What Is L?
CHIROPRACTIC AND
THE NERVOUS
SYSTEM
y

The ChirOpractor has demonstrated
by deep research, earnest and careful
investigation that Innate Intelligence,
the life force within us, controls every
function OF the different organs in our
body, the brain and nerves. The brain
creates within its cells the energy and
the spinal cord is the conductor that
carries it to the nerves and they dis
tribute it throughout the body. even TO
the remotest parts, thus supplying the
organs and tissues with the nerve en-.
ergy which enables them to perform
tremendously their many functions.
A normal supply Of nerve energy prop.
erly distributed to all tissues and or,
gans OF the body is what the Chiro.
practor terms state of health. And
TO do this the brain must secrete and
the spinal cord deliver it to the nerves
and the nerves must be free from i'm.
pingement so as to deliver it to the
rest of the body. A sound mind and
a sound body cannot exist unless the
, conductlon and distribution OF vital
energy is perfect and free from OBJ.
struction-as the engine is dependent
upon water, coal and fire for it's We.
iocity, 50 the human body in health Is
dependent upon the production and
transmission TO every part the full
/ amount OF vital energy, and interior
ence with or deficiency in this, is dis.
ease. Chiropractors recognize health
as the normal harmonious expression

impulse created in the brain and

the nerves to the different parts OF the

suit OF any interference of the free
flows OF nerve impulse. The Chiroprac.

Nature then restores you to health
from me foregoing you can readily
see what an important part OF the
spine and the nervous system play in
lie, and IN fact 1t is the ground work
upon which the whole body is first
constructed and is the keystone that
must remain with us throughout life;
therefore, to have perfect health and
strength we must have a healthy brain
a healthy spinal column and cord, and
healthy nerves to carry the life-giving
ana DEMONSTRATING nerve force. Too
little nerve force given to the liver
renders that organ torpid, too much
causes nervous congestion and in.
llanmation, and the same will apply
to the stomach, kidneys, bowels and
other organs OF the body. a proper
quantity must be distributed or dis.
ease is the result.
Inc central nervous system is com.
posed OF the brain, spinal cord and
spinal nerves. The adult spinal col
umn is composed of 26 bones called
vertebrae, "a of which are normally
freely movable, through the spinal col.
umn is canal in which rests the spi
nal cord. Between every two bones
tthe vertebrae) pair OF nerves pass
out, one extends to the right, one to
the left, branching out into branches
throughout the body. Pressure on a
nerve causes pain in that part OF the
body in which the interrupted nerve
ends in, this being the case, when
pressure is taken off the primary
cause of disease is removed This
pressure is caused by the subluxation
OF the vertebrate that form the verte
bral column. All parts OF the body
are reached by spinal nerves. either
direct or by connection of other
nerves
