Exophthalmic Goitre.—Like other forms of goitre this may be reduced, and with its reduction all other symptoms disappear. Many cures are on record.
Friedrich’s Ataxia.—In hereditary cerebellar ataxia (which is probably congenital, rather) cures are limited to 40 per cent or less. History of instrumental delivery, with marked upper cervical subluxation, argue for the natal origin of the disease and increase the probability of cure.
Gallstones.—Prognosis excellent. The calculi absorb under adjustment by a reversal of the chemical process by which their deposit was induced. When small they may pass through the ducts and escape, with slight pain. Adjustment during the painful passage of a gallstone may act upon the duct so as to lessen greatly the pain and hasten the passage.
Gastralgia.—Like other gastric neuroses, is easily curable but may sometimes require correction of a neurotic diathesis, which means time.
Gastric Ulcer.—Usually recovers, but occasionally leaves a fibrous cicatrix which cannot be affected by adjustment and which, if located at the pylorus, may produce stenosis, with consequent incurable dilatation of the stomach. Operation is required for such a condition, but the diagnosis is difficult, and it may be best to test with adjustments for some time.
Gastritis.—Prognosis good. To prevent recurrence adjustments should continue after symptoms subside.
Goitre.—Prognosis good. One large goitre under the author’s observation was reduced in one week so that the neck measurement decreased one inch. Most cases require several months for complete reduction.
Gonorrhoeal Rheumatism.—More stubborn than other forms of rheumatism and sometimes defies adjustment. No percentages are available. It is probable that nothing but a general cleansing of the system will prevent recurrence.
Hay Fever.—Perhaps one-half of all adjusted cases recover fully, some at once and some after several months. By recovery is meant failure of the annual appearance of the attack with no symptoms at any time. No case can be pronounced cured in less than a year. The remaining half are modified little or not at all.
