paralysis generally comes on suddenly. Paralysis may affect but one 

 side of the human body or one or more of the limbs. Paralysis is un- 

 accompanied by pain, and the affected part becomes somewhat like a 

 piece of rubber hose, entirely devoid of feeling. Attacks of paralysis 

 are generally due to the improper functioning of the stomach and 

 lungs, together with an affection of the nerves. Paralysis is often com- 

 bined with Rheumatism. 



Neuritis is both painful and very common, but it is not dangerous. 

 A Convulsion is a spell of nervous attack. While it causes severe pain, 

 it seldom causes death. The Fong Wan Co. has relieved numerous cases 

 of Neuritis and of Convulsions. 



Apoplexy is more dangerous than Rheumatism, Neuritis, Paralysis, 

 or Convulsion. A sudden and severe attack of Apoplexy causes instant 

 death. If the stricken one has lockjaw and his fist is closed tight, 

 there is hope for his recovery. If his mouth is wide open, it shows that 

 his heart is failing. If his eyes are closed, his liver is failing. If his 

 hands are open, his spleen is failing. If he voids urine, his kidney 

 strength is gone. Sometimes the face of the sufferer is blood red and 

 the sweat pours out. Any of these terrible symptoms show that there ; 

 is no hope. Many apoplectics who have survived slight attacks have | 

 been left with a wryness of the mouth, or have lost their voices or the/ 

 use of one or more of their limbs. ^/ 





EARTHQUAKES SIMILAR TO NERVOUS ATTACKS 



The globe upon which we live is made up of five principal elements, \ 

 viz., the mineral, vegetation, water, fire, and earth elements. The j 

 human body is also composed of the five principal elements. As it / 

 draws its sustenance from the earth, each human body resembles the / 



earth in miniature. 



J 

 Whenever the fire element under the earth's crust becomes too \ 



strong or accumulates in a certain space, or whenever the planets cause j 

 intense heat on the earth, which then begins to contract and expand, J 

 earthquakes are felt. 



Similarly, in the human body, if the fire element (inflammation) in 

 the blood centers in one or more of the organs or limbs, it causes ner- 

 vous attacks, apoplexy, paralytic strokes, St. Vitus Dance, neuritis, 

 rheumatism, etc.
