THE CHALLENGE AND REWARDS OF SURVIVAL

By Kurt Saxon’ “Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang. Four shots ripped into my groin and | was off on the greatest adventure of my life.” This is the first line in Max Shulman’s hilarious book, “Sleep Till Noon.” The line had nothing to do with Max's novel, but he thouitght a good way to begi a book, n The Idea, however, does apply to the Survivalist. If you are alive ten years from now you will have gone through some wild scenes you can’t imagine now. The worst calamities you overcome will give you the greatest gratification of any other lite experience. ‘There are so many factors in surviving the collapse of a great civilization that anticipating the worst wil stimulate the heroism in every Survivalist. Regardless of the horror of facing such chaos, your efforts will take you to a plateau which will justify any hardship. ‘As a Survivalist, that is, one who anticipates and prepares for the worst man ‘and Nature can hand out, you will be automatically among the elite. Whether you are now a doctor or a dishwasher, you will be in your grandchildrens’ history books. You will have done what only the best of any race has done down through the ages. You will be preserving and passing on the life-sustaining knowledge of our culture and its past glories. In surviving yourself, you will be the means of survival for those born later. Civilizations and systems have been growing, thriving and then dying since before written history. A modern person reading history can accept the collapse of any number of past societies without any fear of the same fate. Alter all, those who died didn’t have his god, his government or his science. Of course, most individuals of past doomed civilizations felt the same about their own unfortunate and unentightened ancestors and less powerful neighbors. ‘You might imagine the Roman welfare recipient In the stands of the Coliseum. There he was, gloating and enjoying the agony of the inferior pagans being slaughtered in the arena. He was Invincible. He was a Roman. The victims in the arena were only Barbarians. They were losers and died because they didn't merit Roman citizenship. But Roman citizenship, its Legions, its overrated efficiency doomed that ‘same proletarian gloating in the stands to starvation or enslavement by his a short time later. “inferiors” just consider it arrogance, verging on paranoia, for a person to believe that he can escape the natural consequences of his own, and his fellows degeneration. Of course, degeneration of social systems and even individuals is usually so gradual that it goes unnoticed by its victims, For instance, ‘if you see a person often for ten years, you notice little real change. But at a reunion you see those old friends and relatives as falling apart. They see you as being over the hill, too. The same applies to a modern city you haven't seen in ten years. It Is dirtier, more smoggy, the people shabbier and more funny looking. Degeneration, so apparent to the long absent observer, is hardly noticed by the subjects who are so much less than they had been. Aside from people simply growing older or cities getting shabbier and more run down, with more losers filtering in through failure to cope, stable, industrious people also degenerate. A workman, once proud of his skill, no longer looks for better opportunities when his workmanship isn't appreciated. Instead, he works less, depending on his union to answer for his increasing sloth. He is less able than he was and he gradually becomes so dependent on ‘others to arbitrate for him that his own efforts on the job become increasingly less important. When his company goes bankrupt due to his union's emphasis

So intelligence and competence on behalf of a crumbling Establishment is a than a blessing. curse rathe r All it did was to insulate them from reality. ‘The Establishment's presently favored are no more, and often less, able to cope with adversity than losers used to the demeaning aspects of Weltareism. In point of fact, the educated specialists, the elite of the Establishment, are doomed more surely than are their own domestic servants. Another factor overlooked by non-Survivalists is that the more complex a civilization becomes, the less able its members are to apply their intelligence and training to survival situations. Also, the person who specializes in a narrow field loses hisability to see the whole picture, on the job and off. ‘An example might be a brillant researcher in a ceramics factory working on ‘some narrow specialty. In another department a relatively mindless drudge watches for cracks in an unending train of ceramic pieces passing before him on the inspection line. Each feels secure. Yet, each is equally a minor part of their profession, equally restricted in their application of thelr skill or labor to the factory. Consider a village potter of two hundred years ago. He had a kick-wheel, made his own plaster molds, dug his clay from the river bank and did every process, from purifying the clay to firing the week's output. ‘The two above; the researcher and the cup and saucer inspector are too narrow in their specialties to start over on thelr own. However, the village ‘Toy Sham Hagan Aueaies potter, having nothing but the basics but a full understanding of the process The cylinder A, Fig. 1, from start to finish can begin again.

