Moreover, the truth Of this view

That pressure upon a. nerve in

that this interference prevents the
part or organ to which this nerve

cy, are facts verified almost daily

every hospital in the land. The only
difference Of opinion concerning
this matter that can occur the on
" question about which there can
be any dispute is, does the Slight
vertebral displace cement, which Chi
1ropractors call a subluxation, pro
duce enough pressure upon the
nerves with which it comes in con
cact to be the physical cause of
disease? A better and far more
Isatisfacto answer to this question
than either argument or verbal af-I
firmation affords, is the clinical
fact, a thousand times verified, that
as soon as the detected sublu1ation
is properly adjusted, and the. nor
NAL flow of mental impulses
becomes established, the disease,
whatever may be it's nature, name
or location, disappears. 5l.i
Such, briefly, are the principles
upon which the science, art, and
philosophy Of Chiropractic is
founded. Together with their 10
gical deductions they have added
Ito the sum Of accurate medical
knowledge which exists atlthe pres.
lent time. When one thoroughly
understands the philosophy Of Chi
ropractic he is no longer obliged to
ask, in vain, why people are WE'LL
i'll, lean, fat, physically active Of
lazy, mentally bright or dull, ner--
vous, erratic, hysterical or crazy;
why the exposure Of a number of
1persons to the same health-disturb-
ing influences, often results in each
becoming i'll with an entirely diff
ferent form of disease; why, when
a so-called contagious epidemic is
raging, the many contract it while
the few escape; why one man can
eat corned beef and cabbage three
times day as long as he: pleases,
with impunity, while another suf-
fers the fortunes and pangs which
only dyspeptics know, if he departs
but hairs breadth from the sim
Iple diet of crackers and milk or its
|digestible equivalent, or why a Civ
len form Of disease is experie nced
in the organs on one side Of the
body instead Of the other. All Of
these questions and many others,
