The Making of a "Chronic"
the organism are in this manner slowly but surely
undermined and weakened. Decay and destruction
gradually proceed into the advanced stages of
tuberculosis, malignant tumors, paralysis agitans,
locomotor ataxia, paresis, pernicious anemia,
chronic rheumatism, etc.
In order to illustrate the foregoing theoretical expositions of the development of
acute and chronic diseases by a living example from every day experience, I shall
describe a typical case of consumption, tracing it from its incipiency in an hereditary
scrofulous constitution through its various progressive stages to the fully developed
tuberculosis, and thence to health under the regenerating influences of natural living
and natural methods of cure.
"John" was born with eyes of dark violet blue, indicating that "the sins of the
fathers," that is, unnatural modes of living and of healing for many generations past,
had endowed him with the undesirable inheritance of a psoric or scrofulous
constitution.

Nature, ever seeking to establish the perfect normal type, almost at birth began to
eliminate the morbid inheritance through the skin and the mucous membrane of the
digestive and respiratory tracts. (Fig. 10.)
But these well meant cleansing and healing efforts of Nature were misunderstood by
John's parents and the family doctor. When the scalp took up the work of scrofulous
elimination in the form of milk scurf and eczematous eruptions, it was smothered in
oils, unsalted butter, cream, or mercurial ointments, in order to suppress as quickly as
possible the "dreadful looking scabs".
If mother, after this "successful cure", had looked closely into baby's eyes she would
have noticed in the outer rim of the iris the appearance of a dark, broad ring--the
"scurf rim"--and also a slight darkening of the iris color in general. (Fig. 11, page 96)