Solar Power of the Past In CENTURY MAGAZINE, Dee. 1884, 1 found these excerpt from an article on astronomy. Harnessing the sun’ energyis an idea known by the ancients. ‘The ‘mirrors of Archimedes burned the Roman fleetat Syracuse about 20 B.C. For other examples see page 17, Vol. 1 of THE SURVIVOR. (Burning glass, Burning mir ror and Polyzonal lens.) Ta this artile you will see that the parabolic mirror was not only as sophist fated as modern mirrors, but a demon stator medel was actually harnessed to run a printing press. The writer, $1 Langley, admitted thet such sun engines ‘were not economical at that time, but he predicted atime inthe future would come ‘when coal would be exhausted and solar engines would be the thing. He gave England 300 years of coal although, at the present rate not last nearly that long. Also,of use, he wasit willapparently ignor ant of the fact that the projected abund ance of coal is misleading, since however much there actually is, the deeper one has to dig for it, the more expensive it becomes. Consequently, if England and the rest of the. world’ had 1000. years supply of coal, it will oon beso hard to get at and o expensive that 950 years supply might just as well be on the moon. ‘An interesting thing in the article is that Langly seemed to have no knowledge of petroleum, which, with the internal ‘combustion engine, replaced the majority of coal use. Had he known of petroleum and the projected amounts of it, he might have given the world a 600 years supply of available energy. He obviously knew more About the sun and solar power than he knew of economies, population growthand its consequent drain of fossil fuel. See also Burning-glass, Burning-mirror and Polyzonal Lens on

Solar heating from beer cans? ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A computer’ anaiyst at Kirtland Air Force Base here is recycling beer cans into a solar energy heating system. “Based on my experiments,” Nat Martz says, "I believe the beer can approach is the most ‘economical method available to me. It will make it possible to eventually heat my entire house.’

Martz, who works for, the Air Force Systems Command’s Weapons Laboratory at the air base, has spent for evenings and weekends the last two years designing, building and testing @ prototype system. It consists of a solar collector filled with 400 beer can halves and connected to an insulated bin of gravel, where the sun's heat is stored. He cut the aluminum cans with a band saw and installed the halves with the open ends facing the sun in a glasscovered wooden box 7 feet long and3 feet wide. There is an open space between the cans and the glass. Heated air is drawn from there with a fan and forced into a 2by 4-by 6-foot conerete-block bin filied with

‘ie nage two steps Po Suse =e marked out and shaped

gravel. Martz plans to install 10 or more similar solar collectors fon the south side of his sevenroom house's pitched Toof and build a gravel bin 10 times larger than tne present one against an east wall. “L believe I will reduce my heating bill 75 percent by

using the sun instead of natural gas,” says Martz, who has collected 3,000 ad-

ditional cans for the project, total cost of which he estimates will be about $2,500. “When the system’ is finished by next winter, air will be blown over the gravel to bring the stored heaf from the bin into the house,” he explains. “I plan to build a microprocessor computer to automatically control flow.

Because of FHA financing requirements and insurance worries, [let the contractor put in electric heat, but the cold winter we've been having this year has proved it certainly is not needed—our woodstove is more than sufficient. ‘The Fisher stove is attractive and does not smoke up the house, That makes my wife very happy.

FISHER, TIMBERLINE, JOTUL, GIBRALTER, SIERRA and THE EARTH STOVE are Just some ofthe better stoves. Choose one that has heavy steel welded (not bolted) construction with fie-brick lining.

They may seem like @ good bet because they look less expensive at firet, But don't forget to figure on the high-priced 8 or 10 inch fue a pipe adapter, and the sereen ‘whichandis usually extra, and the big 8" or 10” elbows which you may have to order special.

Tt puts out less heat per pound of wood consumed than any of the modern ‘woodstoves.

I'd love to Stephanie get the utility company off my back and Bet a good woodstove, but man, I don't even have a chimney. What ean I do?” Well, good chimneys are a must, especially with older-type woodstoves and heaters. What you can do depends on the type of house you have and how ridiculous your local building codes are. It paysto be careful with your chimney arrangements, however. With a modern woodstove properly installed there is almost no chance of a fire starting from inside, but the best stove in the world can be hazardous if connected to an improper chimney. Good chimney design is vital for ‘both safety and proper heat. I have connected brand new heaters to brand fnew chimneys that were so poorly constructed that they would not draw. ‘The heater wouldn't even burn hard wood blocks soaked in kerosene. Yet we took the same heater right next door and it would burn big green oak logs. The difference was all in the chimney. Do a little reading about chimneys before you build one. You might decide to use one of the prefabricated chimneys. ‘There are good ones available now that are really safe and fairly inexpensive. I've installed somein modular homes, and now

