(fifth dorsal) The typhoid germ
causes the rhomboid major and other
powerful muscles in the upper dorsal
to contract, as they are well saturated
with typhoid bacilli because of blood
stasis, (stagnation), caused by the
subluXaticn restricting the nerve sup
ply from this portion Of the anatomy
This contraction draws the spinous
processes together causing greater
pressure on nerves and typhoid fever
is the result
The three children have no sublux-
alton, the nerve supply is unrestricted,
hence the germs are carried by the
circulation of the blood to the excre-
tory organs and cast out of the body,
+! keeping them immune from the dis
ease.
Has this question ever before been
SO satisfactorily answered?
The chiropractor is able to break up
a fever, including typhoid, in twenty
4 four to forty-eight hours and often in
a very few minutes.
! 1t is possible for one in normal con-
dition if he has never had typhoid few
er, to take into his system such a cop
ious amount of the dreaded germ that
muscular contraction causes the sub
luxation to occur, resulting in the
fever.
i Why let this self-limited constitu-
tional disease run its course when it
can be cured in one or two adjust
ments? We free the nerves at central
place. and in the lumbar region which
has control over the Peyer's patches
in the ileum, the temperature falls
from 105 to SO 1-6 degrees F. in few
minutes and the body is bathed in per-
spiration. The fever seldom rises
high again and after the second ad-
justment the patient is usually able
to eat and resume his daily routine.
The Blood.
Disease is but the result of abnor-
NAL function of nerves. If the eXcre-
tory organs are in a normal condition
and the body is free from venereal dis
orders, then disease of the blood Is
unknown to the chiropractor. Nine
out of ten cases of skin disease are
caused by subluXation at kidney
place." restricting the nerve supply,
and making the blood impure
With the spinal column in hand,
one can readily explain why kidney
complains are so prevalent 1t is sim
ply because the transverse processes
are short at the eleventh and twelfth
; dorsal and do not afford as much
; space for ligamentous and muscular
attachment as do other transverse
processes Thus we so often find sub
luxations at kidney place" The kid
neys are the scavengers to the sys-
TEN and when they are inactive, the
chiropractor frees the nerves which
supply them and they become normal.
Why is the disease manifest in 9th
er parts of the body when the cause
is in the spine? AS the receiver at the
opposite end of the telephone line
hears my message, so the expression
of the nerve infringement is located
in the portion of the body in which
these nerves end. A patient calls fol-
an adjustment He listens to the eX
PLANTATION of the science of chiroprac
tic. He states: II can see how you
cure many diseases but mysbac'S is as
sound as dollar, my only affection is
stomach trouble"
He is surprised to find that
the chiropractor can Immediately
find the very emanation OF
the tender nerves at the sixth dorsal
foramen and he is ready to admit, "It
is the first time l ever knew my back
was sore.' 1t matters not in what por
ton of the body disease is manifest
it's cause is. with but few exceptions
n the spine.

Gray says, "The external branches
from the sympathetic ganglia com

+ Hence, the brain and entire nervous
system is connected but it is only
