IS IT RIGHT
TO think the normal man
should live for 200 years? We
think so.

The horse or the COW attain their
growth in four years. and normally
live TO thirty-two. or eight times as
long as IL takes for growth.
Man has his growth at "a; eight
times twenty-four are nearly two hun
bred.
Man. standing erect, has more strain
on the spine.
Learn below how to keep the spine
normal
The Spinal Column is composed OF
% movable segments or vertebrse
and Sacrum and Coceyx-
Tie movable vertebrR are sepa-
rated by disks of white fibrous Carti-
lage. These disks in the normal man
being one-fourth in entire length OF
the column. These by carrying loads
or weights on the body or by contrac-
tons OF muscles or many other rea-
sons. become fattened. thus at night
a man is Il to = of an inch shorter
than in the morning. after he has
rested during the night. In old age
one is from TO inches shorter than
in middle life.
The movable vertebrR are divided
into 3 divisions, from the trunk to the
head. in number. called Cervicals.
The middle portion. IL in number,
called dorsaL
The lower one are called lumbar.
Between these segments we have
notches called intervertebral foramina,
through which pass the trunk nerves
from the cord tThe spinal cord is a
continuation of brain matter extend
ing TO the second lumbar. enclosed by
bowling arch known as the spinal Ca
nall
There nerves. containing from 2
to millions of filaments or nerve
threads. Some OF these fibres being
over 8 feet in length. Each pair OF
these trunk nerves connects certain
organs and tissue with the brain or
thinking part of man.
These trunks are connected by
white and gray rami WITH the syma-
thetic system, which in turn connects
with the IL pairs of cranial nerves.
thus every nerve is affected by the
condition of the trunk nerves.
The chirOpractor, knowing this, has
studied how to restore the spine to
normal condition. BY so doing. Ma
ture restores the body to health.
The first pair of spinal nerves or
suboccipital, by the head resting too
closely on. the first segment, causes
headache, badness. loss of hair.
blindness, cross-eyes, amblyopia, in
sanity and affections OF the ears.
Between the atlas and the axis we
have the second pair. which with the
third causing facial neuralgia.
Alveolar pyorrheo or shrinking away
the gums from the teeth. also includ-
ing the fourth pair. causing nasal ca
tarrh, hay fever and affections OF this
nature.
From The fourth down. including the
eighth pair. affecting the arms and
shoulders. causing paralysis of the up
per extremities and all troubles OF
the arms and shoulders.
The three upper dorsais, affecting
the lungs and bronchial tubes. caus-
ing diseases of these organs.
The fourth together with the sixth,
influences the general nervous sys-
tenn and has much to do with the
heart.
The fifth. on the left side principal
". affects the stomach, the right side
has some affect on the liver.
The sixth, seventh. eighth and ninth
cause affections of the liver. pancreas
and spleen.
The tenth. suprarenal capsule togeth-
er with the eleventh and twelfth, con-
trolls the kidneys.
The first lumbar causing affections
of the bladder.
Adjustments of the second lumbar
aborts typhoid fever. appendicitis, con-
stipation and all bowel trouble
The third has much TO do with the
reproductive organs and musculature
of the hips.
The fourth and fifth connects with
the brain and lower extremities.
Pinching OF the lumbar nerves cause
rectal trouble. loss of manhood, lum-
bago and troubles Of Ike nature.
