BASSETT KEYES, M. D. PREFACE. In presenting this monograph on The Renewal of Life, and the Cure of Disease with Subcutaneous Injec- tions of Oil, I do so in the belief that I am offering the greatest therapeutic advance that has ever been made. By the aid of this treatment life may be prolonged, disease prevented and many chronic and otherwise incurable diseases are absolutely curable. I have pre- sented tubercular cases only. Since the report was written many others have been cured and equally good results have been obtained. In the record of cases you will see that the great majority of those who have been cured were at the time treatment was commenced well advanced with pulmonary tuberculosis. Some were such cases as are not accepted for treatment by most Sanitariums, yet, the percentage of cures in these ad- vanced cases has been large. The report is of consecu- tive cases and not selected ones. You must, therefore, agree with me that subcutaneous injections of oil form an important part of the therapeutics of tuberculosis and an actual specific to the disease. Subcutaneous injections of oil are also of vital importance in the treatment of all other diseases. Most of the text I have presented in various articles in a number of Medical Journals. It is reproduced in answer to the requests of a large volume of corre- spondence and is in no way complete. I offer the work only as a suggestion as to the greatness of subcuta- neous injections of oil in the treatment of all manner of diesases. T. B. K. SYNOPSIS OF CONTENTS. CHAPTER I.

Pre-tubercular state or condition is caused primarily from the non-eating and non-digestion of fatty foods. The North American Indians, South Sea Islanders, and Negroes, who have tuberculosis. The Esqui- maux are the only people said to be free from tuberculosis. The habit of not eating fats leads to their non-digestion, mal-nu- trition and tuberculosis. CHAPTEE VII.

Before the tubercle bacilli can grow it must first find a suitable soil. Weakened non-resistance of tissue comes from mal-nutrition. Nutrition built up with oil injections. The germ dies naturally through the decline of those conditions upon which it feeds. Foods used in the supply of heat. Characteristics of living matter. Nutrition the principal in the maintenance of life. CHAPTER YIII. PHYSIOLOGICAL THERAPEUTICS INDICATE THE USE OF OILS INJECTED SUBCUTANEOUSLY AS A CURE FOR CONSUMP- TION. Fats the most powerful of any substance used in the production of potential energy and heat. Digestion and as- similation of fats and oils from the intestine. The similarity between the digestion of oil from the intestine to that sub- cutaneously injected. Theories of immunity. Subcutaneous in- jections of oil produce immediate growth of blood cells.

I have asked this question of every healthy real old person with whom I have come in contact for the past ten years, and every one of them has answered that he has always eaten a good supply of fats in some form or other. From the observation of a large number of individuals I am satisfied that stamina, vigor and vitality come more from the eating and assimilation of fat foods than of all other things. If we inherit these habits from our ancestors I believe it to be true that we are blessed with a better constitution and a greater abundance of life and health ^Presented by the author through the Medico-Legal Society of Now York, and in the Medico-Legal Journal. 10 KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. than we would be if from a line of poorly nourished forebears. The amount of fat which the blood contains varies according to the amount eaten and assimilated. The infant inherits the richness of its fat. Some infants it is needless to say are better nourished than others. The richness of its fat would not alone affect the adip©se or fat tissue, but would affect every tissue of the body, from the marrow of the bones to the entire nervous system. In treating people the remark is often made that it is not natural for them to become fat, be- cause their parents were thin; or from another party that they should gain in weight easily, because their parents were fleshy. Since all physiological actions, such as digestion and assimilation, are the result of inherited habits, it is probable that the habit of eating, and the assimilation of certain foods become somewhat fixed. Thus the Eskimos do not eat any vegetables whatever, and can- not seem to tolerate them. They can, however, eat sev- eral pounds of fat at one meal, and it is well to remark here that they are free from tuberculosis, and also in- testinal catarrhs and appendicitis. It is also said that their teeth never decay even among the aged. Indi- viduals among all races who eat large quantities of fat are not likely to be affected with any disease. That fat or oil exerts a great influence upon living matter, life and energy, conclusions may be reached from the facts : that it forms a part of most cells and tissues of the body and that the adipose tissue is the first to be drawn upon to supply nourishment and fuel in case of sickness or lack of food. In protoplasm even of the lowest type it is common to find under the micro- scope granules containing fatty matter. Fatty matter but not in the form of adipose tissue makes up a large KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. 