Part 21

=Tabes Dorsalis.=--Posterior spinal sclerosis, commonly called from its chief symptom “locomotor ataxia,” recovers in 40 to 50 per cent of cases adjusted. No accurate pre-judgment can be formed as to the probabilities in any particular case without experiment, nor has any adequate explanation been offered as to why some cases recover and others do not. Those cases which improve at all are likely to recover fully. In any instance, time is required for the regeneration of the dorsal column axons, and while this is going on no improvement may be apparent at all.

=Tachycardia.=--If symptomatic, as of exophthalmic goitre, tachycardia yields as the disease does. If primary, a few adjustments usually establish a proper pulse rate.

=Tetanus.=--Only one undoubted case has been brought to the writer’s attention and this one a marvellous cure. Adjustments were given as often as every ten minutes for a time.

=Thoracic Aneurism.=--Cure exceedingly doubtful, and fatal termination possible at any time. Little information is at hand.

=Tonsilitis--Quinsy=.--Simple or follicular tonsilitis aborts under adjustment in from a few hours to two or three days. Quinsy, or suppurative tonsilitis, runs its regular course as to duration, but is frequently a febrile after the first day. Spontaneous rupture of the tonsil will usually occur and sometimes two or three such ruptures will lengthen the case slightly. Sequalae are wanting, but all forms of tonsilar inflammation tend to recur unless a long course of corrective adjustments is applied to the cervical region.

=Torticollis.=--Acute spastic or rheumatic torticollis in which permanent contractures have not yet set in may be cured almost invariably in a period varying from a few days to several weeks. Chronic cases with permanent contractures yield very slowly, but prognosis is good for a fairly accurate straightening of the neck. Such cases often leave slight abnormalities even in the most competent hands.

=Tuberculosis, Pulmonary.=--See Pulmonary Tuberculosis.

=Tumors, Benign.=--Unlike malignant growths, benign tumors, fatty, fibroid, etc., tend to gradual absorption under adjustment. Perhaps 75 per cent or more may be completely cured. Age is a factor, tumors in young subjects being more readily curable than in the aged or infirm.

=Tumors, Malignant.=--Prognosis bad. If cancer in any form can be cured proof has escaped the author’s diligent search. It is wisest to refuse all cancerous cases.

=Typhoid Fever.=--Prognosis excellent if adjustments are commenced during first week of fever, in which case the fever should be aborted at once, followed by one or two mild exacerbations, then permanently checked. Doubtful prognosis after first week, because of liability to perforation during adjustment. After second week of fever very grave prognosis under adjustment, and better with nursing alone.

=Uteroversion--Prolapsus=.--Uteroversions and prolapses are corrected, sometimes rapidly but more often slowly and gradually. Favoring circumstances are freedom from overwork or overlifting. Some extreme cases result in failure.

=Valvular Diseases.=--These may be grouped for prognosis. No percentages have been compiled, but it may be said that the prognosis is generally good as to relief and restoration of compensation, but poor as to rebuilding of the valves. Many cases of apparent permanent and complete recovery are probably simply cases of excellent compensation. Death occasionally occurs despite adjustments.

=Varicocele.=--Outlook good for a slow, certain recovery.

=Varicose Veins.=--Probability favors cure in subjects not beyond middle life, providing they are not greatly overweight or too much on their feet. Cure always slow.

Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in this book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; occasional unbalanced quotation marks retained.

Ambiguous hyphens at the ends of lines were retained.

The hierarchy of the Table of Contents has been used as the guide to the rest of the book, even though the two sometimes differ.

Index not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references.

Page 26: “P R S” has an underline below “P” and a double-underline below “R”.

Page 34: “flexed far toward” perhaps should be “forward”.

Page 79: “as well all the details” may be missing “as” after “well”.

Page 117: “all vertebra above, so to speak” perhaps should be “vertebrae”.

Page 147: “this move is predicated” was printed as “this more was predicated”; changed here.

Page 158: “Posterior, right, inferior--P. R. I.” was printed as “P. R. L.”; changed here.

Page 187: “but is claimed” probably should be “but it is claimed”.

Page 307: “has been builded” was printed that way.
