J and If all solicitations were removed,
4 it would run on indefinitely. How can
this be done? Only by chiropractic
adjustment.
i The body needs adjusting as does a
machine that is out of repair. You
would not ask a mechanic to treat
your machine, neither should you ex-
pect your body to be cured by being
i treated. The chiropractor does not
treat symptoms in his patients but
wisely removes the cause of disease by
fixing what is wrong.
mechanic would not expect to
' make a machine run by removing
some part of it. Why is not the same
Judgment used in regard to the huma
body when afflicted? No more could
you expect 1t to perform it's natural
function with some portion of it re-
moved. When the chiropractor re-
leases the nerves by his adjustment,
it's supply is sufficient to restore the
abnormality to normal condition,
obviating the use of the surgeon S
knife in pathological cases. The
wrong is displacement of the ada
cent segments, or articular processes
between the vertebrae that pinch the
nerves, causing disease The cause,
then is in the spinal colum between it's
i tfty-two intricate articulations. 1t is
here that the adjustment must be
made If a permanent cure is estab-
lished.
l We do not go outside of the body
seeking remedies for means of cure.
We adjust the human machine and
all is well. For one to treat effects
would be to acknowledge that he did
not know the cause of disease.
A Dangerous Delay.
1t is far better to have your spine
placed in alignment than to have the
} dentist care for your teeth. Do not
delay, as you cannot begin to improve
sooner than today Come at the first
indication of disease so that cure can
be quickly established and vast
amount of suffering prevented. There
is no other way by which you can
have the cause removed
) The Incipiency of Disease.
, BY way OF comparison, the drayman
, has his wagon heavily loaded. He
, doubts the propriety of overlooking
but necessity seems topdemand it. AS
he goes over bridge where the EN-
bankment has been partially washed
: away by heavy rain, his wagon goes
down with tremendous jar. He
; feels the conclusion and fears the
axle has been broken He alights
and upon examination decides there is
nothing wrong and goes on his way
, His wagon gives faithful service for
many months, but one day, without g
load, he is travelling dusty street and
the wheels dropping into depression
, the axle goes down with a crash
Imagine the drivers surprise as he
reasons, There has been nothing
. wrong with my wagon He was mis-
taken, for the rust in the break shows
the axle was broken half in two lone
, ago. In an instant, he remembers the
incident at the bridge.
,, In like manner, solicitations result
from severe falls, or accidents, very
!, frequently in childhood, but may occur
at any age. For many years this may
not occasion serious complaint, but
the ligaments have been sprained, ad