11 portion of the brain and is found thus in many vital fluids, in the liver and blood. Hair looks dead when there is not sufficient oil from the scalp to nourish it. Children are the creatures of imitation. If parents like fat foods it is quite likely that their children will, but if they do not they should be taught their value. The only way that we can assimilate fat foods well is to constantly eat them and form the habit of assimilat- ing them. When fat foods cannot be assimilated well, the subcutaneous injections of oil will, it seems, start up the machinery of the body to their use, and by train- ing the person to a fat diet, we soon have him again running under full heat, force, vigor, vim and vitality. He is converted from a machine of low to high power. The Attainment of Success. The attainment of success often depends upon our physical constitution. Some ambitions are higher than their physical conditions will allow them to reach. Thus, this morning a patient came to me to be treated with subcutaneous injections of oil for a weakened con- stitution. She said that her ambition was to come before the public as a singer. She had a beautiful voice, but lacked the physical constitution. This con- stitution we are going to give her by training the sys- tem to take up fats and oils and by training the intes- tine to assimilate fats. Her lungs will develop and in proportion to the amount of fat assimilated will come strength and vitality. If we could assimilate all the fat which we could eat and then by training or direct- ing the energy and force that could thus be generated into work, there would be much greater things accom- plished. When this becomes better understood and a few generations have followed these precepts, then 12 KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. there will be a race of men like gods. Then men will be better able to use the force, heat and vitality which comes from fat foods. AVhile we should exercise and exert ourselves only in proportion to the amount of carbon foods in our diet, we should on the other hand exert ourselves suffi- ciently tD use up this carbon and not allow it to be stored up in the body in too great a quantity. It is said that every individual has his own co-efficient of heat production, depending upon the amount of heat pro- ducing foods eaten and assimilated and the activity of tissue changes. Life Force. Life is the force and power of the body and is de- pendent upon nutrition and air. The body of itself from infancy to a certain age of the individual is a storehouse of nutrition from which the blood may draw, and when this blood circulates to the lungs it gives up carbon and takes in an amount of oxygen which corresponds to the amount of carbon excreted. It is this chemical exchange which produces the life, heat and force of the body. The oxygen is derived from the air; the question therefore remains: From whence do we derive the carbon? This can come from only one source. It must be derived from that which is taken into the body for nourishment. The new bom babe has a certain amount of carbon stored in its body, in the fat tissues, in the fat deposited between mus- cular tissue, and in the marrow of its bones. Sugar is a carbo-hydrate and fat is a hydro-carbon, but fat sup- plies about two and one-half times more force and heat than any other substance used as food. It is therefore the most important in the production of life. Oxygen, KEYES: THE REXEAVAL OF LIFE. 13 carbon and hydrogen compose 94.6 per cent, of the human body, in the proportion of oxygen 72.0, carbon 13.5, and hydrogen 9.01. Milk, the natural food of the young (but not suffi- cient for the aged), has been described as a thin syrup which holds in suspension small globules of oil. The infant, therefore, sustains its life from the nutrition derived from milk, which, being absorbed and taken into the blood, gives force and heat and life by the chemical exchange of carbon, its sugar and fats, for oxygen, which goes on in the lungs through our breathing. Life force varies in different individuals and differ- ent animals, depending largely upon the amount of heat generated from foods and from the activity of metabolism. Because the assimilation becomes defi- cient with age, old people are always cold and produce less heat. They do not absorb and consequently do not breathe out sufficient carbon foods. For this reason subcutaneous injections of oil will supply the fuel which is lacking and which without proper training they cannot assimilate from their diet. We Should Not Become Too Fat. Lest some one think that I am advocating a race of fat people, it will be well to explain here that we should not become too fat. Only a plump amount of fatness is to be recommended. Rather than too much fat we should breathe deep enough and generate and use a high power of nerve energy. Increased activity pro- motes rapid change from oxidation, but the two proc- esses of waste and repair should be equal, for if the waste exceed the repair we decay. All fat people are U KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. not healthy mainly for the reason that fat varies greatly as to its amount of richness in oil. Some fat is watery and then it is a drone which requires to be fed. When fat tissue is once formed it should be kept well fed with oil so that it may be useful and a store- house from which fuel may be drawn. Fat people who withdraw fats from their diet are subject to watery fat, gall stones, liver diseases, weak heart, intestinal catarrhs, diseases of the kidneys and many other dis- eases. There are perhaps as many fat people who suffer from being poorly nourished as thin people. These fleshy people with watery fat often