ON THE CAUSES OF DISEASE. $b 
forerunne, or rather an indication, and being accompanied by 
pain, it becomes our duty merely to restore the equilibrium of the 
circulation. This removes the inflammation, and promotes a fret 
and ful circulation of the blood all over the system, zo that there 
thall be no excess (inflammation) anywhere. This is what we 
eall subduing the inflammation, with this difference, however, 
that we resort to natural means and sanative medication instead 
of using the fleam and cathartics. The means are warmth, moist- 
are, stimulants, and friction ; and clothing to the extremities and 
te parts of the boly that are cold; and cold applications to part: 
that are unnaturally hot. One of the best equalizers of the cir- 
culation is the “ Roman bath,” the vapor bath, and wet packing. 
Should the inflammation exist internally, then give plenty of 
warm water, emolient drinks, and emolient enemas, and keep up 
a physiological action and heat on the surface of the body by 
means of friction and warm clothing. In this simple way the 
sirculation of the blood is equalized, or, in other words, the in- 
&smmation is “ cured ;” and, at the same time, this treatment may 
eave the disease as well as the inflammation.