THE SURVIVOR Vol. 3 there is even a kit for installing them in double-wide trailers. Once I would have refused to recommend any type of wood heat in a mobile home. But with the new improved chimney kits and proper insulation they are safe and very economical, I still don’t recommend any type of “tin heater” in a mobile home, ot really any home. Although useful and fairly safe in the hands of an old-timer, 1 don't think novices should fool with them, ‘They ean be very dangerous. Besides, they don't last long. They burn out in one or two seasons, and since most of the heat goes up the chimney, they quickly burn ut connecting pipe, too. Also, they require much more shielding and take up too much room since they have to be at least 36” from any combustible wall or furniture. In contrast, my Fisher requires ‘much less space and shielding and is guranteed to never burn out for as long as Tlive So get a good modern woodstove.

THE SURVIVOR Vol. 3 but their expense and potential hazards have been previously discussed. For heat, searched for something which would run fon Kerosene. I finally settled on an ‘Aladdin "Blue Flame" heater. Operation is simple, with no need to pressurize the fuel tank. ‘Parts and maintenance are no problem, a large cotton wick being the only item which will eventually need replacement. Aladdin offers several models of kerosene-powered heaters with various heat ratings, but their most ‘popular one appears to be the Blue Flame which will heat up to 9000 cubic feet with 15870-9320 BTU’s per hour. Burning time is 16.25 hours on a tankful of 1.3 gallons. As ‘an added convenience, once ean even cook fon the top of the Blue Flame, ‘The reputation of the product is well attested toand appears to be well made. RADIO & TELEVISION: Needless to ‘say, in the event of a power emergency. the old Atwater Kent and the Big Eye will sive up the ghost. It's comforting to know hhow the outside world is faring and even enjoy the pleasure of musie during times of stress, My favorite battery powered transistor radios are the multiple-band receivers, which not only provide AM and FM reception, but also pull in Public Service broadcasts and even Short: Wave. ‘Some of the larger models run on “D" and “C" cells, which can be an expensive proposition if your receiver requires five or six batteries and you use the Alkaline type. One unit is the Panasonie RF-1005, ‘This receiver is powered by 4 “AA” batteries, their cost being low compared to other sizes. Not only does the RF-1005 give AM and FM listening, it also recei VHF Public Service transmissions so that cone can keep tabs on what the Police and Fire Department are doing. ‘The absolute luxury isa battery-powered television. I have a Panasonic TR-555, which is 100% solid-state with a Sinch diagonal sereen. It's powered by nine!) “D' "cells which provide up to five hours viewing time (Alkaline batteries will give up to 12 hours viewing). It's black and white, but you get both VHF and UHF. ‘The TRS55 can also be powered by 120-volt AC or ear/boat battery. Several manufacturers have come out with battery-powered television sets. In time of rational emergency, it’s doubtful that many television stations will be trans: aitting. COOKING: As with most apartment dwellers, I have a gas-type range. There are several models of eamping-type stoves which use gasoline or propane (LP gas) fuel, the most notable being the Coleman line. As outdoor cookers, they appear to be excellent, Since my lighting and heating arrangements are based on

THE SURVIVOR Vol. 3 kerosene, I decided to choose a compatible cooker. I finally came across a line of Kerosene-powered stoves. These are made by the Swedish firm of Optimus, which has provided portable stoves for several expeditions. They offer two models, the 111 and 000, both having a fuel capacity of 7/8 of a pint and a burning time of two hours. Both function with a pressurized fuel source and must be primed with a bit of alcohol. An odd thing about the Optimus products is that essential parts are finely crafted, while the nonessential ‘ones are a bit shoddy. Operation is easy and reliable. It boils water pretty quickly. It'll make soup, coffee, fry eggs, and, if needed, melt snow for water supplies. ‘Another cooker is one manufactured by Mountain Safety Research (MSR). These stoves are designed primarily with the ‘mountaineer in mind. They are compact, light and will run’ on various fuels, including gasoline, Kerosene, alcohol, rnaptha, benzine, ete. WATER: If you live in a high-ise building, its likely that you'l be without