receive great benefit from the subcutaneous injections of oil in that it nourishes the connective tissues and changes their fat from a drone to a storehouse of energy. Mal-Nutrition Due to Faulty Nourishment the Cause of Lessened Vitality. Mal-nutrition due to faulty nourishment is the prevalent condition of the human race. It is the fore- runner and often the cause of lessened vitality, of incapacity for work or enjoyment, of chronic diseases, and of more suffering than all other causes combined. The rapid wasting produced by high fever in acute diseases indicates rapid metabolism and the need of the body for fuel to overcome disease. It is Nature's remedy and plan of the body to combat disease. Many people die because the tissues are so poorly nourished that they are insufficient in fuel. It is needless to say that living tissues cannot live without food. Old Age and the Prevention of Senility. Wheat will not grow in worn-out soil. The most prominent characteristic of old age and senility is lack KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. 15 of cell growth. Tlie repair of cells and tissues is not equal to the waste, which is shown first by a shrinking away of the fat tissues of the body, leaving the skin dry and wrinkled. Then the fat or marrow of the bones gives way to cancellous or bony tissues. The bones and all tissues of the body shrink in size, and become less elastic, and as the oily parts of the fats and the fats from all tissues of the body disappear the arteries become hardened. As senility approaches or advances and as the condition of faulty assimilation supervenes all organs of the body become defective. As all living tissues are characterized by constant change, and when repair does not equal the waste to decay, then to keep up growth and prevent decay we must try to keep up nourishment and assimilation. The growth of all living tissues has a certain limit, and when old age comes we cease to keep up good assimila- tion. Oil subcutaneously injected is the most readily absorbable tissue builder and will do more to increase the activity and assimilative powers of the blood cells and individual organs of the body than any other means. Longevity and Perpetual Youth. If constant repair of tissues with assimilation and displacement of nutrition could be maintained as per- fect as in youth, then youth would be perpetual. There- fore, a perfect youthful body if free from disease and deformity, should maintain that perfection by the perfect regulation of nutrition, by which I mean : that each individual cell of the body should be maintained in a constant and proper equilibrium of nutrition. Oil, when injected subcutaneously, is a substance upon which the white corpuscles feed, an affinity, and 16 KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. since the fat tissues of the body are those which shrink away first in old age, it will be seen that by injecting oil thus we supjDly the fat tissue oil, the marrow of the bones with oil, and by this oil prevent the hardening and bony calcareous formations. Through this feeding or nutrition we increase the activity and individual cell activity of every organ and tissue of the body. Most cases of early senility with a shrinking in nutri- tive conditions, together with the common diseases of old age, such as chronic bronchitis, may be relieved by the injections of oil subcutaneously. It is a physiological fact that the amount of carbon- dioxid exhaled by the lungs of males increases regu- larly from the eighth to the thirtieth year of age, and from then on until about fifty this amount remains at about the same preservation, or stationary. After the fiftieth year and as age advances the amount of car- bon-dioxid gradually declines until it scarcely equals the amount exhaled at the tenth year of age. Women do not exhale as much carbon-dioxide as men of equal ages. The amount increases gradually from the eighth year to that of puberty, after which it remains in the same state of preservation until "the change of life'* takes place, when the carbon-dioxid exhaled declines at the same rate as in old men. There is a relation closely connected as we have here tried to point out, all along, between the amount of carbon-dioxid exhaled (the used power of the body) and the amount of stamina, vigor and vitality which the body contains. If we could keep this power at the same preservation, after the age of forty as it has been before, then enfeeblement and old age would not leave its marks. But it is evident that the carbon forming foods are not assimilated so well after the age Case IV. Mr. Y. S., who gained 14 pounds in weight and recov- ered entirely from puhnonary tuberculosis. Treatment: Subcutane- ous injections of oil. He has remained well for a period of over four years and has been actively engaged.. His life was rencATed. Case V. Mr. F. B., who gained 12 pounds in weight and recovered entirely from pulmonary tuberculosis. Treatment: Subcutaneous injections of oil. He has since married, has been actively engaged, and has remained Avell for a period of over four years. His life was renewed. KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. 