought, as 
 never before, to penetiate the secret archives of^ian's 
 fearful and wonderful organism, not one thought of drug 
 medication entered into my conceptions while thus seek'^ 
 ing after some remedial process or agent capable of meet- 
 ing the emergency of my case. 
 
 I knew from my brother's recent experience that 
 drugs could accomplish nothing in such an extremity ; 
 and consequently my whole scheme of organic recon- 
 struction aimed solely to aid and abet the physical laws 
 of my being, thereby to counteract, if possible, the 
 work of disease and destruction going on in my system. 
 Ajid with the most penetrating mental effort of my 
 whole life, I thought I saw that the only way to coun- 
 teract these rapidly cumulating inroads of dissolution 
 was by some means, as stated in Part I, to supplant in 
 the circulation the disease -bearing germs whiah were

 Compared to the present .system of drug administra- 
 tion, for keeping in order the machinery' of the body, 
 the new treatment, .so thoroughly demonstrated in my 
 own ca.se during forty years, is a positive and most start- 
 ling revolution which must command the respect of the 
 thinking world. 
 
 At the time of my lifo-and-deatli struggle, so often re- 
 feiTed to in this pamphlet, I reasoned with myself, from 
 the premises substantially as here set fortli, tliat if the 
 colon at given periods could be thoroughly cleanse<l of 
 its more deleterious contents mechanically, on the ordin- 
 ary principles of hydraulic action, it would instantly give 
 room for the di.scharge of the less putrid contents of 
 the small intestine through the Ulco-cade valve into the 
 vacuum thus formed, while this .second partial vacancy 
 above would allow the duodenum and stomach to rid 
 themselves of any unduly detained food, perhaps in a 
 state of fermentation, half -digested and already f-enet- 
 ating the deleterious acid which so olVn n • actations

 T saw in that desperate stnr.'glo for existent*' rle t the 
 acid thus generate.1 in the stomach from fo..u undnlv 
 <letained near the very seat of vitality, not only irritated 
 and weakened the digestive membrane of that onmn 
 thus aiding and abetting dy.sMop.sia, hn; that this corrod- 
 ing and semi-poisonous li(iuid, after mixing with ;in<l par- 
 tially neutralising the gastric juice, entered into the .Gen- 
 eral circulatimi to instigate fevers ot all kimls by semi- 
 inHammation of the organic tissues wherever it pene- 
 trated, even to the reddened cuticle of tlie body. 
 
 I further saw that to stop the work of poisciniiir^ the 
 organism with this dyspepsia-breeding and fevei-inTlam- 
 ing acid, there must be room made below into which the 
 ston'ach could empty itself readily ami that this couhl 
 only be done by some heroic process of dis'^or-rin-r the 
 overtaxed colon of its contents, thus enabling the small 
 intestine, by discharging its deleterious contents into its 
 normal reservoir, to make a free course, for the stomach 
 and duodenum to do their vital work. 
 
 To cure dyspepsia and its sympathetic evil effects on 
 tliroat, liver, heart, lungs, etc., and thus prevent head- 
 aches, no food should be allowed to remain in the stomach 
 till fermentation shall begin. To effect this result, a.rain 
 1 fissert that the colon should periodical ly be cleartMl of 
 Its contents, when infallibly, by a law as sure as that of 
 gravitation, the intestinal canal above, even up to the 
 duodenum, will free itself, thus as infallibly riddin.r the 
 stomach of all food-remnants before they can havelime 
 to ferment and generate their characteristic acid. 
 
 For yeai-s before the adoption of my discovery I was 
 one of the most wretched victims of dyspepsia that ever 
 lived. For forty years past, however, as J solemnly de- 
 clare, I have not felt the slightest intimation ol that dis- 
 tressing disease, even without a thought as to the kind 
 of food I should eat. This mighty physiological chancre 
 IS now easily within the reach of every suffeiin<r dv^- 
 peptic. '^ ^'

 In re{isoiiin,<r on the or^^anic economy, I saw that not 
 only did the vital circulation pick up seeds of disease and 
 decay through tlie absorption of putridity from the col<m 
 and even many times from the illium and jejunum, but 
 that the stomach itself, as just sugnjested, helped on these 
 disease-producing processes in alfthe affected parts of the 
 body by sending into the circulation the veiy poisonous 
 di'cgs of over-detained food by not being permitted to rid 
 itself of the incumbrance thus abnormally detained 
 tln-ougli the interruption of tlie channel below. 
 
 The sewer of our street if clogged even a mile l)elow 
 our residence, not only poisons the aii- at every outlet 
 above, but in our very residence it backs up its deleter- 
 ious effects, thus nmltiplying dangers to life and health 
 by preventing the escape of our waste materials. To 
 purify the residence the sewer below should be flushed 
 till the passageway is clear to its very outlet. 
 
 Thus, as I firmly believed then and now know, by flush- 
 ing the colon through mechanical and hydraulic means 
 and removing all obstruction, the generation of acid 
 in the stomach would cease by this organ's ])assino- 
 its unwholesome contents through the duodenum, when 
 the welcome stranger, hunger, would again knock for 
 admission. I foresaw that by thus freeing the colon of 
 its putrid contents, the myriad invisible absorbents of 
 that viscus would cease their cruel and pernicious em- 
 ployment of conveying to the vital fluids the germs of 
 putridity, and that this vital circulation in turn, thus free 
 from impure matter, would go on with its normal health- 
 giving work of carrying to all parts of the organism the 
 germs of pure nutrient substances extracted from the un- 
 fermented food in the stomach as fast as digested, and from 
 the chime and chyle in the duodenum. 
 
