Thursday Health Talk, 6
By Mary Lou'.Miller,
D. C. Ph. C.
Quinsy is a kind of glori
fied sore throat. In quin
sy the entire tonsil is
transformed into an ab
Biess. The presence of
tiie disease is preceded by
a general bodily uneasi
ness, headache, backache
and aching of the arms
and legs. The pressure
of the swollen and ab
scessed tonsil ( usually but
one is affected) may cause
deafness and earache.
Appetite is gone. Even
liquids cause intense
swallowing pain. The vic
tim goes on a forced fast.
The voice is affected. In
from six to eight days the
abscess breaks and the
and the disease subsides.
The chiropractor finds de
finite proof that the dis
ease is caused by pressure
on nerves at the spinal
exit by a nerve tracing.
The nerves from the
spine to the region in
front ot and btlow the
angle of the jaw are in
variably sose and tender
to the touch. When chi
ropractic spinal adjusting
is started at the first in
ception of the disease the
trouble never reaches the
abcess stage. The chiro
practor in quinsy cases
usually udjusts kidney
place to help bring up to
par the bodily power for
throwing off the poisons.
