construction
The majority of people regard ed.
ucation in theory as something that is
always moving forward, upward; be
ing broadened every hour and that
there is much to be learned. In prac.
tice, though, the opposite is true. Ed.
ucation, irrespective of subject. is a
sealed and closed book. Anything
worth knowing is known; worth writ.
ing has been written; worth thinking
has been thought. This is vitality true
with medicine, religious or politics.
Let anyone come forth with a new
theory OF either one. What is the
practice of the people--the medical
profession, the law, the church? Each
one in its turn denounces, condemns.
scathingly refuses even decent and
civil hearing. In theory they admit
the room for improvement. In prsc-
tice they scorn, despise and hate.
81 shall assume that you are with
me as students, willing to see wrong
changed. To understand ourselves we
must know our bodies and minds
to do this we turn to the science of
medicine. 1t was and is the primary
study Of the existing state of our bod
les, hence happiness only can come
from it being mended better than 1t

Following these Introductory re-
marks, Mr.. Palmer explained intimate

chiropractic, using illustrations which
gave intimate information to his audi
tors. He explained the relations of
electricity tothe human organism and

tic 1t is but conception, an under
standing, knowledge that man is
electrical; that his spine is the key

Man, has one Source-God, which
we don't need know anything about
through the knowledge would not hurt
the majority; two diseases, two prin'
ciples of retroaction, "a buttons to be
adjusted and one way to do 1t. Does
that need a superabundance of in.
struction and time? Anyone who can
understand commercial electricity can
be an apt student of human electric
ity; any man, woman or child who
can turn on electrical buttons can do
as we'll for man.
