The Backbone IS the Key
to Bodily Health

= health OF the BODY WILL be doubted by thOSe1per-
sons who have given little or no study to- it land
$50 possibly think of it only as a necessary connect
ing link in the bony framework. However, among stu
dents of its structure and purpose its superior importance
as a health factor is widely recognized. The value Of its
orderly arrangement is now known to be very great; as
nature maintains health in the body through nerves that
are dependent upon the spinal bones for free passage from
the spinal cord to all body parts.
o. That tn: verebrae can be and frequenty::are displaced is a fact known to
all students of anatomy That such deiaions interfere with the free 1pass-
age of nerves between the joints and give rise to the real cause of disease by
such pressure, is a fact fully substantated by twenty years of chropractc
practice.
o. The spinal cord is n eongaton of the human brain, which maintains
healthy conditions in all body parts by the energy it creates and dispatches
directly to every cenin the body through N individual nerve6 fibre suppyngi il.
These fbers are given off from the spinal cord in trunks through openings be-
tween each ofthe spinalbones on either side Because :these joints become
slightly or greatly displaced, as the case may be, they prss against the nerve
trunks and cauep practically all physical disability, commonly called disease, by
obstrucing the flow of mental energy.
q, To the chropractor your spneis the index ofy your general condition as well
asthe mature of your alment5 whether acute OF chronic. By mode of pal
pating the spnous processes down the middle of the.back with the finger tips,
chiropractors can accurately detect and disphce vgtebrae by Judging their
deviation from normal alignment. To confirm such findings beyond question,
tender" nerves are treated from the point of pressure against them at the spine
to their endngs in the part they reach, adjustments of the subluxated spinal
joints are then given with the bare hands to effect removalof the cause of the
trouble suffered. =
U, Thenumber of such adjustc movesre required to effect permanent restoration
of the deuatng bones to their natural positions varies with different indivdu-
ais according to the ailments they:cause. Usually ne about each day is
givent until improvement warrants kssa and full restoration then.discontnu-
ice In conducting the necessary examination of the spine, there is n i'm
modest exposure of the person of the patient, o any embarrassing procedure
O the part of the chnopractor, There is no danger atan in the adjustment.
a. In the cases of children chropractors are unusually successful Why leave
children to constitutional weakness, disease and deformtes when adjustment
of their spnes will make them well and strong and insure conditions for a
buoyant life through their futures7 Children pronounced incurabe bylmedi-
cine, have in large numbers been fully restored to health by the chropractors.
Do not allow what may be considered a minor complaint in a child to go n.
attended to possibly more serious condition. -
O. My most careful attention will be given in free consultation and analysis
OF the spine to any n applying for it.