954 water, since auxiliary pumping (electric ally operated) is needed to bring the supply to great heights. Fortunately, the hydrants will probably be working, so the only difficulty is carrying quantities of water up to the apartment. There are several folding water jugs available which hold up to five gallons each. Since they take little space when collapsed, it's a good idea to keep a few on hand. Just don't overdo it witha large size; water ean bedamn heavy! FUEL SHORTAGE: I prefer to store ‘small quantities of kerosene in Sigg bottles. These seamless aluminum con: tainers are madein Switzerland and have leakproof nylon caps. They are available in both pint and quart sizes. Asan accessory, Sigg offers a “filling cap,” ie. a cap with a tube-type nozzle to make emptying easier and more directional. I've improved on the Sigg eap by extending the pouring spout with a small length of plastic tubing. CAUTION! Keep away from the look-alike bottles from Taiwan. They are junk! Another important safety factor concern-

X-rays made with the film placed inside the mouth. If only two or four X-rays of this type are made,, chances are the dentist only checked for cavities. The added X-rays are to check the root and the bone surrounding the teeth. Many problems, such as cysts and cancers, to ‘mention a few, can be found. These problems would remain hidden without such an examination until they became ‘more serious. If possible, get « panoramic X-ray made also, This is relatively new.

In the following exercises which are ilustrated and hopefully long how-todo:it, instructions are not necessary be very careful in one regard: always make sure that for any muscle exercised the antagonistic muscle is worked. In other words, if you selecta bicep exercise make sure you counter it with a tricep (the musele on the back of the upper arm) exercise, If you don't you're lable to wind up with one musele so much stronger than the other that when any stress is put on the weaker muscle by the stronger the weaker one simply rips right up the middle. I had this happen once last year when Iwas doing squats—I got to where I was doing fifteen repetitions in the ‘deep-knee bend with 275 Ibs. on my back. I was doing nothing for the back of my legs—the thigh bicep. One day I decided to ‘run ull bore around the track and made it about 150 yards when it felt like the back ‘of my entire right leg simply unraveled.

THE SURVIVOR Vol. 3 simply doesn't get it for two reasons. First, it is so thick that the air slows it down. Second, the angle the wrists are held at in rope skipping fouls up any ability to keep the rope turning fast fenough. You should be trying to work your legs and lungs; any mechanical inconvenience simply hinders your ability to work out properly. In the case of skiprope harder is not better; faster is, Do not skiprope on concrete. It's like gently tapping your spine and the arches of your feet with a sledgehammer. You ‘wot notice the il effeets at first because they are cumulative. Try to use a wooden floor. A wooden floor will give, even ‘though imperceptably and save your back and feet from shock. In addition you'll be able to tell how smooth your movements are becoming. When you start off, the ‘whole house will probably shake. As you become more coordinated you will feel much lighter on your feet. Eventually you will not be able to hear your own feet hitting the floor. Then you have arrived, Alternate your feet—two stokes on one foot and then two strokes on the other—the way prizefighters do. You get ‘maximum speed that way. Forget all the litle girl stuf, ‘Work up to fifteen minutes before every workout. You probably won't be able to last more than a couple of minutes at first and—if you're like most people—it will take you at least a month to learn to do it properly. Keep at it. It’s worth it. When you get to where you can skip at full speed for ‘fifteen minutes you'll begin to experience a high that is simply unbelieveable, It comes from improved circulation and oxygen rushing ta. the brain, Tis important to be worked up before you start. Prizefighters are not taught technique until they are exhausted, for two good reasons—a man who is pooped will not tense up and get himself hurt and has a tendency to do exactly as he's told and consequently learns much quicker since failing, to follow directions is. the quickest way to wind up doing more work. We hope the same will apply to you when

you start your eable routine. ROWING EXERCISE: Illustrated in the last issue. Two sets, twenty repetitions. Alternate with chin-ups every six weeks to three months if you have a chinning bar. When you do chins, face the palms toward you (the old barayard chin) but make sure the little fingers are within 2 couple of inches of each other—you get maximum streteh that way

Nor only does working faster result in increased cardio-vascular efficiency but the muscles grow faster too. ‘One final word of caution: when I say FAST I mean don't sit around between exereises—but do. the exercises them selves slowly and carefully.

