the Nerve Stimulus which the brain sup
plies and flows through the spinal cord
and Is transmitted through the specific
nerve to the stomach. for instance, be-
comes impaired that the stomach fails
to receive its necessary supply, of Nerve
Stimulus and thereby becomes what is
called diseased"
This may result in stomach trouble in
the form of dyspepsia, indigestion or
cause gastric troubles, or any one of the
dozen common ailments so common to
that particular organ. If this nerve con-
Meeting the stomach with the spinal
cord becomes impinged between those
two segments between which the nerve
enters the spinal cord, then there is
reduced supply of the Nerve Stimulus
funtionating the stomach and that organ
necessarily loses many of its functions
and is unable to perform its work prop
erly.
The largest per cent of human disease
: il caused by what we might term
"pinched nerves." SO all that is neces-
sary Is to remove the nerve pressure and
then let nature assert itself. You must
keep your nerves free from pressure If
you would be healthy and live long. In
order to do this the cushions of your
spine. that is the cartilage between the
segments, must be kept up to their nor
NAL thickness and elasticity. The whole
spine must be timber and supple. with
perfect motion at every Joint
Stiffness of the spine means that
these cartilage cushions have become
worn or compressed, and the bones of
the spine having no give or play simply
do not operate, and when these bones
become compressed this causes nerve
pressure, and nerve pressure means n
diminution of the supply of nerve Stim-
uIus. Squeeze a nerve and you obstruct
the currents of that nerve. That means
weakness and disease.
What you call energy is nothing but
Stimulus as transmitted by the nerves.
1t is sent to the cells of the body, and
as long as the nerve channels are free
the Stimulus will pass to the place of
function, normal activity will result and
normal function means health. Chiro-
practic is the science of adjusting dis
placement in the spinal column, COM
monty called the backbone and the re-
moving of pressure from the nerves 1t
matters not what part of the body or
what organ is affected, the cause lies in
the spinal column.
Chropractic removes the cause for the
lack of feeding of the Nerve Stimulus
and then nature. having no obstruction
insists upon your being well. There is no
cure like nature. Sickness is simply the
result of entagonizing nature, your body
and the various organs contain therein:
Remove this antagonism and nature will
keep you we'll, for all nature is always
well.
Normal nerve functions keep the body
well and not until the life current. or
Nerve Stimulus is impaired or cut off do
we have disease. Life is expressed
through Junction.; health is expressed
through normal function; diseas Sc is ex-
pressed through abnormal function;
death is expressed by the absence of
function.
suppose the vetebrae becomes dis
placed by sudden jars, missteps. falls,
accidents, improper posture and any
cause then you have at once in your
body the serious obstacle of the great
covering to the spinal cord being i'm
perfect or out of place. 1t is very often
the case that the vertebrae is displaced
so slightly that 1t may not be noticed
by the ordinary physician, but is dis
covered by the Chiropractictor. This
dislocation results in an impairment of
the functions of the spinal cord. and, of
course, necessarily means a decrease in
the operation of the distributing nerves.
When the pressure is removed from the
nerves they will function normally and
You will be restored to perfect health.
The benefits must come by removing
pressure from the nerves and this can
only be done by the science of adjusting
