Excerpt from Poliomyelitis (Infantile Paralysis)
In undertaking to publish a book on the subject of Poliomyelitis, the author is aware that this is not the first attempt made along this line. Our medical co-workers have contributed their quota, presenting their side of the subject, and giving their viewpoint regarding causative factors and treatment. This is, however, the first attempt to produce a book on this subject from the osteopathic viewpoint.
We have as our illustrious guide the late Dr. A. T. Still, originator and founder of the science of Osteopathy. No greater philosopher ever lived, and no greater physician ever served as a benefactor to the human race. His evolution of the therapeutics of adjustment, adjustment of the skeletal tissues, which has already done much to modify medical practice, is practically new to the world.
All over this fair land multitudes of people once lame, crippled or bedridden have been restored to health and happiness. Dr. Still paved the way for this new method of treating Infantile Paralysis. His reasonings were those of a sane man, a sage, a peer. His contention that the rule of the artery is supreme, and that the moment the circulation to any part of the body is interfered with that moment a diseased or disturbed condition arises or is in the making, is genuine philosophy and will stand for all time.
Not since the discovery of the circulation of the blood by Harvey has more significant logic been deduced and substantiated. His ideas regarding the invasion of germs and their destructive tendencies thru their toxins acting upon tissues devitalized from obstructed circulation, is no less true, and will go down thru history unchallenged. The cause of Infantile Paralysis will be taken up in the first chapter, and is based upon Dr. Still"s reasonings