By Mike Brown ‘The pear shape is quite common. Especially where large herds of office workers gather to graze—Chicago, New York, Denver, and so on. Everybody recognizes it: narrow shoulders, wide hips, corpulent abdomen, two. large pouches of lard attached to the derriere’, and fat thighs tapering down to anemic talves. A lot of people have such a shape. But nobody will admit it. Simply losing weight is easy. Unfortunately, getting rid of a pear shape isa major project and horribly frustrating if not done properly. Especially for a {fellow trying to add musele in the process. Here's wh; First, itis almost impossible to gain size and strength and lose unwanted fat at the same time. Human physiology doesn't work that way. Compare it to a balloon. You fill the balloon with air (as you fill the body with food) and the balloon expands all over. The air (or food) simply goes ‘where it wants to; not where you want it to. Second, tremendous strength comes from the least obvious places—the upper legs, lower back, and the midsection. For a typical example of this, look at all the top weightliters—Paul Anderson, Aleexev, and so on. Santa Claus in a sweatsuit. Body beautifuls they are not.

970 your weightin wild cats. Back in 1950a researcher filled three tubs full of water and threw three groups of rats in them. Group 1 had been fed on the standard ‘American diet. Group 2 had been fed on the same diet with Beomplex added. Group 3 was fed on the samevitamidiet with 10% dessicated liver to the diet. The object was to see added how long rats could keep swimming. Group the1 averaged 15 minutes and drowned. Group, 2 averages 30 minutes and drowned. Group 3 was stil going strong at the end of four hours and the researcher fished them back out of the water and terminated the experiment, Finally, stay away from all fat meat (pork, greasy hamburger,etc.), scavengers (like ‘shellfish, they pick up industrial Wastes), refined sugar, and all artificial Junk (coke, candy, ete,), and go heavy on the lean meat, cheese, milk, potatoes (with skins), roots, leafy vegetables, and fresh fruits. With such a diet and what I've just told you becoming a monster should be easy. ‘Third, you have to make up your mind whether you want a really “trim” waist or if you would rather have the “washboard” ‘effect so sought after by the Mr. America types. Unless you inherited the bone structure to make it possible you can't have both. Muscle that has been built up simply has to take up space—meaning you are going to have to let your belt out a ‘couple of inches. Basically’ ll this boils down to is this: if try to use conventional methods to you reduce, you'll wind up with narrower shoulders, smaller arms, possibly an inch or two off the waistline, no appreciable amount of lard off the butt, cellulitis, and a tired, lethargic feeling. Here's how we avoid it, Your regimen will have to have two segments: diet and, of course, exercise. Certain exercises are super no-no's for any type of waist program, but for some reason the average yo-yo does them anyway. The first and probably the worst is the situp. They may be alright for prizefighters concerned with warding off blows under the heart but for reducing they don't work. Basically, sit-ups thicken only the muscles directly under the sternum and push the upper wall of the abdomen out. If you must do situps, do Roman Chair style (ilstrated). The next worst is the side-bend (ilustrated). They are alright for “firming up" an area but the muscles affected, the external obliques, have a way of growing like Steve MeQueen's old nemesis of the movies,

THE SURVIVOR Vol. 3 ‘THE BLOB. In other words, start doing side-bends with anything other than a very light weight and you're going to have flaps sticking out of your side like the ears of Dumbo the Elephant. ‘The exercises you should be doing are as follows: 1, Dumbell Swing (illustrated). Use a very light weight. This is simply warm-up to protect you from injury and allow you to work’ st your maximum capacity for the rest of the workout. Do ‘one set, about twenty repetitions. 2, Leg Raise (illustrated). Do four sets, ten repetitions each for a starter. Then the next time do fifteen reps per set. And 0 on until you have reached a hundred reps for each of the four sets, It is extremely important to break the work up into sets. Remember, each workout is not “contest” to see what you ean do. Roger Bannister proved this when he trained for the four minute mile—he would run full, bore for 440 yards (a quarter mile), jog the next 440, and then full bore for another 40, and ‘so on. Once you get to the four sets of a hundred reps each, get a barbell plate with a piece of rope and start over lillustrated). 3. Our old favorite, the hyperextension illustrated). Two sets of fifteen and then start adding weight. 4 . Ifyou can get ahold of pair of “iron bois" do knee-ups, two sets of twenty. Practically every solid iron barbell set made in the U.S. comes with a set and you should be able to slick the neighbor's kid ut of his for a couple of bucks. This particular exercise gets the muscles deep in the abdominal cavity like nothing else can, When two sets of twenty starts getting easy run back over to the neighbor's kid and see if you can't slick him out of the dumbells to stick through the holes in the iron bootsto increase the weight. When doing the knee-ups be sure to aim the left knee at the right shoulder aand right knee at left knee on the way up {ilustrated). Otherwise you not only will not work the muscles deep in the abdomen but will wind up simply with exhausted igh and groin museles.. ‘5. Hanging leg raises. Grab an overhead bar (chinning bar) and raise the legs—only try to twist the feet so that the left side of the left foot (keep feet together) is parallel to the ground on one rep and then the right foot on the next rep, alternate illustrated). This works the side museles (external obliques) without enlarging them. Work up to two sets of twenty, For the rest of your program I would suggest two sets each of squats, upright rows, military press, and eurls. Don't strain, all you're trying to do is maintain previous gains. About eight reps each.

