I originated the art of adjusting vertebrae and the knowledge of every principle which is included in the construction of the science of Chiropractic. The amount of nerve tension determines health or disease. In health there is normal tension, known as tone, the normal activity, strength and excitability of the various organs and functions as observed in a state of health. The kind of disease depends upon what nerves are too tense or too slack. Functions performed in a normal manner and amount result in health.
Diseases are conditions resulting from either an excess or deficiency of functionating.
Spirit soul and body compose the being, the source of mentality. Innate and Educated, two. Chiropractors correct abnormalities of the intellect as well as those of the body. These discoveries and their development into a well-defined science are worth more to the student, practitioner and those desiring health, than all the therapeutical methods combined. I am the originator, the Fountain Head of the essential principle that disease is the result of too much or not enough functionating.