 These early conceptions of the natural working of the 
 vital economy, I am happy to say, 1 have found to be the 
 literal [)hysiological truth in my own carefully analyzed 
 experience during all these years of patient and persistent 
 investigation.

 forcing a full quart of warm water into the colon, (.1. 
 taming a still more encouraging discharge. Thou'^l 
 cheered by my success, this was only a bagatelle to tTu 
 ideal I had sketched in my imaginary triumph over an 
 utomical obstacles to aid nature in her work of i-estorin 
 and protecting health, and of prolonging human life. 
 
 I knew enough of human experience to remember th;it 
 athletes could accomplish wonderful things by the grad- 
 ual education of their physical powers up'to the winninij 
 point, but that the achievements thus easily reached ii- 
 time wouM have been a total impossibility at the start. 
 Hence, while determined for the final result, I resolved t(^ 
 feel my way and act with an eye to due caution and finai 
 triumph. 
 
 Accordingly, two evenings thereafter, I resumed nn 
 task, measuring out two quarts of water, warm enou<di 
 to be comfortable to the hand, and to increase its lubn- 
 cating quality I added a little soap. Owing to tl;-:-. in- 
 creased quantity it required a still greater effort to inject 
 It, particularly in forcing it past the sigmoid HexHre oi 
 first bend in the colon, just above the rectum. (Set 
 Plate.) But after this had been passed, the operation be 
 came comparatively pleasant and was accompanied with 
 no sensation of pain. 
 
 This time I made an effort to hold the water for sonu 
 minutes which required considerable exertion and exer- 
 cise of will power; but I soon learned that the lon^rer ] 
 retained the water the less inclined was it to break away 
 after which I let it discharge at my leisure, with a copi- 
 ous relief of the abdominal pressure. 
 
 I thus felt that I was becoming master of the situation 
 and that my triumph over my trouble was at hand, as 
 this last heroic effort had produced such reaction as 
 to make a decided improvement in my general feelings. 
 I had given myself up entirely to this desperate depart- 
 ure, and the whole outside world, with all its cares and 
 attractions, was as nothing in my mind compared to the 
 result of this revolutionary enterprise.

 Two evenings after this T came to my fourdi attom|)t, 
 but with some misgiving and uncertainty as to the result. 
 I measured out i]iVi:e <iuari!< of tepid Avater of a tempera- 
 ture comfortably warm to my naked hand, and with reso- 
 lute but careful persistence I injected the entire (piantity. 
 I then waited in a cum Lent position on m}- back, for 
 about ten minutes, thus allowing tliC water to circulate 
 as freely as might be toward the termination of the 
 small intestine at 7, in plate. I held this quantity, how- 
 ever, as easily as I had held the two ([uarts previously 
 taken, for the colon was now less gorged, I having as yet 
 scarcely come to my long lost appetite, and had eaten but 
 sparingly since Ijcginning the new treatment. 
 
 But now came thu lirst niaiked and even startlin<T 
 change on my stomach. On discharirin:,^ this last enema 
 I felt a sudden relief at the region of the duodenum — an 
 emptying sensation which seemed to follow acoirespond- 
 ing operation thioughout the entire length of the small 
 intestine. And what was more satisfactory, l)ecause ex- 
 actly the result I had pictured in my analysis of the treat- 
 ment when the idea was first conceived, in half an hour 
 after the discharge of the water, and after I had retired 
 pleasantly to rest, I became so ravenously hungry that I 
 was obliged to raid the cupboard in search of someting to 
 eat. Thus was I confirmed by the most incontrovertible 
 proof of the intrinsic value of my physiological discovery. 
 
 But still, though I was well satisfied with the result of 
 my achievement, I had a curiosity as well as a scientific 
 ambition to till the measure of the original plan of inject- 
 ing a full gallon of water into the colon if it were possil)le. 
 Accordingly, three evenings later I prepared for the final 
 test by measuring out four f| uarts of warm water. This 
 I slowly injected, cautiously feeling my way as before, 
 watching and analyzing its effects, though determined 
 upon the ultimate trium[)h of my discovery. 
 
 At last the work was done. And although the abdo- 
 men was greatly extended, 1 can not say I felt anything

 N. Y., twenty years ago, to whom I ma<lo known the 
 : secret of my discovery, doubted the possibility of such 
 
 a performance, until I had demonstrated it in his pres- 
 l ence to his great astonishment. In his recent explana- 
 , tion of the treatment, by my permission, to Dr. Heustis, 
 
 of Columbus, Ohio, ho writes : — " Consumption is a \)Vo-' 
 I gressive disorder, and 1 have never been able to satisfy 
 '>. myself that the arrest of its progress can be effiected ex- 
 :ccpt by improvement in the nutritive process, if these 
 \ processes, as assumed in the foregoing, are weakened by 
 I the presence in the circulation of putrid matter absorlwd 
 ; irom the ( ^lon, then the removal of that matter by the 
 I use of water must tend to a better nourishment which 
 .: constitutes, perliaps, the only cure for that malady. Iti 
 I my practice I have invariably found that fenuile weak- 
 f nesses, nervousness, periodical headaches, and various dis- 
 I orders in both sexes, have yielded to the in)proved 
 \ nourishment resulting from this water process ; the great- 
 ,'est difficulty arising from the impossibility in some cas;'s 
 of getting the patient to use a sufficient (piantity. 1 am 
 jable to say that I have seen Dr. Hall inject a full gallon 
 l into his bowels, hold it while walking (quarter of a mile 
 land then discharge it. He wishes me to say to you that 
 I he has done this hundreds of times. And furthermore 
 
 % - - - 
 
 I that he has often taken a quart of water at night into 
 I the colon, gone to sleep with it, and discharge it lu-fore 
 I morning through the kidneys, thus pioving that absorp- 
 ; tion may remove a very large amount of liijuid from the 
 1 colon. This he regards as invaluable in all kidney 
 I troubles, &c." 
 