17 of forty, because the carbon-dioxid can come from only one source — the food assimilated — and that which has been stored in the body. The stored fuel of the body, the fat from every tissue yields to age as it advances and we become wrinkled and shriveled and shorter and smaller every way. If the body had been able to assimilate the fats from the diet it would not have been necessary, as Metchnikoff puts it, for the leucocytes to feed upon and devour the fatty tissues of the body. As it is evi- dent from the facts that carbon is not excreted by the lungs and exchanged for oxygen, so well after the age of forty, but that it gradually declines, it proves from this fact alone that fats (hydro-carbons) are not so well assimilated at this age, and this explains the rea- son for lessened carbon excretion, the shrinking away of the fat and fuel tissues of the body and the advances of senility. The fats not being assimilated from the intestine the subcutaneous injections of oil should be used to overcome the advances of age, and by this means necessarily increase the amount of carbon- dioxid exhaled in the production of increased heat and life and vigor and health. The habit of assimilat- ing fats from the intestine should be re-established. But the individual organs of the body, the lungs, heart, kidneys and liver, etc., like individual cells tire and lack in life or vitality by not being properly nour- ished, and thus become affected by old age and disease. As it is the fat foods which supply more heat and force and vitality than any other foods, and as they are not well absorbed in the aged, a course of treatment with oils injected subcutaneously offers increased health and vigor. The patients I have treated for lack of vitality have experienced pleasing results in the im- 18 KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. provement of nutrition, force and vitality; in fact it would seem that there is produced by this method a renewal of life. The Brain and Nervous System. The brain and nervous system contain a large per- centage of oily matter. The various manifestations of nerve force are brought about by the transformation of heat from oxidizable foods or fuel. The grey matter of the brain is an oily substance. The medulary or myelin sheath or white substance of Schwan is a fatty substance. It is said to be made up of a fine reticulum in the meshes of which is embedded bright fatty material. The influence of fat and oil nutrition upon the functions of the brain and nervous system, and thus upon the entire body, must be very great, for upon the nervous system greatly depend the other tissues of the body as to their metabolism, which is shown by the fact that the heat of a limb falls after division of its nerve, and also in a limb which is paralyzed. The Heart. The heart is an organ which must work constantly to keep up the flow of nutrition so essential to the life of the body. As it constantly works it must require vitality and force in abundance. Its muscular fibers must possess force and power never to complain of being tired, and great vital elasticity to constantly con- tract and expand, and to increase its work in times of exertion. No article that man could make could stand this contraction and expansion and stretching of fibers KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. 19 without very soon being worn out ; it is, therefore, rea- sonable to expect very rapid tissue metamorphosis in an organ working hke the heart. In many acute diseases, especially with fever, it is often the heart which fails because the stored fuel of the body has been consumed and there remains noth- ing for the heart to feed upon and keep up its nutrition and vitality. So long as the heart is above a certain standard, most all diseases are considered of a favor- able prognosis. Therefore, anything which can sup- ply the material to produce force, heat and vitality to the heart is a therapeutic agent of the greatest effi- ciency, and as all vital processes have their origin in the energy liberated by the chemical decompositions going on in the organism, it follows, that oils injected subcutaneously and taken up by the blood, constitute a means of increasing metabolic activity of any organ and all parts of the body. In the treatment of many cases of tuberculosis, I have frequently encountered cases in which there ex- isted some form of chronic carditis. It is in these conditions of chronic heart inflammation which may exist in some part of the organ that I particularly rec- ommend the subcutaneous injections of oil. Not to the exclusion of other remedies, for I have found the greatest good to come by using other alteratives and the oil. Besides the nutritive and fuel value of the oil in producing vitality, force and heat, I speak of it as an alterative, for it is the greatest of all alteratives and in these cases I have found it to be almost of vital importance. The Lungs. The lungs are the smokestack of the human engine and like the heart they must keep up with their con- 20 KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. stant work. The exchange of carbon-dioxid for oxygen must go on, for this is the principle of life. The lungs being coniposed of a fine tissue which contracts and expands continually and being exposed to constant wear, they are not easily healed when once they be- come diseased, unless we are in a high state of nutri- tion. The lungs use up more heat and vitality than any other organ of the body. The lungs both give and take. They take away carbon and supply oxygen and in this chemical exchange the principle of life is pro- duced. Lung exercise should be in proportion to the amount of carbon foods eaten. It should be just suffi- cient to oxidize the carbon foods eaten, for if there is not a good supply of carbon (carbo-hydrates and fats, or hydro-carbons) in the diet and a good store of fat in