The Bones ofthe Body
And How They
Affect Health.

Any intelligent person knows that
the bones of the body must be prop
erly developed and in correct relation,
part to part, if the body is to be nor
NAL in shape, but comparatively few
recognize that correct relationship of
the parts of the body is essential to
normal functional activities. That
faulty body structure is one of the
great causes of human disease has
been established by the science of
osteopathy and has been abundantly
proved in osteopathic practice; and
when the mechanisms and the activi-
ties Of the body are examined with
this truth in mind, the fact becomes
so self-evident that one wonders it
was so long neglected in the diagnosis
and treatment of disease.
How bad Mechanism in Our Joints"
Makes Sickness and Why Correct
Structure Is the Foundation
of Good Health
While the word "osteo" means
bone, ,osteopathic science and practice
does not deal with bones only, but in
cludes the entire structures of the
body: muscles, tendons, ligaments,
blood vessels, nervous tissues, mem
branes, organs, skin, etc. The ad-
justment of bones does not play any
more important part in osteopathic
practice than does the adjustment of
other tissues such. as the ligaments
and muscles. Those variations of
bones from their correct or normal
position, to which osteopathy gives it's
special attention, are usually very
slight, but 1t is the effect of these
slight deviations on surrounding tis-
sues which makes them SO important.
Ligaments and muscles get strained
and sore, then thicken and harden.
Nerves and blood vessels which inter
lace these ligaments and muscles, be-
come pinched and their currents OBJ
structed. Nerve action and circula-
tion are impeded and stagnated and
then follows abnormal functioning Of
one organ or another and the distress
sing symptoms and conditions desig-
mated as diseases under various
names. Faulty body structure inter-
feres with nerve flow and blood cir
culation. Without proper nerve stim-
ly; consequently, correct structur,
is the foundation of good health.
In the September issue of Osteo-
pathic Health, which is an illustrated
number, the structure Of the body
and the theory of osteopathy in re-
gard to the effect on health of NAL
positions of bones is explained in
very lucid manner 1t tells about the
bones which are most liable to slight
misplacements that may cause grave
disorders to health and why it is that
misplacements of these particular
bones, If not corrected, must newt
ably lead to disease conditions.
You can get copy Of Osteopathic
Health from any osteopathic physi-
clan for the asking. Do it today.
You will be interested in the infor-
nation the magazine gives you about
the body and about osteopathy, even
If you are not victim Of i'll health.

PRESIDENT NOW SEES CONGRESS

VIDUALLY
(By United Press)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-The Roose-
veltian practice Of seeing a maximum
number Of Congresmen in minimum
space Of time, has been adopted by
President Wilson. Members Of Con
gress aren t very keen about the-new
system.
Instead Of going individually and
spending from five minutes to half an
hour with the President alone, Repre-
sentatives and Senators now go into
the Presidents office in a group Of from
three to twenty. Roosevelt adopted
this practice when he was President.
The President passes fromone to the
other disposing of all of them in jig
time, as compared with the old system.
In addition the President sees his
callers now in the afternoon making it
even more difficult for Congressman to
get in for they have to leave the floor
of the capitol in order to confer with
the Executive.