 1 Thus I bring the second part of my pamphlet to a close 
 I with this statement of ijistruetive facts, vei ilied bv my 
 : own long ex))erience, and which verification can easily 
 I be repeated by any reader of this little work who has

 As prevention is always better than cure, I most 
 earnestly recommend this thishing treatment of the colon, 
 to persons in the most exuberant health, at least every 
 third night before retiring, in order to keeji pure and 
 uiieoMtaminated the circulation of the vital tluids of tlir 
 svstem, even if no sicrn of disease shall be discernible in 
 any organ of the body. In this way a sound constitu- 
 tion may retain youthful vii^or almost iu'lcHnitely. 
 
 This was the view taken of the new treatment by i)i'. 
 Stevens the moment I named it to him in Svracuse, more 
 than twenty years ago, — even Ijelore that pliiise of its 
 advantages had impressed itself upon my own mind. 
 
 He was then in the bloom of healthful vigor, and, as 
 soon as it was practically demonstrated to him, ho adopt- 
 ed the treatment and ])ut it into regular ))ractico, solely, 
 he said, as a preventive of disease of any kind getting a 
 foothold in his vital economy. 
 
 He reasoned that if the prevention of the germs of 
 putridity and decay from entei'ing into the circulation 
 and locating themselves in the organism would cure a 
 complication of diseases, as demonstrated in my own case, 
 then surely, by assisting nature in advance, it would Itc 
 a manifold easier process to guard against all forms of 
 disease which originate in such deleterious germs if tlicy 
 should be entirely kept out of the circulation in the lirst 
 place, and thus forestalled in their mischievous work. 
 
 The result has been that during all these years the 
 Doctor has not had one day's sickness, and now, in his 
 seventy-first year, is the healthiest and most vigorous 
 man of his age I ever looked upon. 
 
 Of course in this respect he holds vastly over the 
 
 writer with his already shattered constitution to start 
 
 with and with a fraction only of a left lung to watch and 
 
 arse from continually recuiiing cokls at the slightest 
 
 possible provocation.

 excreted from the organism, would find its way through 
 these threatened organs, and with it carry away in Fts 
 ])assftge every vestage of ache, pain and soreness in these 
 organs. 
 
 '"^cores of times, wht-n thus attacked, I have had the 
 satisfaction of getting up the next morning as well as [ 
 rvi'i-wasin my life, thitddng, with sadness of heart, of the 
 myriad sutltMcrs writhing under the very same kind of at- 
 tacks, and for the watit of knowledge of this incompar- 
 a!>le remedy were perhaps at that very moment stariii'' 
 in the face months of suffering, and finalK', a torturin"

 Will the regular medical practitioner, who resorts to 
 drugs for all such ciitical attacks, tell me liow that (piart 
 of water fijund its way in a few hours through that 
 intestine, with no' outlets or inlets that can be detected 
 under the most powerful len.ses known to optical 
 science ? 
 
 Flaiidy and pt)sitively, as a demonstrated physiolog- 
 ical lact, that «|uart of [-ure water did find its way (|uite 
 readily, not only through the walls of that apparently 
 imiKTvious membrane, but by a circulatory system of 
 almost inlinitesimal conduits, entirelij distinct from the 
 hlood vcs.si-Js, as 1 maintain, must have made its way 
 into and through the very tissues of the kidneys, in 
 order to accc iplish its cleansing and liealing process. 
 
 I speak of a circulatory system, didinct from the 
 rnnd and arterial si/demt^ ; "for why put nature to the 
 absurd trouble, if I may he allowed thus to express my- 
 self, of not ordy forcing this (piart of water through the 
 porelcss membrane of the intestine, liut also forcing it 
 into the venal and arteiial ves.sels through their eoually 
 poreless walls, and then, after allowing it to travel ^ few 
 inches, Ibrcing it out again throu^fh tlie same impervicuis 
 walls, in order to reach the outlet from the kidneys.

 holding, say, one gallon, from the bottom of wliieh ex- 
 tends a long rubber hose terminating with a tu)»e for in- 
 sertion into the rectum, and a moveable clamp upon the 
 rubber tubing for regulating the flow of the water. 
 
 This bag is hung to a nail against the ^^all over the 
 bed or in the l)ath-room at any convenient helLdit, .the 
 patient lying in any convenient position, and receiving 
 the water into the colun by the force of gravity. 
 
 This form of syringe, though somewhat expensive, 
 costing S3, is probably the pleasantest where a person has 
 all the conveniences re(|uired, 
 
 ^J° For descrij^tion of sijringe>^, irrices, X'c, see last 
 pufje of the Su2)p(ement. 
 
 Many persons inquire as to the temperature of the 
 water to be injected. We answer that cold water should 
 not be used, but warm water always, and the warmer 
 the better for most forms of disease, since warm water 
 more readily loosens and dislodges the imj)acted excre- 
 ment from the inner walls and irreixularities of the colon. 
 After the injection of two or three quarts, according to 
 capacity for holding it, the patient nui.st use his own 
 judgment from his feelings how long to retain it before 
 allowing it to be expelled. If convenient after receiving 
 the water, a moderate exercise of rolling on the bed, with 
 a vigorous kneading of the abdomen with the hands, will 
 facilitate a loosening of the feces incrusted alou"- the 
 inner surface of the colon. This of course is common 
 sense which everybody ought to exercise almost without 
 being told. 
 
 Few })eople realize the real nature and danger of con- 
 stipation, which is the cause of a majority of hu.man ail- 
 ments. Many suppose because they have a daily move- 
 ment of the bowels, however slicjht, that thev are free 
 from constipation, whereas they may have this terrible 
 ailment in its very worst stages, with the colon incrusted 
 on all sides with impacked excrement of months' stand- 
 ing, with only a small eentral channel for the daily dis- 
 charges that ooze throui-h the illeo-cd'cle valve.