the tissues, if too much lung exercise is necessary to carry on the force of great exertion, then the fat being exhausted, other more vital tissues will be drawn upon. As a consequence of this the body would become exhausted. When one is in the habit of eating and assimilating a good amount of fat the exhausted body soon recup- erates. We should use our lungs just sufficiently to oxidize the carbon foods and not allow them to be stored up in too great a quantity as fat. The lungs will develop according to the amount of fats eaten, for this is excreted principally by the lungs. As the lungs use up a large amount of heat in cariying away a fine watery vapor, fats and heat producing foods are essential to their health. The results which I have accomplished in the treatment of tuberculosis of the lungs, prove absolutely that the subcutaneous injec- tions of oil meet every indication in the treatment of KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. 21 pulmonary tuberculosis or any chronic inflammation of the lungs. The Kidneys. The kidneys are excretory organs and are essential to life, for without excretion man would poison him- self; they, therefore, play a very important role in the maintenance of life. As we have compared the lungs to the smokestack, we may say that the kidneys are the ash grate of the human engine. If the ashes are not kept raked away, the body soon clogs and there is lessened draft for the warming fire. Heat would soon diminish and life be- come extinct. The co-relation of the lungs and kid- neys in excretion is well known and when either one does not do their work well the other tries to aid it. One of the first places and where we usually find fat tissue is around the kidneys. In many individuals the fat tissue may have become atrophied, leaving only its connective tissue. As fat tissue is a great store house of reserve tissue material, which fluctuates greatly, according to the needs of the body, and in covering organs protects them, it is safe to say that a certain amount of healthy rich fat about the kidneys would be a prophylactic against their becoming dis- eased, and in case that the kidneys should become irritated or inflamed, it is reasonable to believe that this fat would greatly aid in quickly re-building their tissue and overcoming their disease. On the other hand atrophied fat or tissue of poor quality, that is, watery fat, would be a drone which would sap the kid- neys of their vitality. Rich oily fat is the healthy fat, rich in protection, rich as a treasure storehouse. My personal observation in the treatment of a 22 KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. variety of the forms of Bright 's disease or inflamma- tion of the kidneys is that the oils injected subcuta- neously have acted as an alterative and tissue recon- structive, so as to greatly aid and to produce some very remarkable recoveries from chronic Bright 's disease. The Liver and Other Vital Glands and Organs. Fats and oils are useful to preserve the health of all the organs and tissues of the body. Oils injected subcutaneously are particularly useful in the treat- ment of diseases of the glandular system, and may be used for the treatment of gall-stones, catarrh of the bile ducts, and for atrophied conditions, and other diseases of the liver and for some conditions that may exist in other glandular organs. To prevent condi- tions of senility and diseases of mal-nutrition it is important to keep the liver healthy, for it has much to do with the process of nutrition, growth and repair. The Cachexia of Cancer. Because of the great nutritive influence which sub- cutaneous injections of oil have upon the system, I be- lieve that with the injections of oil after operation for cancer we will be enabled to prevent its return. The study of cancer for years has only gone to show that it is a nutritive change. "A return to fetal tissue," is an often repeated saying. Most all therapeutic measures of late years have been directed to increasing cell activity of the body and there is no greater means of doing this than by subcutaneous injections of oil. One of the first cases which I treated when I com- menced the practice of medicine was that of an epithe- KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. 23 lioma of the uterus, in a woman of about forty-five years of age. As I had more time than patients, in my endeavor to cure the woman and meet the confidence which she put in me, I read all the literature relative to the subject of cancer then in the Newberry library, there being some several hundred articles published in various medical journals and textbooks up to that time. We tried every method advocated thoroughly. At the time I commenced to treat her the woman was considered too far advanced to operate upon. She lived about a year and finally died from exhaustion. There had been no hemorrhage and the disease had not extended to any vital organ. But she was worn out, thin and emaciated to skin and bones. Had this woman been operated upon and built up with subcuta- neous injections of oil, built up to the highest point of energy and vitality, I think that there would have been a renewal of life, which would have prevented the return of the disease. It is well known that cancer usually affects those organs which go out of use, as the uterus and the breast of women after menopause, when the body is declining and other nutritive changes are taking place. In the Annals of Gynaecology and Paediatry, June, 1901, Vol. 14, No. 9, Dr. A. J. Collins