THE MACHINERY OF LIFE
0steOpathy the Science that Keeps all
the Parts Working in Harmony
and Unison.

Every day people are heard t.
say why don't you try Osteopa
thy for that trouble Of yours, anC
in a good many cases the answer
is "well / guess it is a good thing
but ] don't know much about it
: I don't hardly understand it can ds
for one"
Well, here is what it is and wha
it will do, told by a prominent au
thority in a simple concise mannei
that anyone cah understand.
The human organism keeps heal
thy and well when nothing inter
feres with its natural functions; a:
soon as the machinery of circula-
ton, secretion, digestion, absor.
ption ETC., are interfered with we
are sure to experience some disease,
and disease means that there is
something going wrong with the
machinery of life.
All parts Of the body secure nu-
triton by means of the nerves and
blood vessels. If some abnormal
pressure is brought to bear on any
one Of these channels of vitality the
process of nutrition is checked in
that particular location. 1t is very
easy to see what may cause lowered
vitality in one or another organ or
tissue allowing disease (that means
the absence of ease) to set up.
You have often caught "cold"
even from a slight draught or
strained a muscle from slipping on
the sidewalk or lifting too heavy a
burden. Over exertion in any di-
rection, will cause either physical
or mental suffering. Such con
ditions within our bodies furnish
oil the cause needed to impair the
vital currents of life, both nerve
and blood, throughout the body.
What is the RESULT
Disease.
What is the remedy
Remove the cause of abnormalty |
by direct treatment where it is
needed.
The Osteopath. by his trained |
sense of touch and his scientific
methods of diagnosis can locate the
deranged parts and restore them to
their normal position and tension.
Nature then obligingly works a
cure. The obstruction removed
there is nothing to prevent health
any longer. Ease" is established
wnen disease" is remedied. The
now perfect circulation and due
amount of nervous energy restore
glowing health.
1t is the doctrine Of the Osteo-
path and the fundamental princi-
pie of Osteopathy that the body it.
self has the power to successfully
combat disease, if that power is
only really released. If you dam
up the healing power of one of
the blood streams So that it can not
reach a particular organ, disease is
sure to follow. 1t is a mechanical
adjustment, a correction of the de-
ranged parts to a normal form and
that is wanted-its not
a drug. In the treatment of Os-
teopathy is employed mechanical
means, consisting of manipulations
as our chief 'menicine. It does
not give drugs at all to uake
the body perform its honest natur-
al work. Attention to sanitation,
hygiene, diet and mental con-
iitions are also osteopathic. The
method Of treatment depends on
The location and nature of the
cause.
Two cases are not treated just
exactly alike, although to the pa ,
.ient 4 might seem that they ,
we're alike. The thing to be done
S done-that's all.