 ]3i.ssections have recently been made of jjcrsons who 
 had died of constipation, or of diseases engendei'ed there- 
 by, in wliich the colon was found to be in this very con- 
 dition, — with impacted feces that had been accumulating 
 for months, and almost as hard as wood. Hence the 
 necessity of this heroic flushing treatment which we were 
 so fortunate as to discover, and of which we made the 
 original application moj-e than forty years ago. 
 
 But as we have recently explained in the Microrosm 
 (September and November numbers), many doct(jrs have 
 come into the possession of this treatment through a lec- 
 ture delivered by Dr. Stevens, to whom we had revealed 
 the discovery more than twxdve years ago, some of whom 
 lack the magnanimity to give us due credit even after 
 they liave the un([uestionable proofs of our right to the 
 discovery placed before them. 
 
 Most of these doctors, however, who have thus casually 
 come into possession of this heroic method of Hushing the 
 colon for a general renovation of the system by a radical 
 purification of the blood, have the honor and nol»ility to 
 acknowledoe us as the original discoverer and founder of 
 the treatment. 
 
 A few shallow-minded medical practitioners, who have 
 learned of our hei'oic method of a general flushing of the 
 colon as a methodieal renovation of the system, are so 
 superficial and malevolent as to pretend that this method 
 is substantially the same as the small rectal enemas 
 employed for the relief from local feces, and which have 
 been known for centuries, and have genei-ally been 
 given in about the same quantities to both children and 
 adults. 
 
 No man was ever the original discoverer of mei'e rec- 
 tal injections for the relief of that section of the colon. 
 This process was known to the lower animals, and was 
 inculcated by nature long before man was upon the 
 earth. This may seem strange, but we have facts to 
 prove it.

 The Ihis, for example, a spocios of Egyptian snipe 
 whose food, gathered along the edge of the Nile, was of a 
 very constipating character, was observed by the earliest 
 naturalists to suck up the water of the river, and with 
 its long bill to inject it into its anus, thus to aid a move- 
 ment of this portion of the alimentary canal. 
 
 Pliny says that this habit of the Ibis is what first sug- 
 gested the use of clysters to the ancient Egyptian doc- 
 tors, known to be the first medical practitioners of any 
 nations, not excepting the Chinese. [See Natu.rui His- 
 torium, Lib. VIII., Dap. 4J, Haga>, 1518.] 
 
 Other writers, such as Christianas Langius, have re- 
 ferred to the fact that this bird when attacked with con- 
 stipation at some distance from the river and not able to 
 fly from weakness, would be seen to crawl with drooping 
 wings to the water's edge and administer its all-recupei^ 
 ating rectal treatment, when in a few minut(?s it would 
 sail away in the full vigor of its vitality. What folly, 
 therefore, to object to enemas on the plea that this treat- 
 ment IS not taught by nature, when an animal low in 
 the scale of organic being intuitively knows more in the 
 direction of health than some of our most eminent medi- 
 cal practitioners ! 
 
 It only remained after ages had passed awav for some 
 one in the fullness of time to carry this knowledge of the 
 Egyi)tian snipe to its legitimate 'limit as applied to the 
 more complex abdominal anatomv of the human organ- 
 ism, and thus, by inaugurating the flushing of the entire 
 colon and the reflex flushing of the kidneys, to attack 
 disease as it was never before attacked. Those bigoted 
 empiricists, therefore, who ask for authority for the use of 
 the flushing process for the cure of disease are referred to 
 the God of nature, who taught the Ihi>^ to use this treat- 
 ment, at least in its incipiency, to counteract the very 
 derangement which has become under our modern civiliz- 
 ation the fruitful source of a majority of human ailments. 
 One thing, hov/ever, gives us cause for rejoicinn-, 
 namely, that however reluctant a few of the medical

 will critically study this able and carefully won.led tieat- 
 ise, and remember that this is not our statement, but an 
 outside contirmatiun of our discovery by one of the best 
 medical authorities in the United States. Here it is

 FLUSHING THE COLON.* 
 
 Flushing of the colon is a very simple and a very 
 effective remedy. The muscular coats of the intestines 
 are circular and longitudinal. In the lar^^e intestine the 
 longitudinal fibres are proportionately longer than in the 
 small intestine. Their greater length permits the forma- 
 tion of a loculi, which become the seat of fecal accunui- 
 lations only too often unnoticed l)y the physician. It is 
 undoubtedly a fact that the loculi of the colon contain 
 small fecal accumulations extending over weeks, months, 
 or even years. Their presence ])roduces symptoms vary- 
 ing all the Way from a little catarrhal irritation up to the 
 most diverse, and in some instances, serious reflex disturb- 
 ances. When the loculi only are tilled, the main channel 
 of the colon is undisturbed. Occasionally a loculus wiil 
 become greatly enlarged and filled with feces, reaching

 movements of the bowels occur. The diagnosis of fecal 
 accumulations is facilitated by i" ^uiring as to the color 
 of the daily discharges. A black or a very dark green 
 color almosc always indicates that the feces are ancient. 
 Prompt discharge of food refuse is indicated by more or 
 less yellow coU-r. It would be interesting to iiKiuin; why 
 fresh feces are yellow and ancient feces are dark. 
 