Warren, Pro- fessor of Surgery in the Harvard University, says regarding cancer: ''In rare cases the regenerative processes, for a time at least, seem to exceed the proc- esses of growth in cancer, and under these circum- stances we observe a tendency to a spontaneous cure. Such a case occurred recently at the Middlesex Hos- pital, London. A patient over eighty years of age was admitted to the cancer ward, with cancer of the breast, recurring after operation. At the end of a year, dur- 24 KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. ing which time there had been no treatment of any kind, the nodules had disappeared, and she was appar- ently well. This tendency should be taken into account in estimating the value of any drug. ' ' Now, if there are powers of the body which are sufficient in rare cases to overcome cancer, then these powers should be strengthened by building up nutri- tion to its highest point, and this can only be done with the subcutaneous injections of oil. Particularly is this true when the cachexia or mal-nutrition are prominent, as they generally are, and when they are not it is these exceptional cases which remain well after early operation. It would, therefore, seem that after surgical operation for the removal of cancer, subcu- taneous feeding with oils should be useful to overcome the disease by building up nutrition, so that cancer would not return. The following, taken from the Jan- uary, 1909, publication of "The Doctor," is interest- ing regarding the curability of cancer: "Bainb ridge, in the New York Medical Journal, points out that the word curable, as applied to cancer, is, as one may readily appreciate, a relative term. Strictly speaking, we do not cure the cancer — we re- move it; and in the vast majority of cases, when it is impossible to remove the cancer, it is impossible to effect a cure of the patient. This is in line with the statement previously made that to-day surgical pro- cedure is the only dependable means of eradication of malignancy. Then, too, there are those who hold that it is impossible to fix a time limit upon recurrence, and who deny that if the disease does not return in three or five years, or any number of years, the case may be jjronounced cured. On the other hand, statistics am- ply justify the so-called three-year limit. However KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. 25 this may be, we know that in a very limited number of cases cancer disappears of itself, with no further manifestations of the disease. This is common in mouse cancer, 30 per cent, of those cases which have been recorded being said to heal spontaneously. In man it would be more than foolish to fold our hands and wait patiently for an epithelioma or a sarcoma to dis- appear spontaneously because so-called cancer in mice is said to do so in a large proportion of cases. We must remember that it is a serious question whether cancer in the mouse is at all analogous to cancer in man, and we do know that spontaneous cure in the human subject is extremely rare.- — The Medical Standard." In mice which have cancer, experimentally pro- duced, it is apparent that the same conditions of body as to nutrition and age are not present, or the same as they would be if they had come by their cancers in a natural way, or as a natural consequence of some per- verted condition of nutrition. These mice evidently were healthy and able to assimilate and nourish their system, so as to overcome the disease, and in such a healthy condition it is likely that man would be equally immune from cancer. It is this healthy condition of the body that I wish to produce, with subcutaneous in- jections of oil, to prevent the return of cancer after operation, and, perhaps, in some cases to cure cancer. Thus I have treated and cured with subcutaneous in- jections of oil and without operation two cases of chronic ulcer of the face and one of the throat, which had existed for more than a year and which were diagnosed and considered cancers. 26 KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. Immunity From Tuberculosis. Tuberculosis is a disease of mal-nutrition. This mal-nutrition comes from not eating fats and oils, or if they are eaten they are only partially assimilated. People who eat and assimilate fats and oils in abund- ance do not have tuberculosis. To possess stamina, vigor and vitality in its great- est abundance we must possess a body which is capable of producing or generating large quantities of ' ' steam" heat. Wlien an animal dies of starvation it dies from lack of heat, the fuel of the body having been used up, the body is no longer capable of maintaining its proper temperature, to say nothing of that which is used up in energy and movement. Animals that are cold and dying from starvation are revived more from the ap- plication of heat than from the administration of food. It is found that when an animal is deprived of food there is always that ultimate loss of heat, and when the body has lost about two-fifths of its weight the loss of heat is very rapid and death ensues. People who suffer from thinness, mal-nutrition, who are lacking in stamina, vigor and vitality, suffer from loss of heat production, in a way similar to ani- mals which have been experimented upon and the effects of starvation watched. Thus in starving ani- mals, physiologists tell us that at the beginning the variations in the daily temperature become more marked, the daily fluctuations amounting to 5° or 6° F., instead of 1° or 2° F. as in health. It is this variation in temperature which is so characteristic of these indi- viduals who do not assimilate fats and as a conse- quence are weakened in vitality and subject to colds, who do not ever enjoy vigorous health, are delicate, KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. 