the vertebrae. If there Is pressure on
the nerve between two segments of the
spinal column. Chiropractic removes the
pressure. restores and positively in
creases the growth of the cartilage be-
tween, and allows the connecting nerves
to have free play. If the great trunk
nerves or any of the nerves which radi-
ate therefrom are squeezed into a third
of their normal size then the nerve is
functionating two-thirds only and the
organ of the body with which that
nerve connects is only receiving two
thirds of It's nerve nourishment.
Your nerves and your nerve centers
and your nerve connections must be alb
solutely free from the slightest pres
sure, and to avoid pressure on these
highly sensitive centers the joints of
your spine must be Kept fully open and
the spongy cartilage between the bones
must be maintained thick and perfect.
Spinal joints never become too loose. nut
when they are not properly cared for
they do become too tight and adhesions
occur. 1t is these adhesions or the tight
ening of the spinal joints that make the
trouble and prevent the proper flow of
the Nerve stimulus. Chiropractic is the
only science that removes or modifies
the deadly nerve pressure.
When the bones in your spine get out
of line, the first thing they do is to
pinch the nerves which lead from the
brain to the various parts of your body.
A vertebrae slips or turns little out
of place a nerve is pinched and the flow
of life force from the brain center is
shut off and the part of the body that
hv 1aa
ing nerve becomes weakened and sick.
Reader what would be your natural
answer to restore the norma copdition
of the affected part? Remove the pres
sure on the nerve, of course. Nature
needs no other help. Nature starts the
life giving Nerve Stimulus from Its
place of storage and source of supply on
its mission of health. ChirOpractic
merely gives this force IA free course.
Only few years ago the world stood
aghast as what was regarded as the
marvellous recovery of Mr.. Phillip
Armours daughter Lola. Professor
Lorenzo simply applied the removal of
pressure on the structural part of her
body. and that is the very thing which
Chiropractice does.
The human spine has thirty-three
bones with intervening cushions of
cartilage. These bones are piled one
upon the other and fastened together.
Between these bones are the radiating
nerves and only can the various organs
and parts of the body be supplied with
Nerve Stimulus through these radiating
nerves.
A nerve filament when abnormally
pressed. ceases to perform its normal
functions, namely the transmission of
stimulus, and that part of the bodily
tissue to which 1t extends and which 1t
supplies with sensation, motion or vi
tality will be without normal quality
or sufficient quantity which the nerve
filament properly operating, should
furnish.
Take, for instance, as an example. a
powerful young man, an athlete, who, in
his younger days takes the violent eXer-
else of wrestling or boxing or jumping,
lifting great weights, or any form of
activity which calls for pressure on the
spinal column; gradually the cartilage
separating the segments becomes com
pressed. The effect may not be noticed
for ten or twenty years, when 1t results
in a diseas Sc of some kind. Chiropractic
steps in, restores the segments to their
normal position and condition, increases
the supply of cartilage, permits the
Nerve Stimulus to flow properly
the nerves and the diseased organ is
restored to its normal condition, called
health.
Briefly, then, the course of all Nerve
Stimulus is in the brain. This energy
flows from your brain in currents
through the spinal cord, which is en-
cased in the spine, thence out between
the segments of the spine into the
nerves and various organs and parts OF
the body, giving to each and all their
life and power to function. Perfect
currents to all parts of the body mean
perfect health. Imperfect currents to
any parts mean imperfect health