 Absorption of thi; feces from the colon leads to a great 
 many ditierent symptoms; amongst others, ana'ma, with 
 its results, sallow or yellow comi)lexion, with itschloasmic 
 spots, furred tongue, foul breath, and muddy sclerotics. 
 Such patients have digestive fermentations to torment 
 them, resulting in ilatulent distention which encroaches 
 on the cavity of the chest, which in excessive cases, niay 
 cause short and rapid breathing, irregular heart action, 
 disturbed circulation in the brain, with vertigo, aJid hea.l- 
 achc An over-distended ca'cum, or sigmoid flexure, from 
 pressure, may produce dropsy, numbness or cramps in 
 the right or left lower extremity. A physical examina- 
 tion that will determine this impaction is simi)licity itself. 
 By placing the patient on his back, with the knees well 
 drawn up, the physician can place one hand on the abdo- 
 men, below the tenth or eleventh cartilage, with tlie lin- 
 gers of the other hand in the posteiior hypochondriac 
 region. The ascending or descending colon can easily be 
 pressed forward against the hand in front of the abdomen. 
 The hand in front should be kept tirm and innnoyable. 
 A little practice will enable one to very readily distin- 
 guish these r-cunmlations. Conjoined manipulation only 
 enables one lecide the incontestible ])resence of impac- 
 tion of the cole Percussion sounds may be so obfuscated 
 by adventitious circumstances as to render them value- 
 less. Conjoined manipulation can be very quickly prac- 
 tised, and is the most satisfactory method of examination. 
 Its only uncertainty of detecting accunmlations is in very 
 obese patients. In them a flushing will dispel doubts.

 at times, of late, has had it all the time. Flushing tiist 
 given the Kith of May, 1887, twice per week", at bedtime. 
 At first they produced pain and nausea, and once vomit- 
 ing followed. These adverse symptoms were relieved 
 when the water passed. The discharges from her bowels 
 were simply enormous. They were continued until she 
 })assed yellow feces. On the '2Sth of June .she was eating 
 everything. She lias become a good breakfaster. On 
 the first of August slie was doing all lier own housework, 
 the first time in three years. 
 
 Case IV. — Miss C, age .SO, always constipated. Vovy 
 muddy complexion, chloasmic spots all over her face, 
 capricious app'tite, seeks relief for a progressively in- 
 creasing nervousness, which has been upon her for the 
 past three yci rs, and is very much worse in the past six 
 months, and threatens to lead her to a suicide's crave. 
 She experiences sudden misgivings; .she lias nervous 
 jirostration, colon filled to an enormous extent. Flushing 
 was used and continued daily for a period of one month, 
 when she reported that she was better in every way, 
 does not give out any more; is stronger in all things ; 
 her complexion is clearing out; the chloasmic spots are 
 unchangf>d ; the appetite decidedly vigorous. In this 
 case the Tecal reliefs were enormous, and the improve- 
 ments so rapid that there was no question of there beino- 
 cause and effect. 
 
 Case V'. — Mrs. A., age 34-, has been having epileptic 
 convulsions since April, 1883, two years subseijuent to 
 her only confinement. Immediately after her confine- 
 ment, in February, 1881, .she began to experience nervous 
 symptoms, such as numbness, twitching of the left side 
 of the body ; these increased until convulsions began in 
 April, 1883. From that time until the 1st of May, 1887,

 can physicians. Slio liad had the ccivi.v and porinciiu. 
 dosod by operation ; slie had had ahnost endless medica- 
 tion, liud iised liydropatliy, hut still the convulsions con- 
 tinued. Careful examination revealed a loaded colon, 
 universal con^^estion of the pelvic oi^^^ans, and renal in- 
 sutticieney. [t was evident that the convulsions arose 
 from some trouble upon the left side of her pelvis, which, 
 in a normal state, would not produce convulsions, as 
 subsequent events showed, l)ut in a eoiiM-ested condition 
 was sure to precijiitate convulsions. This was shown by 
 the fact that the convulsions were preceded by an intense 
 a<,dtation of the muscles of the left lower extremity, 
 which became more and more uncontrollable! until the 
 convulsion developed a pain in the left leg, and could be 
 produc(;d by a pressure on the left side of the pelvis. 
 Treatment for left-sided sciatica with ether and ice was 
 given immediately after confinement. Pain through the 
 pelvis from over-exertion, or from too much standing 
 would be produced in the left leg, just the same as would 
 be produced by digital pressure, there never was a con- 
 vulsion that was not preceded by this disturbance of the 
 left side. Matters clearly pointed to the pelvis for treat- 
 ment for the relief of the convulsions. It was considered 
 that if the pelvic difficulty could be relieved by anv 
 means, that possibly the convulsions would be arrested"- 
 accordingly, daily flushings of the colon and a diuretic 
 were used ; glycerine tampons were also daily used. The 
 amount of relief was very great. For weeks the daily 
 report was that the flushings came away lookin<^ like 
 soapsuds, in.li'ating a probable overplus of bile, which 
 seemed to be confirmed by the fact of stomach indirres- 
 tion and intestinal fermentations which she had had°for 
 years. 
 
 The result of the treatment so improved the patient 
 that in three months after the beginning of tlie flush in^i-s, 
 etc., the convulsions ceased for a period of nineteen

 months, hilling tliat time she again visited Kurope, re- 
 laxed her vigilance as to the care of her health, returning 
 to America in January of the present year. IFer face 
 showed that she was absorbing feces again, and in various 
 ways she indicatccl that her trouble was returning. He- 
 fore she left fo)' Europe the pelvic organs were in a con- 
 dition demanding no further treatim.'nt. She was urged 
 to retuin to her llushings, which she omitted to do, and 
 went straight on her ini(|uitous course of neglecting hei-- 
 self, and in February, al»out a month later, she ha"l one 
 of the most terrific convulsions she had ever experienced, 
 
 I believe that the flushings did for this patient what 
 medicine could not do. They thoroughly evacuated her 
 bowel and gave her alimentary canal a chance to absorb 
 food instead of feces. I furthermore consider that the 
 successful treatment of this patient with medicine, with- 
 out tlushingsof the colon, will be entirely unsuccessful. 
 