27 easily tired and are subject to tuberculosis. In people who do not assimilate fats in sufiSicient quantities, a com- parative non-assimilation as it were, the exhalations from the lungs and skin and mucous membranes are fetid, showing a tendency to decomposition, so charac- teristic of badly nourished tissues. Another conse- quence of not taking in sufficient quantities or not assimilating fats (hydro-carbons) is that the amount of carbon-dioxid given out and the amount of oxygen taken in is diminished, and as a consequence there is less heat, stamina, vigor and vitality and lowered re- sistance to disease. Those then who are suffering from starvation of their tissues, and this applies to many, to a greater or less degree, most of whom are thin, but many of whom possess a watery, poorly nour- ished adipose, are unable to generate sufficient energy and heat, because the oxygen which we breathe in must act upon the carbon in our blood, and if this carbon cannot be taken up readily from the diet in the form of fat, it must be drawn from the tissues which in the above instances are already bankrupt. To overcome this condition is to build up an immunity from tubercu- losis and to produce constitution, stamina and vigor. It does not require the aid of the microscope to determine those who are subject to tuberculosis. The first predisposing symptoms of tuberculosis are due to faulty assimilation and the non-use of fats, which brings about lessened heat production and lowered vitality. Then we have dainty eaters who abhor fats and as a consequence all of these people are poorly nourished.

We shall now report the three cases who died of the disease while still under treatment. You will agree with J me that even in these advanced cases, the sub- cutaneous injections of oil have acted as a wonderful and actual specific benefit. This could be better rea- lized by you if you had seen the cases as they were treated, seen the advanced condition of the disease, and the wonderful strides which they made toward health. Case IX. Mr. M. G. M., Chicago. Diagnosis, chronic fibrous tuberculosis of several years' standing. Patient small ; of poor development of chest and body. He was unable to expand his chest but very little with his best efforts, most of his breathing being diaphragmatic. This was due to the large deposits of fibrous tissue throughout the lungs. What a shame that this patient should become so far advanced with the disease, for he would have been a very favorable case to cure had he received any attention, or even proper advice early in the disease. For here his own system was continu- ally working to heal the lung and still he did not have sufficient nutrition to entirely overcome the disease, and as the fire crept on the scars would form, and heal that part seared from the disease. This patient was not in such circumstances that he could stop work. He improved greatly under treatment but was taken with an acute pneumonia.' They would not allow him to stay at his boarding house, and he was removed to the County Hospital. He recovered from the pneu- monia but on account of lack of lung tissue it was not thought advisable to treat him further and he died a short time later. The following case presented the most advanced KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. 199 condition of chronic fibrous tuberculosis that I have ever treated or seen: Case XIII. Mr. W. M., Chicago, March, 1907. Car- penter, age about 27. The patient coughed and raised some mucous. No temperature. When the chest of this patient was exposed and he made efforts of ex- pansion no detection of breathing motion from the chest could be seen above the fifth rib. It was like looking at the chest of a dead man. Air could be heard coming in the lungs only beneath and below the shoulder blades. Pulse 108, weight 126 pounds. This patient was treated with one ounce injections of oil for nine weeks, and he made a gradual increase in weight up to 145 pounds. His strength increased greatly and his breathing was less laborious. The formation of mucous from his lungs stopped entirely as well as the cough. This patient's lungs were healed but there was so very little left of them that the heart had to work too hard to keep up the circulation for the aeration of the blood, and with the relaxation produced by the warm June days (warm days and nights are always bad for these cases and cold nights and cold days are the heart's best stimulant) his feet commenced to swell. This was June 10. No further treatments were given for, as stated before, the lungs had healed, but too late in the disease. He died at the end of the month, his heart being no longer able to carry on its great labor. Case XIX. Mr. E. S., Chicago, age 31, family his- tory negative. The duration of the disease to patient's knowledge was two years, during which time he had been at Phoenix, Arizona. He returned to Chicago to die, as advised by his physician there. Diagnosis, ad- vanced fibrous tuberculosis. This patient could lie on 200 KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. his left side only, because of shortness of breath and cough, and on this side there was a bed sore. After- nooi; temperature 100. Normal weight 147 pounds; weight at beginning