ANAroMY upHoLps osrEopArHY.

ANATOMY UPHoLDs osTEoPATHY.
Most diseases are of spinal
origin.
That is the characteristic gen.
e~ralization of osteopathy in a nut
shell.
1t is upon this proposition that
We throw down the gauntlet to
older schools of medicine, and it
is only by disproying this con-
tention that osteopathy can be
made to take a back place in the
m lrch of science.
1t is impossible to study the
anatomy of the spinal column
without m~arveling that it so sell
dom gets out of order. The wonder
is that it should be able to do its
WORK at all. The spinal column
Is made up of twenty-four separate
bony segments, the vertebrate,
which join the head above and the
pelyis below. Each vertebrae is
separated from and at the same
time joined to its fellow above and
bslow by dense buffers of yielding
cartilage; over bone and cartilage
compact strong straps of ligament
pass and interlace with mathe-
NAUTICAL precision, binding all
firmly together.
This marvellous pillar, when
braced on every side by guys Of
muscle and tendon, becomes the
incomparably strong, slender,
graceful, agile spinal column
strong enough to support not alone
the body but all the burdens man
carries; scarcely thicker than a
broomstick, yet as supple as a
carriage whip; capable not only
OF bending in every direction, but
also Of torsion and-marvel of
marvels-self restorative to its
correct axis after every eonceiv-
able gyration, SO long only as its
mechanism is in relatively correct
position and adjustment.
Fancy a machine of steel and
rubber, capable of such complex
motion, such wondrous strength,
yet having such an elastic power
to regain its normal form and ad-
justment. The human spinal
column stands as the most match
less piece of workmanship in all
mechanics!
COMPLEX MACHINES EASIEST DIS
ORDERED.
1t is conceivable that the most
intricate of mechanical devices is
less liable to get out of repair than
the coarsest? Are such extraor-
binary demands of motion less
likely to disorder a machine than
simpler motions? Gross displace-
ments of these spinal segments,
as well as fractures are frequent
from maximum violence; but will
not the machine suffer in a thou
sand smaller, less discernible,
ways because of all grades of
violence from least to greatest?
Will not a multitude of lesser in
juries happen for every one of the
more pronounced, quickly recog-
nized surgical" cases? And may
such disorder overtake the sup
porting framework of the body
the bones, cartilages and ligaments
without damage to the finely
wrought, delicately set, exquisitely
balanced structures that occupy
exact positions upon and within
this skeletaI framework?
The conclusions of anatomy are
unmistakable; The spine, by all
laws of physics, is momentarily
liable to get out OF good mechan-
ical adjustment; it is subject to
slips, wrenches, %pressures, sprains,
deadlocks, contractions and con-
gestions-all of which require an
intelligent engineer to adjust, to
relieve, to cure. That specialist,
when Nature comes to a dead
lock and cannot regain the normal,
is the osteopathic physician.