 Case VI. — Miss U. has been liaving chills daily, has a 
 constant bad taste in the mouth, has vertigo, scalding 
 urine, has eczema extensively in the riglit luind and 
 lingers. Examination reveals a loaded colon, although 
 her bowels may move nearly every d;iy. Ordered daily 
 flushings of the colon, a daily laxative, and the potash 
 citrate. In a week the ch'T , ce. «cd entirely, the vertigo 
 had disappeared, the urmc was improving. Medicines 
 stopped, and the flushings contiimed for a period of six 
 \yeeks daily. The surprising thing is that at the end of 
 six weeks the hand was entirely well. 
 
 The question comes up, was not the eczematous con- 
 dition of the hand a thing permitted to supervene from 
 fecal absorption / 
 
 Case VII. — Mrs. D., aged 29, has psoriasis covering a 
 large portion of her body. She had as nuich unsound as 
 sound skin, has had it more or less since the Sth year of 
 her age. She is gouty, has gastric indigestion, head- 
 aches every two or three weeks, which always wind up 
 with vomiting. Alter giving her medicines for a period

 of seven montlis without niucli benefit, I discovered ai

 ings seemed to be to relieve her of nil dyspeptic troubles 
 relieved her headaches entirely, and at' the end of three 
 months of using tlushings, the psoriasis had almost en 
 tirely disappeared. 'JMie last time that she was seen s 
 tew spots of it remained on the abdomen and forearms 
 
 The (piestion arises, did the prevention of fecal absorp 
 tion I'clieve a skin disease ? 
 
 Case VIII.— Mrs. W., aged .SO, has had headaches fot 
 years anywhere from once a month to once in four or tiv 
 days, which prostiated her, lasting from six to twenty 
 four hours. She always had been constipated, am 
 strarjge to say, about the oidy thing that ailed her was 
 headache. Jier colon was found loaded. 
 
 Flusliings ordered for a period of three months, with 
 out medicines. The headaches were completely anc 
 permanently relieved ; her complexion which had alway 
 been nmddy cleared up greatly, sending out in bolde 
 relief the chloasmic spots which decorated her forehea 
 and temples. 
 
 I liave often questioned whether chloasmic spots wer( 
 not due to fecal absorption. These spots are pigmentan 
 matter deposited under the skin. It is a physiologica 
 fact that all pigments originate in the liver. In a*con 
 dition of health their abnormal deposit we never see. I 
 is only when the patient is not well in some way tha 
 these spots are noticed. They are infinitely more com 
 mon in women than in men. It is easy to see that thei 
 sedentary life is more ai)t to lead them to the filling o 
 the colon. Absorption from the colon produces i 
 poisoned blood, which in turn deranges every organ o 
 the body, among others the liver. It is possible th'at th( 
 action of light, as in photographs, contributes in som* 
 way to precipitate the deposits of these chloasmic spots 
 because we see them chiefly upon the parts of the bod} 
 exposed to light.

 We most lieaitily coiuineiiJ the foregoing authoritativ id 
 indorsement of our treatment of flushing the colon to tlit oci 
 intelligent reader of this jiauiphlet. The document shouli 
 be studied, as it is a complete demonstiation of the neces 
 sity not only of the removal of the delete) ious substance 
 whicli choke up the alimentary canal, but also the elimi ^. 
 nation of the most baneful impurities from the vital cir le 
 culation constantly accumulating therein by absorptioi 
 through the walls of the colon. 
 
 ^ Could a person even in normal health be permitted t( li 
 
 view with the naked eyes the enoimous quantity ol: feti< 
 
 matter which is constantly carried about by him withii 
 
 the lower twenty feet of the intestinal canal, all of whicL.. 
 
 might profitably be dispensed with and none of whicl )ol 
 
 contains a particle of nutriment or useful substance; Lf Tei 
 
 would almost be driven to loathe liimself and to marve T 
 
 that he could survive for a single day suicharged witl nd 
 
 such a frightful mass of putridity. ne 
 
 No wonder that practical surgeons, familiar as the} siis 
 
 have been from professional necessity with the dissectini,' i^ei 
 
 rooms of medical colleges and hospitals, and witnessing 
 
 as they have the exposure of these abdominal contents, - 
 
 so readily fall into the rational and absolute importance ot 
 
 of the heroic process of flushing the colon, when its prac 
 
 ticalnlity is once fairly brought to their attention. 
 
 Up to the time of our discovery, now forty-one year-.^. 
 ago, it was not considered safe or even possible to inject icl 
 more than a pint of water into the rectum, and such ai 
 idea as forcing such enema above the sigmoid flexure ha< 
 never entered the conception of the most daring medica 
 practitioner. Hence the astonishment exhibited by sucl. .., 
 a man as Dr. Willard Parker, of New York, the most|m( 
 learned and distinguished physician in the United State.-

 Whether we defer it two days or four days as our 
 business necessities, engagements and circumstances may 
 sometimes require, we never have a call or the slightest de- 
 mand for a movement till we begin to feel oppi"'ssed and 
 are oady deliberately to wash the inside just as we would 
 prepare to take a bath at stated periods and wash the 
 outside. This is our experience and lias been for more 
 than forty years, and all the money in Wall Street would 
 not buy us off. 
 
 Dr. Stevens,however, one of the soundest medical think- 
 ers, and who has been a thorough practitioner of our 
 treatment for more than twenty years, or ever since 
 we first revealed it to him, declares in a letter now 
 before us that it in no wise interferes in his case with 
 the normal movements of his bowels, as he has frequently 
 discontinued the treatment for a week or so for the very 
 purpose of testing its effects in this direction. 
 
