without turning the case over on his
stomach. we adjusted the axis ana
fourth cervical. which were both badly
subluxated, and let II rest at that.
Within few minutes the ''iittle boys
and the big boy were glad 70 note
that he could and did. of his volition,
move his head in all directions-from
side to side. up and down--and he
moved his jaw In talking and eating.
His arms became warm ana he could
feel In them both. This within TIVE
hours.
Fractured Ribs Found.
Even as our case lay on the bed
uncovered. any superficial examination
should have proved fractured ribs. For
some reason unknown. the local physi.
clan who had the case had never no.
ticed that any rib was fractured. It
didn't take DIR. Edwards h.. Eew
minutes to decide that all the Fight
ribs were fractured from the sternum,
crepitus being plainly noticeable. Up

facts OF the accident were unknown;

Everybody Afraid.
Fear was the biggest pathology need
ing adjusting not only In the case itself
but the nurse. friends, wife. relatives
and everybody else that swArmed
around the house to know what we
were going to do. Fear OF It being
what Is wasn't: fear Of the physician
not knowing about subluxations, hence
calling 1t dislocation would have let
this man lay In bed and die.
Tho Fear Frightened.
We adjusted the fear by showing
them 1t wasn't the thing they thought
1t was. This man will live. While It
was an expensive trip. yet life OF .
dear one Is cheap at any time. Had
we not made this trip. the case would
sooner or later have died for the want
OF proper. chiropractic attention. He
was given twenty four hours to die
ty-four years to live.
