TREATMENT FOR BONE DISEASES
Napier Doctors’ Method
Placing the patient in a cabinet, and submitting him to a high temperature for some time, two Napier doctors have applied themselves to a scientific treatment for diseases of the bones and joints, such as rheumatism, arthritis and lumbago. The carefully controlled temperature in the body is said to do nature’s work, and it is claimed that for some types of rheumatism the treatment is almost 100 per cent, effective, aud that it is very efficient for other types. The treatment is an adaptation of the principle that fever is a defensive action of the body and is one of the natural forms of combating disease. The first time the treatment was used its effects were rapid and decisive. The doctors set up the apparatus for the treatment on the recommendations of medical men in the United States.