 We ought to note here before closing this supplement, 
 that a few persons who have adojjted this fiushing treat- 
 ment, because they have no movement the next day, sup- 
 pose that all natural action has ceased, and at once' they 
 become alarmed and wi-ite to us to know what is the 
 matter ! We answer— just what naturally ought to be 
 the matter. If the colon is flushed and cleaned"out as it 
 should be, it naturally ought to take it a couple of days 
 to fill up again, and if a person were not gorginrr his 
 stomach with twine as much food as the nutrient%on- 
 ditions of his organism require, it might take three and 
 even four days before the colon was sufficiently rechanred 
 for another evacuation-pressure. '^ 
 
 The truth is ninety-nine hundredths of the people eat 
 double as much food as is required to keep the human 
 engine properly fired up for running the machinery of the 
 body, and especially the more important machinery of 
 the mind. We never eat but two meals a day, and these 
 moderate, and have never been so well physically, and so 
 vigorous intellectually, as when living on one' sciuare 
 meal a day.

 Still, this marvellous flushing process, even with a gor- 
 mandizer, will dispose of the residuum of any reasonable 
 amount of food if it is only attended to regularly and 
 thoroughly. 
 
 We say, however, to all who purchase this pamphlet, 
 don't get scared if you do not have the regular periodi- 
 cal, semi-diurnal trot as of old; but remember that if 
 this treatment does its work as it should, you have 
 nothing co trot for except perhaps once every two or 
 three days. This is our experience, and we know posi- 
 tively whereof we speak. 
 
 To object to this flushing process on the ground that 
 it is contrary to nature, and that it casts discredit upon 
 the wisdom of the Creator, is superstitious nonsense. It 
 is no more contrary to nature than the artificial use of 
 cathartics or emetics, the use of spectacles ear-trumpets, 
 artificial teeth, cork legs or crutches tor the lame. 
 
 It was once (200 years ago) almost a disgrace for a man 
 to carry an umbrella, because God had not revealed it, 
 and because it was supposed to evince weakness, effemi- 
 nacy, etc. Now it is quite popular. We have many pre- 
 judices yet to outgrow. Man's intellect was given to him 
 as an aid by which he could discover wherein nature had 
 failed to meet his wants and supply the deficiency ; and 
 without a single doubt the greatest of all these discove- 
 ries, involving as it does the perpetuation of good health 
 and the prolongation of life, is this process of the heroic 
 fiusliinir of the colon.

 THE OBJECT OP THIS SUPPLEMENT. 
 
 Dr. Hall's hygienic treatment, thoiiLch a wonderful con- 
 stitutional invigorator and a specific cure for many 
 troubles, notably constipation, can yet, in very many 
 cases, be rendered much more potent and certain as a 
 remedial agent in alliance with certain other hygienic 
 agencies. This subsidiary treatment, it is the object of 
 this supplement to supply. 
 
 We disclaim all attempts at literary style and rhetori- 
 cal finish. Our only aim shall be to be concise, accurate 
 and practical. 
 
 Some of the subjects treated — indeed all — to satisfy an 
 inquiring and investigating mind would recjuire much 
 more detail in analysis, argument and illustration than is 
 possible in the space at our command. 
 
 The Respiratjox Cure. — The late Prof. 0. S. Fowler 
 being at one time — in the year 1838 — in a very weak 
 condition, the effects of much over-work, threw himself, 
 exhausted and all beat out, upon tl^e lounge and involun- 
 tarily fell to panting like an over-run dog, " breathing 
 deep and fast, as if perishing for more breath, as one 
 sometimes will when all beat out." 
 
 To his great surprise and greater delight, in an almost 
 incredibly short time — but a few minutes — the feeling of 
 exhaustion passed away ; he arose, walked two and one- 
 half miles to Liberty Hall, Pliiladelphia, and delivered 
 much the best lecture of an entire course ; returning 
 home, sat down to his desk and wrote with wonderful 
 freedom and energy as if under and impelled by the 
 afflatus of some mighty inspiration, until after sunrise 
 the next morning, and without food or sleep, just on the 
 extra strength he had derived from that extra rapid, deep 
 breathing. He says, " and thousands of times since when

 hreat/miij-care, havin<r tested it scores of times and always 
 vvith the same ^natifying result. The reader will pardon 
 the relation of a personal experience as in no other way 
 CMi. 1 so well illustrate the process and its effects to the 
 edification of the uninitiated. At one time compelled to 
 write all ni-ht after the routine of a busy day of office 
 work, I retired at the hour of four o'clock a.m., tired and 
 nervous, in l.alf an hour sleep came, I slept until seven 
 and then awoke, feeling almost as if I had been without 
 sleep lor a whole week-all unstrung, weak and miserable. 
 1 arose, threw up the windows of my bed-room facin.r the 
 north and opened wide the door, a stiff breeze immedlate- 
 y flooded the apartment with pure air, I returned to bed 
 leaving the windows open, lay upon my back, threw my 
 shoulders back towards each other and my chest forward 
 as much as possible to allow the lungs all available space 
 tor expansion. I then began breathing, at first deep and 
 slowly, hlhng the lungs to their utmost capacity, retain- 
 ing tiie air tor a few moments and then exi)elled it slowly 
 through the nose-ahvays through that channel with .he 
 mouth tightly closed. The nasal passage at first being 
 dry It was difhcult to force the a=r back and forth through

 electrical and chemical action of the l)l()()d resulting in 
 increased force of its circulation soon lubricated the'^air 
 passages and respiration became free and easy. F then 
 inspired as deeply and as lapidly as possible until, for the 
 instant, I became dixzy, holding the last breath almost as 
 long as possible. The sensation at this point, buzzing 
 and clatter as of a passing and distant train, being pre" 
 cisely the same, except only in degree of intensity? with 
 that produced by a deep inhalation of Compoun.l < )xv'gen 
 —so famed for its tonic and vitalizing properties— (ad- 
 ministered five times for So, or a mcmth's supply for Si •").)* 
 Jn a moment reaction set in — as it always does — sending 
 the blood, thinned by the Oxygen, bounding and rushing 
 throughout the entire system', from finger tips to tip-toes, 
 producing a prickling sensation in all those paits most 
 exercised; especially marked and remarkable was the 
 sensation down the whole length of the spinal column, 
 being that of a wai-m wave or current rapidly increasing' 
 in heat until it I'ecame hot and glowing, producing almost 
 profuse perspiration all over the body. 
 
