2. They prevent the nerves from
being squeezed at the spinal joints
by holding the bones of the spine
apart.
1t is to these cushions you owe
your grace of body. your power to
bend, to turn, and to twist your
neck and back. Were it not for these
cushions your spine would be stiff
and practically immovable.
Again. you owe not only your
grace of motion, but also your
health and even your life to these
cushions. They stand at the gate
way of life so to speak, and de-
termine by their CONDITION
whether these gateways shall be
open or closed. They determine by
their CONDITION the set of the
electric SWITCHES. They deter
mine by their CONDITION whether
these SWITCHES shall be open, al
lowing the electric current to flow
freely through them. or whether
they shall be partially or fully
closed. OBSTRUCTING or cutting
off entirely this current that is life.
Each joint of the spine a CUSH-
SWITCH combined, in which the
perfect condition of both depends
upon the perfection of the cushion.
Through certain number of
these cushion switches of the spine
nerves pass on their way from brain
TO heart. If one or more of these
cushions becomes compressed the
switch gradually closes, and gradu-
ally cuts off the electric power flow
Ing from the brain through the
nerves to the heart. When this cut
Off reaches a certain stage the
heart stops and death follows, due
entirely to the squeezing of one or
more nerves between the bones of
the spine as If 1t were done by a
pair of pincers, as before described.
The principles here described APP
ply not only to the heart, but to all
the internal organs. Through other
cushion switches of the spine nerves
pass on their way from the brain
to the bronchial tubes and lungs.
Pinching or squeezing any of these
nerves means first, weak lungs.
then diseased ones-the CONDITION
which precedes and makes possible
bronchitis, pneumonia, consump-
ton. etc.
Through other of these cushion
switches nerves pass on their way
from the brain to the somach, liver,
bowels, etc. Pinching or squeezing
any of these nerves means first, in
digestion, Inactive liver, constipa-
tion, etc. and then liberation OF
these organs. preparing the way for
typhoid fever and many other fatal
diseases to which the digestive or
gans are subject.
Through other of these cushion
switches nerves pass on their way
from the brain to the kidneys, blad-
der and sexual organs. Pinching or
squeezing any of these nerves means
first. weak kidneys, weak bladder,
weak sexual organs, etc, preparing
the way for the long list of diseases
which attack these parts of the
body.
Through still other of these
CUSHION SWITCHES the nerves
pass on their way from the brain
TO the eyes, the ears, the arms, legs,
etc. Squeezing means weakness.
then disease of these parts. So it
is throughout the body.
To prevent squeezing the nerves
IS they pass through the joints of
the spine. these joints must be per-
bones apart must be normal in
thickness, and all the spinal bones
themselves in their true position.
In word, the spine must be per-
feet.
Moreover all other parts of the
body must be in their true position
i;ecause, while pressure on the
nerves most generally occurs in the
spinal joints. it can and often does
occur elsewhere along the course of
the nerves. Rigid muscles or liga-
ments, ribs and other bones drawn
slightly out of perfect alignment. $
Well as an imperfect spinal joint,
may obstruct the current flowing
The great problem, therefore, of
curing disease is a problem of trac-
ing the nerves from whence they
start in the brain to where they end
i'll the various organs and parts of
the body. and seeing to 1t that they
are free from pressure throughout
their course-capable of transmit
ting their normal QUANTITY
fun one hundred units-of electric
power.