He figured ‘out that the body had ten “zones”, five ‘on the left and five on the right—each zone or “line” ran through a correspond: 18 finger or toe. For example, zone one ran (or runs) completely through the body and loops through the thumb and big toe—any problem arising from between the eyes down to the groin (the middle of the body) was helped by the massage of zone one (the thumb). A gross over-simplification but necessary to grasp the concept. Dr. Fitzgerald wrote a rather lengthy, detailed, and involved book on his findings over half a century ago which is still printed by Health Research, 70 Lafayette St.,” Mokelumne Hill, Cali fornia. Not too many of the members of ‘the medical profession buy it One of the Doe's theories was that since Western Man was such an inveterate wearer of kkept in tender condi therapy. The same nerves go to the hands but since the hands receive so much more use hand massage simply is not as effective. ‘What the Doe originally started with was not zone therapy but pressure ‘analgesia—or anesthesia by pressure. Eliminating pain and curing conditions are not the same thing. For eliminating pain a little more equipment than just the thumb is needed. Such as rubber bands, clothespins, and aluminum combs. The rubber bands and clothespins eannot be left on too long or weakness and irritability results. Clothespins put on the end of the fingers will (sometimes) anesthetize the mouth (as for dental work). Be careful playing around with rubber bands, get them on too tight and leave them on too long and circulation stops. For those of you intending to make a living as mid-wives in the New Age when Blue Cross and the AMA. has ceased to exist an account is given by Dr. Fitsgerald of how to do it: "The woman I delivered was a primipara (one who had never had a child before, and who, therefore, because of the rigidity of the bones and tissues, has a more difficult labor), small in stature,

THE SURVIVOR Vol. 3 When contractions began, and the mother was beginning to be very nervous and complained of pain, at which time I generally administer chloroform, I began pressing on the soles of the feet with the edge of a big file, as I could find nothing else, I pressed on the top of the foot with the thumbs of both hands at the metatarsalphalangeal joint (where the toes join the foot). I exerted this pressure over each foot for about three minutes at a time. The mother told me that the pressure on the feet gave her no pain whatsoever. s she did not have any uterine Iwas afraid there was no advancement. ‘To my great surprise, when I examined her about ten or fifteen minutes later, T found the head within two inches of the outlet. I then waited about fifteen ‘minutes, and on examination found the

In this ‘way I exerted pressure on the sole of the foot with the file, and pressure on the dorsum of the foot with my thumbs, doing each foot separately. The last pressure lasted about one and a half ‘minutes on each foot. Within five or ten ‘minutes the head was appearing, and I held it back to preserve the perineum (the tissue joining the vagina and the rectum). Tt_made steady progress, the hhead and shoulders coming out in a normal manner. Within three minutes the child—which weighed in at 9% ounds—was born, erying lusty. The other told me she did not experience any pain whatever, and could not believe the child was born, She laughed and

THE SURVIVOR Vol. 3 said, this is not so bad. Another point that is very remarkable is that after the child was born the woman did not experience the fatigue that is generally felt, and the child was ‘more active than usual. I account for this fon the principle that. pain inhibits progress of the birth, and tires the child. But as the pain was inhibited, the progress was more steady, and’ thus fatigue to both mother and child was avoided.” ‘There is much more therapy than even touched on here.to zone Renew your subscription for more zone therapy, ‘radiology, water cures, fasting, and other goodies the AMA. and the Rockefellers (chemical companies) have done their best to consign to the trashbin of history.