 The sensation at this stage is extremely soothing and 
 pleasant, and so is it, indeed, progressively from begin- 
 ning to this happy climax— it is the re-vitalized (ind re- 
 vitalizing hlooil-ivavc of reneived vigor and healths tree p- 
 ing tliroagh the system, super-heating its lluids by com- 
 bustion of the carbon and excess of carbon, and thereby 
 producing such force of peripheral circulation as to cause 
 sweating more or less profuse— an internal "steaudm/ up;' 
 opening of the pores of the skin, thus literallv cau'sing a 
 fractional scrubbing and flushing-out of the accumulared 
 poison from within by water super-heated for this very 
 purpose by the processes described.

 in about twenty minutes, I arose perfectly recovered from

 step elastic and linn, and more surprising than all cisi- 
 experienced, my voice which had ])ecome so emasculated 
 thin and stpieaky, from a severe attack of neuralgia of 
 the stomach, that I was ashamed to let it be heard—to my 
 great astonishment and intense delight, had sud.lenly ac- 
 tpured that strength, fulness of compass and magnetic mel- 
 ody so truly in.licative of sex in its normal condition. 
 
 It IS not at all necessary, unless on account of extreme 
 weakness, to lie in bed to avail one's self of tliis peerless 
 UeH2nrahon-(Uire. Any where and at all times, v^h^re 
 (lie air is pure, deep breathing may be practised (luite 
 unobserved. And frecpiently, when at home, have 1 
 thrown open the window of the sitting-ro( >m, thrown back 
 the shoulders and the chest forward, my hands in my 
 pockets, and pacing the floor, put the ra.jnd breathin*^ 
 mto practice until in a few minutes vigor and warmth 
 were realized in abundanee--done generally when chilly 
 or tired of long sitting at the table writing. 
 
 Here, then, in the ReRinration-Cure, is the counter- 
 
 l)art to Dr. Hal! s system of Pushing out impurities to 
 
 promote health, only that this has the vastly superior 
 
 merit of being per fedly natural, purely hygienic and a 
 
 thousand times more dircdly the one infallible source 
 
 and incxhaustiJde fountain of all nervous enerqy ami 
 
 tJierefore 0/ muscular tone and yeneral health. Tt,' also 
 
 has the added advantage of being "always handy" and 
 
 everywhere available. Joined together in this little 
 
 pamphlet for the first time in the history of mankind, and 
 
 expressly for their everlasting physical purification' and 
 
 benefit, may these two systems of treatment never be put 
 
 asunder. Amen.

 not cure. But, like salvation, it must be made a personal 
 matter and put into everyday, vi<;jorous exercise, or phys- 
 ically you nuiy miserably perish. Thousands of people 
 are too indolent to breathe more than one half or one 
 'luarter necessary to health, and are therefore, and Ihere-

 CATARRH OF THE NOSE, HEAD AND THROAT. 
 
 This is a loathsome disease and so very common that 
 but few escape it entirely. Its symptoms are so well 
 known that we do not deem it necessary to describe them 
 here. The breath is ever laden with a most sickening 
 stench. The seat of the disease being in the membrane 
 of the nose and passages leading to the lungs, every in- 
 spiration of air sweeps the foul poison into the lungs, not

 8. On R'rriRiNG FOR the NIC, hi, take a soft cotton 
 cioth (crash folded to the thicknv;.ss of half an inch oi- so 
 makes a nice soft pack), wring it out of cold water, just 
 so that it will not di'cep, let the pack be wide enough U> 
 extend from the point of the nosf to the middle of the 
 head, and long enough to extend back to the ears, place 
 it in the position imlicated, packing it well down to the 
 sides of the nose and eyes. Secure the pack in position 
 by a dry towel drawn tightly against it and so secure<l 
 that it will not be easily (li->j)laccd during sleep. 'J'he ob- 
 ject is to thoroughly soak and open the pores and liy the 
 generation of an internal steam bath, flood the catarrh 
 poison and hence fever out thiough the pores thus open- 
 ed. And this will l)e most effectually done if the pack 
 be kept in position so closely as to exchide the outside air 
 which would chill the i)art and not o\\\y preixnt the- in- 
 tended effect, but cause additional cold and therefore 
 increase rather than lessen the evil. Bear in mind the 
 F.VCT that success in this pack treatment depends on suc-

 SYniNOES. — We keep constantly in stook three of the 
 best styles of this itistruiuorit for the pm-po^es of our 
 treatment. The BuLi; (loul>Ie valved, with metal or hard 
 rubber points, and the foai' (piart fountain with about 
 o feet of tul)ing, nasal tube for treating catarrh, etc. 'J'his 
 is by all odds the l)est and in every way the niojit satis- 
 factor}' article, as any one, all but helpless, if he can get 
 up and down alone, can treat himself, as by suspending 
 it two or three feet al»ove the patient the water liows into 
 the colon without assistance by force of gravity, and is 
 very easily controlled, and will last a life-time. " Sent by 
 m:iil pre-paid and registereiJ, on receipt of price. The 
 Bulb Syringe, 7') cents, and a better article of the same 
 style at ^100; the Fountain Syringe, S'},0().