of treatment 1271/^ pounds. He had no appetite and could not be persuaded to eat. He lived on six cold storage eggs a. day, which produced cramjDS and diarrhoea, but persuasion as to a suitable diet produced nothing but promises to do better. His limbs were swollen. A patient advanced to this de- gree was beyond any hope, but he desired treatment. He was treated one month with the subcutaneous in- jections of oil in doses varying from a drachm to an ounce, and during this time he improved so much in nutrition that the bed sore healed, and the swelling seemed to diminish some from his feet. He gained some five pounds in flesh, but taking cold there was not enough lung tissue left to aerate the blood and he died. It must be admitted, all things considered, that the subcutaneous injections of oil influenced the dis- ease toward recovery. Such a case as this if taken earlier could certainly have been cured. If he had been treated by this method instead of going to Ari- zona two years previous, he would have been well and free from the disease. SUMMARY. In summary then we may say, in view of the facts, that we have demonstrated the correctness of the the- ories here presented and that: 1. Subcutaneous injections of oil do cure com sumption, and repair great tissue destruction of the lungs. 2. That the ])atient cured will remain well, pro- viding that he continues the eating of fats. It is a good rule not to let a meal go by without taking fat KEYES : THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. 301 in some form, and by so doing keep up tlie habit of assimilating tliem from the intestine. 3. Since fats as a rule are not assimilated in suffi- cient quantities from the intestine of the consumptive patient, because the habit of assimilating fats has not been formed, owing to the patient's abhorrence of fats and oils, and because of the torpidity of the liver, the pancreas and all other tissues of the body, there- fore, oils must be injected subcutaneously, and these injections must be kept up until the lesions are healed and the habit of assimilating fats and oils from the in- testine is established. 4. To establish the habit of digesting fats and as- similating oils they must be eaten in large amounts and continuously, not allowing a meal to go by without taking them in liberal quantities. When first taken into the intestine very often oils break up into fatty acids and glycerine and are expelled, or they are not absorbed and pass away without any change. Conse- quently, when the habit of assimilating oils is once formed it should be maintained by their constant use, and since consumptive patients are very apt to relapse into their old habit of abhorring fats and oils, they must be impressed with the fact that in their condi- tion it will be very easy for them to get out of the habit of assimilating fats and oils should they neglect to eat them, and in that case there may be a return of the disease. 5. When oils are injected they must be taken up, and be excreted principally by the lungs in the form of carbon, oil l^eing a hydro-carbon. They therefore aid and produce lung development. 6. Life and vitality of the human being are de- pendent upon a sum of forces, principal of which is 202 KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. the blood, which in turn is dependent upon nutrition to carry on the metabolism of the tissues. Oil is an affinity which when injected unites with the blood and supplies material for the formation of tissue, cell nutrition, and cell activity, and consequently builds up nutrition more rapidly than any other means. By the injections of oil the blood cells find for their growth or repair, or for the nourishment of other tissues that which they readily appropriate. 7. Subcutaneous injections of oil require very little energy upon the part of the body to convert the oil so injected into body heat, energy, life, and nutri- tion for tissue repair. 8. People who assimilate fats in sufficient quanti- ties do not have consumption. 9. Oil destroys the activity of germs when they are placed in it almost immediately, and germs so placed in oil disappear as well. 10. Characteristic of tuberculosis and other in- flammatory diseases of the lungs is the large epithelial cells swollen with fatty substance, and this precedes caseation, during which process the bacilli often dis- appear. If there is no fat eaten in our diet, or if this is not assimilated and the fat tissue of the body has been exhausted of its oil, then little or no oil can be gathered by these cells, and their contents is more serious and the destruction of the germ is less marked. Therefore, the subcutaneous injections of oil do supply the necessary material for the destruction of the germ of the disease, in just such a way and manner that it must be used for that purpose, since most all of the oil is excreted by the lungs, besides producing nutrition and cell activity. Oil is the greatest germicide which the body manufactures in its own laboratory, and is KEYES: THE RENEWAL OF LIFE. 203 the one which can be used for the successful treat- ment of this disease. This chapter was published as advance sheets about one year ago. Since the above cases were re- ported a great number have been treated with similar results and in addition to the treatment of tubercu- losis I have obtained results which prove that oil sub- cutaneously injected is nature's serum in the cure of all diseases, in the building of immunity from disease, and in the making of stamina and constitution.
